Eskimos release QB Khari Jones

[Otto-matic]

Khari going back to the peg?

[Calgary Flames]

Not suprised...

[Otto-matic]

What team do you think Khari will be playing for.

Will we see him back with the Stamps or will he go to the Riders or to his old team the Blue Bombers

[Flickered Flame]

Its not surprising at all. This is Ray's team and Maas is the backup when he is healthy. Jason Johnson was very good in the first x-game against the Bombers here in Edmonton, and KJones just didn't look mechanically right.

[JiriHrdina]

Damn this guy cannot buy a break although this might be better for him. I just hope he gets a chance to play. He's acted in a very impressive manner through all this.

in other Stamps news, "3rd Stringer" Ben Dougherty was cut today, leaving the Stamps with 2 QBs on the roster. Return of KJones? I doubt it...but a possibility. Ben Sankey was cut by Hamilton, so he's another possibility...but I'm thinking Souza may make another appearance here...

[zarrell]

Zero chance he ends up in Winnipeg. Most likey he ends up in the East. Hamilton, Montreal and Toronto are the most likely, in that order.

[shoestring]

I hope souza comes back too.
Zarrell is correct in where Kjones is going.Not sure why any team wouldn't give him a try if the price was right though.

[Mango]

Montreal would have a great 1/2 with Callvio and Jones

Yeah, absolutely classy; I really feel for the guy. When healthy he's better than 80% of the backups in the league, and better than a few of the starters, too. Definitely deserves to be playing. My guess is that the lands with Hamilton or Ottawa.

Unfortunate last year or so for Jones, although like everyone has said he has handled it with class throughout.

Not sure if Hamilton would be a great place for him. They already have a slow old quarterback in Mcmanus and would htink that if he went done they would want to give Brady as many snaps as possible to get him ready for the future.

I think Ottawa or Montreal would be good places for him. Bith have iffy back-ups and have qb's that have been injured in the past. I think he would be a good fit back in Calgary but it seems that the coaching staff would not want him back and are happy with the qb situation as it is.

[Otto-matic]

But we only have 2 QBS right?

So I have a feeling that Khari might become a stamp again

[moon]

we do have only two QB's but there are other guys out there that might be brought in as well.

I don't know how much Khari will want to come in after being cast aside by the current regime. Perhaps he has no problem coming in as a number two guy but after expecting to have a real good shot to start after the Winnipeg trade and then being cut and I not sure he will have Calgary as choice number one. Who knows though it seems he really got into the community in his short time here last year.

I am also not sure that Calgary will want to bring him in. It seesm they didn't try to re-work his deal when we had him before and I am not sure they want a big name to but a ton of pressure on Burris. I think they want Henry to know and feel like it is his team and he has nothing to worry about.

Our new QB prospect.
