GA Russell Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 The Argos have signed former Ticat free agent Jonathan Hood, a defensive back. Considering how bad the Hamilton defense was last year, I'm not sure what promise he offers. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=418629 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) The Lions have traded Khalif Mitchell to the Argos for Adrian Awasom and the rights to a neg list player. It never looks good when two teams owned by the same man exchange players; and when the trade involves an all-star, I think it looks even worse. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=419700 Edited April 3, 2013 by GA Russell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Chris Williams wants to pursue NFL opportunities. He signed a two-year plus an option deal last year. The CBA requires each team to offer rookies a one-year plus option deal. So Williams is claiming that the Ticats never made the one-year offer, and that his contract should be voided. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=419896 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 The league held its draft last week immediately after the NFL's draft. Traditionally, the CFL would hold its draft first because its training camps open earlier. However, teams were reluctant to spend first round picks on good prospects who might get drafted by and sign with the NFL, so they decided to wait until everyone, teams and players both, knew what the situation was vis a vis the NFL. The Ticats had the first pick, and chose a DT named Linden Gaydosh. Today it was announced that he has signed with Carolina as an undrafted free agent. However, apparently he did not receive a signing bonus, so the chances are slim that the Panthers will keep him. Here are the draft results: http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/feature/?id=94440 Here is the story on Gaydosh: http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=423024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
