@CFL_News: .@sportscage - "I'm willing to bet this that Sheets signs w/ #Bombers. They're deficient at tailback & R looking to make a splash" #CFL

I'd take that bet.

Ya I can't see it either.

Can't see the need for Sheets here.

 

MAYBE he can carve out a role as a change of pace back. He's got reliable enough hands, but he isn't different enough from Cotton to warrant it here. It's not like he's a Stef Logan type who extended his career by becoming a complimentary back.

@PentonKirk: The #Alouettes have scooped up running back-returner Stefan Logan. #CFL

If Sheets comes here he will be the primary back, he's proven.

He's a 30 year old RB coming off a major injury, especially serious for RBs. No thanks.

Not anymore he's not. And that's what the concern is.

 

He's a 30 year running back who played VERY well in his last stint in pro ball. But he's coming off a torn Achilles (which does heal strong) and he hasn't played ball in a year after being in NFL shape instead of CFL shape.

 

If that's proven, I don't know what unproven is.

I don't see us going after sheets. Riders might but doubt highly that we do. Would i complain if we did? Not really cuz the more competition the better but i just don't see it happening. 

I'd take Sheets in a second.  He's a difference maker in the CFL.

FYP.

I would love to see Sheets here. Maybe he has lost a step but maybe he could also be dominant. He's shown what he can do, he is worth the risk, IMO.

He only gets paid if he makes the team. Worth the risk IMO. I think Curran would be a bigger "splash" personally.

Rbs are dime a dozen, spend the money elsewhere

he was hurt in late aug or early sept, , i am guessing it takes 12 months to come back , so he would be able to play the last 9-10 games in the cfl, 

I find it funny how a "name" made in seasons (sometimes many seasons) past can still trigger the we gotta sign him crowd. While I agree, the gamble is low.. He won't come cheap and he is damaged goods. I don't see us as needing to gamble like that as our running game isn't a focal point of the offence. If we were realllllly wanting to go run heavy then I'd bring him in and cut him if it didn't work out but realistically, we need a decent RB who can block and catch.. We don't need an all-star who will command big bucks and lotsa touches..

I think Sheets will be looking for starter money and starter playing time.... once he realizes no team will be paying that... his demands will likely go down... 

The best way to improve the running game is to improve the offensive line rather than paying an older injured runningback. Good news is that Kyle Walters seems to agree with that sentiment.

Technically Sheets is still under contract with Oakland as of today. NFL free agency will start tomorrow I believe.

@PentonKirk: Shomari Williams being courted by #Argos, #Eskimos, #Stampeders and #Riders, who want him at a lower cost. #CFL

@PentonKirk: @garrettbillan1 Talked to Curran last week. He's prepared to wait for an NFL chance. Grant has a couple offers, but obviously wants more.

@PentonKirk: @garrettbillan1 It sounds like Grant will be staying in the East Division. That's the impression I got.

@sportscage: Corey Chamblin tells the SportsCage there were "character issues" with Kory Sheets around his departure from SK

Coupled with character issues comment coming from coaches now.... Another reason to not get into mix..

Probably anal aperture issues.

aperture - hole

 

Personally I think Chamblin is just being Chamblin. If he has a problem with a player's "character issues" then why is Taj Smith still on their roster.
