@byronparker28: Thank you to all of the fans of Montreal. Just found out that I am now a FREE AGENT. Thank u also to Jim Popp and all the coaches. #CFL

hope he turn into coaching and join Oshea's crew.

He's only 32 years old. I'd expect he'll keep playing.

Obligatory "can he play QB?" Post.

I hope the timing of his release has nothing to do with the Als clearing cap space to make Burris a significant offer.

I was going to say the very same thing as a joke. I hope you were also joking....

Back to topic I wonder if the Blue would want him rather then Banks?

Parker is another player who's on the downward trend, getting slower with age (not that he was that fast to begin with) and honestly hasn't looked good at all the past couple of season's. Yet another pass................ hopefully.

Just because a player is on the downturn of their career, doesn't mean they don't have value.  We still need leaders and players who will instill confidence in the group. 

I've heard Glen Suitor say his name before, so he's probably good.

We have one thing going for us, Winnipeg is a lot closer to Calgary than Montreal. Hank has a house & lives in Calgary with his wife & kids. When he retires he says he'll remain there.

They why do people want to run Jovon Johnson out of town on a rail? It's the same situation, older veteran leader on the downslope and fans want to ship out out ASAP. Just because we don't follow other teams as closely doesn't mean the same thing doesn't happen to players on other teams. 

I thought he retired last year

he was making 400k a season in Montreal

Byron Parker? No, he wasn't. The only person making $400,000 in Montreal was AC.

I'm pretty sure he was kidding.

Considering some of the wild salary claims made here lately, are you sure?

I think that's WHY he was kidding.  LOL.

 

FYI, I heard Etienne was offered 400K to resign.

what's his Madden rating from 2009 though?

Of the two vet dbs we've talked about, I'd much rather have Banks.

IF we need that vet presence and IF we are considering signing one of these archaic DB/OLB's then yup. Banks gets my vote as he would be a better nose tackle in etch's defense then Parker

Parker's even worse than Jovon

Only $400,000? I hear A.C. made $3,500,000 plus kickbacks from the construction industry.

Which is why Montreal can throw lots of cash at Burris, if they want to.

Bo Bowling was near the half million mark also! He got a bonus for each time Rod Black said his name!

While Parker would be another guy that would come in and add leadership, I'm not crazy about the idea of potentially bringing in someone who can't and is too slow to play man coverage. He did flourish with zone defense under Stubler though, but that was quite a few years ago.
