November 5, 201311 yr comment_28171 Ottawa has said they won't pick Fa's but they might do one like Collloras or Muamba just for negotiating rights till Feb 15 .... so who are not FA's? I am guessing the non-FA number two QBs available are: Nichols Montreal's other two (besides Smith who they will protect I believe) Marsh or Neiswander Hamilton's scat back QB LeFevour Willie Either Tate or Levi DeMarco So who is worth trading for and with how big a draft pick? Willy and Demarco are free agents, Burris is a free agent and I would imagine Hamilton will use that to protect Dan LF, Bo Levi will be protected by Calgary and I'm pretty sure Nichols is also a FA Are you sure on Demarco? I thought he wasn't. Of all the years to desperately need a qb, we couldn't have asked for a better offseason for choices.
November 5, 201311 yr comment_28202 i thought Collaros is an FA too this off-season ? He is, same as Reilly was last season. But the thinking is we do the same thing Edmonton did with Reilly and get him over so we can work on signing him to a multi year deal.

November 5, 201311 yr comment_28214 I honestly believe anyone who thinks Ottawa isn't going to draft a FA QB if that's THEIR guy is out of touch with reality. I think Ottawa would rather have access to the NIs quite personally. I think there are enough options at qb that depending on who is available if they don't take a qb off someones roster they will trust in the ability to get a FA qb. Hell I think if Austin really is on the outs with Burris that he's the guy Ottawa will be targetting simply because he's a big name they can easily market.
November 5, 201311 yr comment_28217 Ottawa has lots of options and as I said before Glenn is an easy pick up for them.

November 5, 201311 yr Author comment_28226 So there is no need to dump a QB to the Blue because Ottawa isn't going to select any QB IN THE EXPANSION DRAFT ... NOT EVEN TATE HAVING TATE ISN'T WORTH THE SALARY CAP ROOM HE TAKES UP AND / OR A 3RD ROUND DRAFT PICK?

NOT EVEN TATE HAVING TATE ISN'T WORTH THE SALARY CAP ROOM HE TAKES UP OR A 3RD ROUND DRAFT PICK? Pretty sure Ottawa will take Kevin Glenn in the expansion draft.

Ottawa will have much qb depth no matter what way they go then the Blue has had in the last many years.

November 6, 201311 yr comment_28241 Just do what it takes to get a promising QB here. We can continue to play it safe and all that...or we can be aggressive and try and find a QB.

I can't see any sequence of events that can happen this offseason where we would have to settle for him. Not with what other options are/will be available to us.
November 6, 201311 yr comment_28267 If Tate could ever get his head on straight & stop being a headcase, I think he'd be a helluva CFL qb. The big thing is IF.

How can we find out for sure about whose contracts are about to expire? Glenn has another year on his contract. Yup. Glenn and Tate both have a year and Mitchell has 2 according to the Calgary Herald. To correct misinformation swirling out there, all three Stampeder quarterbacks are under contract for the 2014 season. Bo Levi Mitchell’s deal runs through the 2015 campaign. http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/Point+After+Edmonton+treatment+franchise+quarterback+Mike+Reilly+puzzling/9008908/story.html
