I hope Coach A and Scout T look at some of the RB talent from the no fun league cuts. The other teams are definitely upgrading and bringing in other players. :cowboy:

That’s my hope as well Catfish an olineman is also on the wish list. I’m stating the obvious by saying we certainly have talent at those spots already it just would be nice to see that talent play every week

Great response to a very off topic post by Ryan. Reading his posts over the last little while it seems to me like he thinks he’s funny and I ignore responding to his ill thought out comments. Most are not funny and a little childish in nature.
Thanks for such a well thought out response not often read on this forum.

Lenny I have to apologize for a post I made to you in the Stats thread I started. I shouldn’t have posted that, I still believe you are an asshat I just shouldn’t of posted it.

I am sorry.

Please explain asshat as I'm not familiar with is term. Would be nice to understand any insults thrown at me so I can ignore them intelligently and truly understand if your apology is sincere.
Anxiously awaiting your response.
Thank you in advance

Has there ever been a NFL cut, that hasn’t had CFL experience, ever make an impact coming north to play?

Lets see pretty much every American on every CFL team.

Here is one for example Simoni Lawrence

St. Louis Rams

He was signed by the St. Louis Rams as an undrafted free agent on April 26, 2010, but was released one month later.

Hartford Colonials/Philadelphia Eagles

Lawrence was then drafted by the Hartford Colonials 22nd overall in the 2010 UFL Draft on June 2, 2010, but signed with the Philadelphia Eagles on June 8. He was part of the Eagles’ final cuts on August 28 and joined the Colonials instead, playing in eight games for the team.

Chicago Bears

After the conclusion of the 2010 UFL season, he signed with the Chicago Bears on December 14, 2010 and spent three weeks on the team’s practice roster.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

He then joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on December 30, 2010 and participated in the team’s training camp for the 2011 season. However, he was released on September 3, 2011.

Las Vegas Locomotives

Lawrence played in the UFL for the Las Vegas Locomotives in 2011.

Edmonton Eskimos

Lawrence signed with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League on January 10, 2012, playing in 15 games and starting one. Over the course of the season Lawernce contributed 15 tackles, 11 special teams tackles and 1 fumble recovery.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats

During the following off-season, he was traded to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats with Greg Wojt and Jeremiah Masoli for Nathan Kanya and the rights to Carson Rockhill on February 5, 2013. In his first season with the Ti-Cats Lawrence made an immediate impact, amassing 53 tackles, 3 special teams tackles, 1 quarterback sack, and 3 interceptions.

Minnesota Vikings

On February 10, 2014, Lawrence signed with the Minnesota Vikings. He was released on May 13, 2014.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats

He re-signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to a three-year contract on June 1, 2014. Lawrence played in 16 of the 18 regular season games, and both playoff games en-route to the team’s second consecutive trip to the Grey Cup (the Ti-Cats lost both championship appearances). He led the team in tackles in that season, with 78; while adding 3 sacks, 2 interceptions and 1 fumble recovery.

Not sure why you didn’t bother to explain yourself, but here’s what I think you meant to say:

Has there ever been a NFL cut, that hasn’t had CFL experience, who joined a CFL team mid-season and made an impact in that same season?

That would be a more interesting discussion. I’m sure the answer is yes, I just don’t have any examples that come to mind.

Hi ExPat

I don't want to speak for ED but the thread is about September cuts. I don't think he needed to expand on his question.

@"dawg eats kitty"

uh no…considering just about all the imports were either cut…released…or unsigned …or not even considered (not drafted) by the NFL

now if your just talking these 3rd and 4th string players that were cut maybe i dont follow players that closely but there has been ALOT of American players that have not had any CFL experience come up there and make impacts

It was actually a serious question because I couldn’t off the top of my head think of any other than those that had CFL experience, was cut and returned to the CFL. Over the weekend I remembered two Luke Tasker and Samuel Giguerre, but neither made an impact right away. Both had to go through a training camp to really show what they had.

They way I see it, there is no real benefit to NFL cuts except as injury replacements and potential future development. Of course I could be completely wrong on this, and there may have been a lot players come in without the benefit of a CFL training camp and make an impact.
