The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced Sunday that the football club has acquired an eighth round pick in the 2019 Canadian Football League Draft from the Toronto Argonauts in exchange for international defensive back Abdul Kanneh.
The only good thing about this is it saves us around $170K++ off the Cap
Abdul Kanneh a prime DB and former all star to our biggest rivals the Argos for an 8th round pick aka for free. Yet another give away for Tillman in a few short months, who is eager to steal the title of worst GM from Kavis Reed
I'm sure that it was either trade him or release him. At least we got a draft pick, and shaved a (reported) $170k from the cap.
As Grover said in another thread, he really didn't do well here...
Injury prone, ineffective, he did nothing for us and cost a bundle.
Clears a ton of Cap for us to pick up other teams cutdowns.
Was a very expensive Austin pick up that failed
First preseason game he was bad... Got flat out beat on a lob TD, either just couldn't handle the Toronto rookie or didn't try, either way it wasn't good to see, all the other dbs looked better than him.
If he was still playing at that level then he would still have a job.
As to how “horrible” this trade is… he didn’t make the team, and was about to be released. Better an 8th round pick than nothing at all. Drew Allemang has grabbed us some great players that late in the draft before. Like Mike Daly.
