Meanwhile, Sportsnet.ca has learned that the Hamilton Tiger-Cats are expected to sign Winnipeg offensive tackle Alexandre Gauthier and re-sign running back Jesse Lumsden.
That's a good find threeminutewarning, this is always a really confusing time right before the opening of free agency but for 2 different sports broadcasters to report 2 different things on the same player is really weird.
Where ever Jesse ends up, whether he is in Edmonton or Hamilton I wish him the best, and still hope he fulfills his dream of playing a full season.
This is confusing though. I wonder if this might turn into a situation like with Richard Karikari a few years ago with MTL and WPG where he verbally agreed with both teams but then signed in Montreal if I remember correctly. Makes for some interesting discussion though.
WOW. very interesting, two different sources reporting two different things. i think i trust TSN a litte more than sportsnet but i guess we'll find out soon.
I have as well but there are a few sites saying the same thing so its possible we missed something... Maybe it was on TSN5 or however many channels they have now.
Maybe a source close to Lumsden jumped the gun in telling TSN that Edmonton has offered Jesse a contract. Then maybe Lumsden took that offer to OBIE and we matched the offer and then this source broke the news that Hamilton has matched the contract offer from Edmonton?
