Oh well On to the next WR :frowning:

That to much Money for 1 Year $115,000 ..

Calgary is out of their mind dropping $115,000 for one year. Thank God we didn't get into a bidding war. Way too much for Geroy's former sidekick

Maybe Stamps will Cut one these guys now

Forgot Copeland but agree they will have to cut one or two.

I dont think you can talk to players if they are still under contract. Thats why BC gave us permission. Did they give Calgary permission too?

After doing exhaustive research on your behalf, whoknows.

I found the link in the 1st post
brought me to this statement. :roll:

'While the free agency period in the [CFL]
does not begin until Thursday at midnight,

the B.C. Lions had given the Stampeders
permission to talk to the six-year CFL veteran.

The deal is expected to be announced Thursday.

Thanks in advance for your appreciation.

Unfortunately, you receive a D-
on your reasearch report

and by the way, now I know how
you earned the nickname 'whoknows' :wink:

My vote is Elijah Thurmon will be cut, had a pretty bad season, dropped passes he should have caught, but jeez, Isnt this illegal? i think the CFL should put in place a rule that states A single team cannot sign/trade for every talented reciever in the league. Nik Lewis/Copeland & now Thelwell.

They have some more talent in the reciever postion then the whole Eastern Conference put together.

I’d be more worried about Marc Boerigter then Thelwell or Copeland!

I want Rambo ..

According to the article posted here at ticats.ca

Contrary to Wednesday's circulating rumours,

Calgary has not yet signed Ryan Thelwell.

The Stamps are believed to be offering
a contract worth more than $100,000.

But no deal has been reached.

Assuming that Thelwel is signed by the Stamps you are looking at one nasty offence with Boerigter, Lewis, Copeland and Renyolds.

Hank must still be smiling :smiley:

The signing of Thelwell will not force Calgary to drop an import receiver, or non-import Ralph.
They just got a whole lot stronger.
Great signing by them!
1 year, no risk.
For those who think that it is too much money, I think it is close to our signing of Ralph last year.
