“He will be ready to pick off Jay “Interception Machine” Cutler.”

Wait’ll they tell him he gets to cover Marshall, CJ, and Cobb six times a year.

I think it is silly how CFL signings make the news. A CFL all-star is no different than any practice squad chump on any NFL roster in terms of talent and potential. Their league is vastly less competitive than the NFL.

I’d like to know the percentage of former CFL players that are signed to the NFL that ever start more than 8 games in the NFL. It is probably lower than undrafted FA’s.

And you are an authority because of your how many years in the NFL? I’m sure these teams know far better than you ever will what they’re doing.
And how about quality over quantity? Does the name Warren Moon ring a bell?
Now back to your regularly scheduled meaningless existence.

That would be a shame as he’s my favorite player, but such is business.

Usually they go East of the border.
