Ted Laurent is a stud and a great move for the Esks to hang onto him. I thought I had heard he would give the NFL a look. But $100K for Hugh Charles, that is just downright laughable as he would be my 6/7th on my list of backs I would take in the league.

BIG MONEY: The *Sun* has learned the Eskimos are intending to make a substantial offer of somewhere in the area of $100,000 to starting running back Hugh Charles, who is scheduled to become a free agent in February, along with an even bigger contract to non-import defensive tackle Ted Laurent, which they have been asked not to sign until after the expansion draft takes place Dec. 16. It's expected the Laurent deal would make him one of the top four or five highest paid Canadian players in the league.
