Winnipeg has also traded their fourth round pick in the 2018 CFL Draft to Montreal in exchange for quarterback Kevin Glenn. “The opportunity to acquire a first round pick next year along with a player we have really liked this season in TJ Heath, and an experienced quarterback in Kevin Glenn was something we needed to strongly evaluate,” said General Manager Kyle Walters. “Ultimately, for a variety of factors, we felt this was the right move for our football team, both short and long term. We sincerely thank Drew Willy for his hard work, professionalism and dedication to our program over the past two plus seasons.” Heath (6-0, 190, Jacksonville State, September 11, 1987 in Alexandria, AL) is in his first CFL season, having played in ten games (nine starts) at halfback for Toronto. Heath has recorded a team-high four interceptions and 32 defensive tackles with the Argos. He signed with Toronto in May 2016 after stints in the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins and New York Giants over the last five seasons. In four seasons at Jacksonville State, he had 145 tackles, 17.5 tackles for a loss, 10 interceptions (three of which were returned for touchdowns), three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, two blocked kicks and 25 pass breakups. Glenn (5-10, 205, Illinois State, June 12, 1979 in Detroit, MI) is a veteran of 16 CFL seasons. He has started nine games with Montreal this season, completing 222 of his 314 passes for 2,547 yards and 13 touchdowns. Throughout his career, Glenn has played 250 games, throwing for 48,766 yards and 270 touchdowns. He has led two teams to Grey Cup appearances, including one with Winnipeg in 2007. Glenn sits third on the Bombers all-time passing yardage list at 18,116 and fifth on the club’s all-time passing touchdowns list. He led the club in passing for five straight seasons (2004-2008), and was the East Division Most Outstanding Player in 2007.
September 12, 20168 yr comment_222633 I knew Kevin Glenn would be crawling back. But the big question is, how many times will he get to play this season?
September 12, 20168 yr comment_222634 So Glenn was an Argo for another 3 minutes? Edited September 12, 20168 yr by ALuCsRED
September 12, 20168 yr Author comment_222635 So we get a first and a third, and a potential allstar DB for Willy, Pretty stellar return, IMO.
September 12, 20168 yr comment_222637 decent, unload the salary, get a baller in Heath, insurance in Glenn and a 1st rounder next year (+2018) I like it
September 12, 20168 yr comment_222638 Wow Heath just had a huge game for TO. 7 tackles and 2 interceptions!
September 12, 20168 yr comment_222639 Never thought we'd get that much for Willy. Sure going to be interesting if he plays for TO next week. Nice to have Glenn for insurance.
September 12, 20168 yr comment_222641 Prediction: Matt Nichols breaks his arm in the western final, Glenn says, "time for some unfinished business", and leads the Bomber's to a Grey Cup win!
September 12, 20168 yr comment_222642 Probably good for Drew Willy and for Bombers to part company. Heath looked great for Argos today vs TiCats and KG a veteran QB behind Nichols. Good all around.
September 12, 20168 yr comment_222643 Neat Just now, iHeart said: which reminds me, how well are the argos doing this year? http://www.cfl.ca/standings/
September 12, 20168 yr comment_222646 All things considered, I think we made out like bandits on this deal ...
September 12, 20168 yr comment_222647 I am glad to have Glenn back and a big stinky poop to anyone who says otherwise.
September 12, 20168 yr comment_222649 This went as good as anybody could expect, nice haul for Willy he was done here anyways and Glenn is a more than capable spot starter now
