2013/2014 Stampeders Offseason

Triple post. iPad had a seizure.

Scott Mitchell from the Sun thinks Cordarro Law will be back in Calgary but thinks Tsoumpas could sign in Edmonton.

[Da_Chief]

Losing Tsoumpas will be a HUGE blow. I thought he hated the Esks now, after how his draft turned out and being Stamp for years now.

I have to think it will be an open competition between Tate and Mitchell in training camp. Obviously health is the biggest issue for Tate (including coming into camp at 100%); BLM has the better upside and has a stronger arm if you're looking to stretch the field with the vertical passing game (something we should be doing with our receiving corps).

No way Tsoumpas goes to Edmonton. Can't believe huff hasn't locked him up yet, it would be a massive blow to our team.

I agree, we need to keep him. Losing him and Deane in one offseason is not good.

But maybe the reason Huff has signed a few OL is because he knows Tsoumpas doesn't want to be back..

Hope he gets locked up soon tho.

What is Tsoumpas' injury situation? Has he fully recovered from his concussion?

With the CFL free agency coming up pretty quick are there any free agents from other teams that you would be interested in the Stamps signing?

Maybe some improvements to our secondary?

[MissTeeks]

Another potential free agent re-signs:

There are a couple free agents from Winnipeg, Jovon Johnson and Alex Suber, that I wouldn't mind. I also like Alex Hall, D-Line, from the Riders. And if they lose Tsoumpas, they need to sign an o-line man.

Bennett, Bolden, Forzani, Law, Hecht, Parker, Randle and Tsoumpas I am hoping Huff sign soon. I like Malik Jackson but I wouldn't be too upset if Huff did not sign him. I think Deron Mayo made him expendable.

[MissTeeks]

Huff's a busy guy!

Should also mention that Huff is up for Coach of the year as well.
Against Chamblin and Austin.
