So far we lost DB Brandon Browner(NFL Seattle), DB Dwight Anderson(MTL), R Ryan Thelwell(retired), DL Tearius George(released), S Wes Lysack(Tor).
Signed LB Tim St. Pierre, R/PR/KR Larry Taylor, DB Geoff Tisdale.
We might lose OG Ben Archibald(due to salary cap), DL Mike Labinjo.
I think losing both DB Browner and Anderson might sting a bit. I like the signing of Tisdale though. He is probably not be as physical as Browner or Anderson but he is talented and young DB. We finally have a legit and explosive punt return in Larry Taylor especially if he plays the way he did 2 years ago. Deon Murphy is probably fast but for some reason he seems to play scared last season. Instead of trying to find a hole in the middle he goes to the sideline. Tim St. Pierre will definitely help our special team and he can be a good back up for Randy Chevrier as a long snapper. Ben Archibald will definitely be miss if he sign somewhere else. I think BC Lions or Toronto might go after him. Wally Buono always love signing import OL while Jim Barker is very familiar with him. The only thing that might stop those teams from signing him is the big money he will command. I am hoping Archibald will go for hometown discount and sign back with the Stampeders.
