Vets coming off a significant injury become a contractual liability bringing them into TC.

Not if you bring them in cheap / on an incentive-laden deal. In the cfl no one is a contractual liability with none guaranteed deals for most of the year and most of the players. If we brought in one low risk high reward vet like toliver, or chris williams or sinkfield thatd be perfect. Though I dont really expect it at this point.

It does seem like important news.

It is one thing to say he might want to play, it is another to get his signature on a contract.

He signed today.

That Eli signing is absolutely huge. Not sure why more aren’t talking about it. 

Its one of those sleeper picks, not a lot of people out side of bomber town and a couple national CFL guys are aware of what a steal he was.

    I want to see if he can ever get back in shape, some can, some can't.  He's signed up for pro ball now so it does make a difference.

    Not as big an issue for an OL imo. Plus he was more CFL sized and tried to go up prior to an NFL Push. Id bet hes pretty close to CFL size already. We will see how badly he wants it in camp. Getting the sharp edge of aggression and technique only comes with desire and work. Unless he comes in a hot mess Id be surprised if he isnt on the IR/PR this year based on his potential alone.
