Posted May 11, 201510 yr comment_118718 CFL ✔ @CFL TRADE! The @EdmontonEsks have acquire SB Cory Watson and a 2nd round pick for LS Jorgen Hus and a 3rd rounder. (Both picks 2016) #CFL
May 11, 201510 yr comment_118720 So why do they have to add to the trade to be able to get a long snapper for Watson? After they traded a 2nd round pick for him... Is this guy coming from Edmonton supposed to be really good?

Is this guy coming from Edmonton supposed to be really good? He also punts / placekicks the ball after snapping it to himself .. it's a sight to behold.
May 11, 201510 yr comment_118726 This honestly has the makings of being the worst trade I've seen in a long, long time.
May 11, 201510 yr comment_118727 Increases the probability that the Riders are picking a "skill" guy at 6.
May 11, 201510 yr comment_118729 Increases the probability that the Riders are picking a "skill" guy at 6. Likewise the probability of trading that guy to the Bombers for the rights to Wade Miller's son.
May 11, 201510 yr comment_118730 I have to agree with Mike....has Taman regressed to the time he left here and said he was burnt out...lol...Giving up on Watson before he even played a down....what the hell is that...Draft pics and Taman seem not to be a good fit AND we seen plenty of that here...Unless there is something else connected to this trade that we don't know about....wow...this one smells to high heaven..
May 11, 201510 yr comment_118731 While Taman is still dizzy, maybe we can get their #6 for Bilukidi's or Mulumba's rights.
May 11, 201510 yr comment_118732 Gave us a 2nd round pick and a NI receiver for Watson and a 3rd round pick then traded him and a 2nd round pick for a 3rd round pick in less deep draft to get a long snapper? I don't usually LOL at Taman like a bunch of you, but what a horrible trade for the Riders.
May 11, 201510 yr comment_118734 Considering what they moved to bring him in and what they brought in to move him out without him ever catching a pass, this does not seem like the finest chapter in Taman's trade bio. ^^^ what Tburg said
May 11, 201510 yr comment_118742 I got a feeling that Edmonton will move Watson again to add more picks. Probably to the Cats or Als for a 3rd or 4th rounder.
May 11, 201510 yr comment_118743 So essentially they turned their 2nd rounders this year and next year into 3rd rounders and traded Bastien for Jorgen Hus.
May 11, 201510 yr comment_118745 The irony in all of this? The pick that Edmonton used to take Hus in 2013 was originally Saskatchewan's. And they dealt it in another awful trade (4th rounder + Matt O'Donnell for Greg Carr + 5th rounder)
May 11, 201510 yr comment_118749 Increases the probability that the Riders are picking a "skill" guy at 6. Or going with an International at SB? Or maybe Watson didn't want to report to Sask's camp? He seemed lukewarm ... probably wanted to go home to Mtl.
May 11, 201510 yr comment_118750 Hahaha this made my day. Also for some reason I have Hus blocked on Twitter?!
May 11, 201510 yr comment_118751 With the addition of Watson, Edmonton now has 7 National REC - Bailey, Barrett, Chambers, Coehorn, Foster, Jackson and Watson. I think someone has to move unless they are planning to start 3 National REC. Will they trade up (to draft an OL) by giving up their #7, 1 of their REC and a later pick ?

I think someone has to move unless they are planning to start 3 National REC. Will they trade up (to draft an OL) by giving up their #7, 1 of their REC and a later pick ? Or they just have depth. Barrett is a project, Jackson is pretty much toast, Foster sucks and Chambers/Watson are injury concerns.
May 11, 201510 yr comment_118758 Wait I'm still trying to wrap my head around this... Sask traded away the better player and the better draft pick?? I think someone already summarized this... but they essentially traded 2015 2nd, 2016 2nd, and Kris Bastien for a 2015 3rd, 2016 3rd and Jurgen Hus... Nothing against Hus, but this doesn't seem like good roster management to me... even if Bastien and Hus are a wash, they traded down in both years... confusing
May 11, 201510 yr comment_118759 I immediately just jumped over to riderfans to read the reaction... it's fun
May 11, 201510 yr comment_118761 This is just another step in the direction the riders where bound to go once they signed Taman.
