Riders re-sign Milo

[Brannigans Law]

Kevin Glenn with a mistake on twitter, most likely wanted to to a direct message but tweeted out:

Kevin Glenn ‏@qterback5 26m
Tell nick and Keron Ottawa some snakes they lied to me

Then tried to claim he was hacked. Ya as if someone is going to hack Kevin Glenn lol.

Kevin Glenn ‏@qterback5 6m
my twitter has been hacked. I've kept quiet about my situation in Ottawa for weeks now, so why would I post something like that. Cont

Everyone knows what type of person I am and this is not something in my character.

I was just about to post the same thing. You can hardly blame the guy - but as it stands it is looking like a pretty bad mistake by the REDBLACKS to select him in the first place if they were going to sign a QB anyway

[MissTeeks]

I'm just glad their mistake meant we didn't have to worry about losing a kicker.

The 2 finalists for C.Butler are HAM & BC. The same 2 teams had the 10th & 11th picks in the '11 Draft...right before Butler went 12th.#oops

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Butler will be a loss but by the end of the year I think his loss won't be felt much. Hurl (if he can stay healthy) is ready and I think Newman just needs a chance

Edit: Appears Newman has signed with the Bombers. Darn it.

The Canadian Football League has fined Arland Bruce and Bryant Turner - http://ow.ly/twpFt #CFL

The Canadian Football League announced today that it has fined Montreal Alouettes slotback Arland Bruce III and Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive tackle Bryant Turner for making inappropriate comments on social media towards openly gay professional athletes.

"The comments made by these players are extremely disappointing and do not represent the CFL's views or the views of the vast majority of our players," said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon. "The CFL is supportive of openly gay athletes in professional sports and we commend the courage shown by Michael Sam. During the off-season, we have been working with an organization that specializes in this subject and look forward to announcing a formal partnership with them in the near future."

And the Als officially released Bruce.

There was no guarantee they would have been able to sign Burris. Picking Glenn was still the smart move at the time.

Lowell Ulrich of the Vancouver Province says Winnipeg nearing deal with Nick Moore.

Scott Mitchell has signed with Toronto. Toronto is a having a good day, Edmonton not so much as they lost Mitchelll where they desperately need help (OL).

Josh Bourke re-signed with Montreal this morning. One of, if not, the best LT in the league. Kyries Hebert, Martin Bédard, and Sean Whyte have also re-signed.

EDIT: Farhan Lalji says its a done with Nick Moore going to Winnipeg. He signed a one year deal.

[Cheese]

wow Moore better hope that the BBs trade for Glenn. I dont think he will see the ball much otherwise.

[Bar-Down]

Farhan Lalji says the Stamps are in the mix for DB Josh Bell.

Would be a good signing since we lost Chris Randle, Derrius Brooks, Eric Fraser so far this offseason.

[Bar-Down]

Craig Butler signs in Hamilton.

Lot of losses for the Riders this offseason:

Dressler (NFL), Butler (Ti-cats), Newman (bombers), Alex Hall (possible NFL), Kory Sheets (Possible NFL), Keith Shologan (Ottawa)

[tvp2003]

Moore to Winnipeg? Must have been offered a pretty nice pay day (one year deal).

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Winnipeg is having a pretty nice day

They only signed Moore didn't they?

[M*A*S*H 4077]

^^They signed Kohlert back from Ottawa and signed Newman.

[tvp2003]

Moore signed a two year deal worth a minimum of $175k per season. Cha-ching!

This has been a pretty entertaining free agent frenzy. Kind of reminds me of the NHL trade deadline day with all the deals/trades. A ton of signings and movement today. Should be an excellent season, can't wait for July!

[dash_pinched]

FarhanLaljiTSN: Both the #Stamps & #REDBLACKS have offered DB Josh Bell more than #BCLions. I expect him to rejoin Rich Stubler in Calgary soon. #CFLFA14

Get 'er done Huff.

Winnipeg also traded for DB Chris Randle's right from the Stamps. Bombers' problem is their QB. Is Drew Willy good enough to start for Winnipeg? I think they should trade for Kevin Glenn in case Willy falters early in the season. They cannot afford a slow start this season.
