Pretty good bonus for an unwanted 37 year old player, Wilder must be turning purple to see all this cash splashing about all around him.

Hebert was signed within hours of his release. That tells me he was still wanted. 

Kyris had over 100 tackles last season, the guys still got juice left in the tank.

Not that he wouldnt have been signed anyway but it happened so quickly because he was previously given permission to talk to other teams.

Also, it was his most recent DC, now with the team that just signed him, that wanted him so badly.

That fear factor and experience over the middle - can't overstate what that adds to a D.

That would be something like deep frying a ribeye

Nope - just let Loffler play more like an actual safety.

I think that the idea of "fear factor" is that it's supposed to be the other team that's afraid...

 

Hughes gets an extension... and likely a paycut...

What!  We lost Kyle Knox!

Good.

Lucky him...  Gets a paycut in exchange for a non-guaranteed extension of term

Making room to sign Muamba.

I have had a revelation: the rodents are referred to as gophers in Saskatchewan because words of more than 6 characters confuse and frighten the residents there.

Two semi interesting league notes today... 

-ESPN apparently is really pushing the CFL to move the schedule up even further into spring, I assume so it overlaps less with their primary concern, the NFL. 

-The league will be announcing 10 neg list names for each team later today. Why this is of any concern, I have no idea, but they seem to think it's a big deal....

someone needs to explain to the folks down south that "Spring" in Canada doesn't mean what they think it means 

 

3 weeks earlier is fine but ESPN needs to shut the heck up unless they come with serious $

Probably to give fans something more to talk about in the long off season. I'd like to know which college and NFL players I should be keeping a closer eye on.

but the problem is the neg lists are so fluid those players might get dropped the next day.
