The CFL withholding bonuses which were already earned was as low of a move as possible. That’s a low move in a league where a lot of players barely make ends meat.

Agreed, I've lost a lot of respect for the CFL as a league over this, I've met a ton of players, and these guys aren't millionaires, they're chasing a dream, or extending playing time, and I stand pretty firmly with them

Total bush league move by a league looking to become more big time. I'd expect this from the AAF or XFL, not the CFL. How this gets resolved will affect how much time and money I commit to this league going forward.

I love the CFL but some of the owners need to be jettisoned into space as some of them don't understand the "professional" part of owning a professional football team. The way they treat their players, cheat on each other by hiring coaches while they are still under contract with other teams, continually break rules they created for themselves to follow, can't get their officiating in order, etc. Such a bush league at times.

TSN reports the Lions will release Elimimian.

I remember the Lions were looking to trade him earlier in the year. Guess nobody wanted to pay his current salary

He's lost a step and isn't as effective as he used to be. He still has value but he's going to have to accept a reduced salary.

The #Stamps have signed international receivers Aaron Peck, Christian Gibbs, Daniel Braverman, and Shay Fields
Who wants to bet that Huf finds Dickenson a gem out of this group?

Well, as we found out last season, you can never have enough good receivers. More worried about the defense to be honest, there are some big holes that need to be filled. As always, In Huf we trust.

Braverman looks like a young Weston Dressler in this highlights package.

I also took a quick look at some Shay Fields highlights and he looks like a slightly taller version of Roy Finch. Here's hoping he doesn't go down the same road as Roy regardless of his football future.

Shay Fields is electric having watching him a handful of times in College. Very, very good signing there if he can translate his game to the pros.

Argos select Shane Richards (offensive lineman who played for Oklahoma State) from Calgary as the number 1 overall pick. 6'6" and 332 lbs., that's a big guy.
