Kris Sweet hired as the OL coach in Edmonton. Can TSN have a show following Edmonton this season? With guys like Kris Sweet, Greg Marshall, and Kavis Reed on the sidelines it could make them the most entertaining team in the league to watch.

Fred Stamps re-signs in Edmonton

Romby Bryant signs in ArgoLand

"It's rare to find a veteran receiver that is as gifted and versatile as Romby Bryant," Argos general manager Jim Barker said in a statement. "He does all of the little things that don't necessarily show up on the stats sheet.

Herb Zurkowsky:

A source has told me Dan Hawkins will be named #Als' new head coach. Mike Miller will be his offensive co-ordinator.

Moe Khan:

DanHawkins went 19-39 with the #Buffaloes and went to the #IndependenceBowl. #Alouettes #CFL #Pac12

But #DanHawkins at #BoiseState is where his real success came as he compiled a record of 37-3. #Alouettes #CFL

He also he went 40–11–1 at Willamette University (NCAA Division II) before that.

So Zabranski and Dinwiddie on the way to Montreal?

[OzSome]

Pretty interesting if the rumour about Dan Hawkins and Mike Miller going to coach the Als is true. I guess Pope wants to know if his magic in finding talented coaches with no CFL experience will work again. I kind of like it though so we see some fresh bloods in coaching staff in the CFL rather than seeing re-thread coaches popping up everywhere. It'll just make it exciting I think.

Odell Willis signs in Edmonton.

[Drake]

Got be moving to a 3-4?

BREAKING - #Lions have agreed to terms on a contract with LB Solomon Elimimian.

Elimimian gets 1 year deal plus an option - gets huge raise and stays and play where he wanted to stay all along.

Never seen Buono buck up financially for a player like he did today for Elimimian. Triples his salary.

Move Bighill to Will backer and Elimimian in the middle.

Two best linebackers in the league on the same team. Must be nice

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Dwight Anderson heading to Saskatchewan?

Move him back to corner and he should be okay. He was bad at HB in Montreal. I don't like the move but he should be able to get under the skin of a bunch of his former teammates.

LOL. Best signing so far today. I remember when this POS poked Weston Dressler's eye. I believe he beat up a women in Regina too? Lastly, I guess they needed someone to replace all of Odell's penalties...

This is going to be hilarious.

Jovan Olafioye re-signed with BC this afternoon. About the only other "big name" that hit free agency this morning that hadn't signed until this afternoon..

[Drake]

Dan Hawkins confirmed as the new coach in Montreal.

Rick Moffat:

#Alouettes confirm new head coach Tues. 11AM. Sources continue to say Dan #Hawkins. @CoachHawk

Ricky Foley has signed with Sask. Not "Rickey" ... Excuse my spelling error. #cfl #riders

And Kuale signed in Montreal http://www.cfl.ca/article/alouettes-...an-ejiro-kuale

[Da_Chief]

Honest question, do you think the Riders are still under the cap? they spent decent coin last off-season and here they go again with Ricky Foley, Dwight Anderson, Tristan Black, Weldon Brown, Geroy Simon? plus all their own re-signings.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Well out of the guys you mentioned I would imagine that only Foley and Simon are making big bucks (and Simon did restructure his deal). But yes, I'd be a little surprised if they were under the cap right now. Does the CFL enforce the cap year round or is there some off season leniency? I have no clue

[moon]

More importantly how is a fanbase that is always so high and mighty about other guys having jerks on their team going to deal with having two of the biggest jerks in the league on their team now?

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Stamps fans would know, having employed Anderson, Browner, and still having Lewis around

Seriously though, there is just about nothing that Anderson can do this season to make me like him. Pick 6 in overtime to win the Grey Cup is probably his only chance. That said, I look forward to him hopefully making receivers across the league lose their composure and be more worried about yapping at him than catching footballs.
