Yeah i think best case scenario is bring back Greenwood for 1 year and let Williams learn under him.

Holley wont be here beyond this season, if there is one, and LB will actually be a need if they dont address it this year.

And having that Canadian LB is just such a great ratio breaker, it just makes to much sense not to take him.

Definitely want Williams. To have him be a non-import LB makes it all the better.

I also think there's always a possibility of Singleton ending up back in the Red and Black at some point, and a Canadian linebacking core with Singleton and Williams would be terrifying.

Stamps Trade: Pick 1 & Pick 15
#BCLions Trade: Pick 3 & Pick 12

Move down 2 in the 1st round to move up 3 in the second round.

Do not like.

That doesn’t seem like a very good deal. Move from 1 to 3 just so you can move up three spots in the second round?

I know the CFL draft isn’t like other drafts but why not just pick your guy at one? Salary cap issues?

I wonder if this is some sort of sign that Huf may have an idea the Singleton is returning?

Otherwise...i don't get it.

Why would Singleton go back to the CFL? He finally cracked the Eagles active roster last year, so I can’t see him giving that up to play here...

Doesn't mean he is starting this year....but obviously if he is on the roster he wont be back.

I was just spitballin.

Adeyemi-Berglund is the 18th DLine the Stamps have on their roster now.

I took it more as meaning if he's a training camp casualty with the Eagles and can't land anywhere else in the NFL, he could come back to Calgary. His roster spot is far from secure, as a backup player.

He'd be a CFL FA though if that happens. I'd be so steamed if he did get cut, then just signs in Saskatchewan or something.

EDIT: Ugh we traded down?? Why??? Yeah the return was definitely not worth it. If that trade happened in the NFL last weekend, social media would be exploding right now

Fair enough — I saw it mentioned a couple of times on here, but hadn’t read anything else suggesting it might happen.

I think his GF is from Calgary so hopefully that means we’d be first in line (it sounds like he really likes Calgary as well).

If you see his twitter stuff through the year...you would think he is still a Stampeder. Talks to and about "his guys" all the time.

This is just me talking, but it's hard not to look at any move the Stamps make with linebackers are wonder how Alex Singleton might play into their longterm plans
If they think he could come back in the next couple years, drafting a Canadian linebacker No. 1 might not make sense
Kind of what i was spitballin about.

Also, the Eagles drafted 2 LB's last week, so there is that as well.

That's the only reason I think I can handle about what just happened, barring an impending big trade we don't know about. Singleton best be coming back now lol

OL Ketel Asse is sliding a bit.

Need a guy named Asse on the Stamps!
