A.C. Leonard is a very good player, he has the versatility of being a good pass rusher as well as dropping back into coverage on passing plays (e.g. covering a RB or TE).

Maybe I was thinking of someone else.

Man just want Thurman back, we could have a real good defence as long as they fix the playbook.

Lots of talented pieces.

Looks like the Als are a gongshow.

With ownership disarray, no team president and key players unsigned, GM Danny Maciocia's hands appear to be tied heading into free agency.

You hate to hear this. It's the last thing the league needs.

2 hours until teams can talk to free agents. Still no Thurman for the Stamps. I would love it if they could sign Demski or Lewis. Just not sure how much money they have to play with.

No Thurman or Ormilade yet. Would suck to lose both.

For ufa receiver I’m thinking Derrell Walker might be the option for the Stamps. He still has some years left and esks don’t really want him back. Definitely not worth his previous contracts but could be a sneaky add to Reggie, Henry, Philpot, Hakanavanhu.

Not just no Ormilade or Thurman but also no Lemon.

That is a huge part of a [retty good D that is still out there.

I trust Huf and DD a bunch when it comes to finding guys, but those are really hard pieces to replace.

As for WR....all kinds of guys still unsigned.

Lawler, Lewis....even that White guy out ot Tiger Cat land

Meanwhile, the Argos (aka Stamps East) continue the tradition...

I get the feeling the Riders are going to go hard after Thurman.

It will be interesting to see how free agency goes with Dickenson having more input. Huff largely stayed away from veteran receivers.

Lots of rumours that the Riders are going to go hard after Trevor Harris as well. Probably can't afford both.

I'm fine with that. His career record against the Stamps is terrible and he's going to be 37 at the start of the season and doesn't have a lot of arm strength at this stage of his career.

I wonder if they are going to be spending money on the offensive side this offseason. We hardly splash into that side of the ball and our receivers struggled to get open last season. The last big offensive signing I can remember was MacEwan.

We need some size its one of the things I noticed with BC DB's able to just smoke our guys because of the size difference.

Would people be okay with bringing Ja'Gared Davis back to Calgary if Thurman signs with other team? Davis has yet to miss a Grey Cup game since he's been in the league.

Justin Dunk of 3 down nation says the Riders have made a strong offer to Trevor Harris.

It says multi-year offer as well - The Riders know he's turning 37 at the end of May, right?
