June 5, 20232 yr comment_633723 Farhan Lalji @FarhanLaljiTSN · 2m I’m told Kongbo was “not a fit in the room” & it was important for #BCLions to get back to the chemistry they had before the trade. This deal eliminates what was going back to #TiCats in the Dane Evans deal; a 4th round pick that escalates to a 3rd. @CFLonTSN
June 5, 20232 yr comment_633724 Not a FIFO guy? Maybe thats why he didnt end up back here perhaps??? Edited June 5, 20232 yr by Bubba Zanetti
June 5, 20232 yr comment_633725 so they have Boatang...Kongbo...Bennet (winnipeg kid) do they all roster or does one get cut/pr'd?...If they put Mason Bennett on PR we best be putting a claim in and make the Cats roster him
June 5, 20232 yr comment_633726 So they sign him for what we assume was a large deal and trade him because he's disrupting the locker room? Bizzare. Wonder how Hamilton can afford all those guys? Wonder if they cut anybody? I'd be offering them something for Bennett.
June 5, 20232 yr comment_633727 Man that sucks for Kongbo to be done dirty like that. Least it wasn't Ottawa I guess?

The XFL, while not having any official provision for it, has said all along they would release any player if they wanted to go to the CFL.

The nfl requires an unconditional release for the xfl guys to try out. So if they get an nfl look they are cut from the xfl deal.
June 5, 20232 yr comment_633738 Never really heard of any disruptions by Kongbo here.....our locker room seemed pretty tight....Don't think a guy turns sour over night BUT something is going on and it might not fit fifo's parameters.....Go after Bennett for sure.....someone is going to shake loose in the hammer, and it would be right up our alley if it was Bennett

I was talking about the xfl thing though. A strong locker room can keep a small amount of big egos in check. But a fifo guy also isn’t going to fit in with a crap locker room. Not sure which is which but I put my trust in kongbo. Not a team lead by vaj.

But a fifo guy also isn’t going to fit in with a crap locker room. Not sure which is which but I put my trust in kongbo. Not a team lead by vaj. For sure. I was just wondering if Kongbo was released to try NFL after XFL and that's why he was available? I realize he has been through the NFL wringer a few times now. 5 minutes ago, Stickem said: Never really heard of any disruptions by Kongbo here.....our locker room seemed pretty tight....Don't think a guy turns sour over night BUT something is going on and it might not fit fifo's parameters.....Go after Bennett for sure.....someone is going to shake loose in the hammer, and it would be right up our alley if it was Bennett If you ask me, the BC Lions signed him to way too high a contract to make sure we didn't get him and had no real intentions of keeping him. Then traded him for whatever scraps they could get. Kongbo fetching only a 4th round pick screams bad contract to me.

So he was a ufa this year late bc gave elite money now flipped him for peanuts.

Sounds like a punk move by the leo's......do anything to keep him off of our roster and a position of need...I hope to hell it backfires on them and the cats....

I think the Leo's do this quite a bit. Every year they seem to cut an offseason big signing.
