The Als have cut him, probably salary cap reasons. Venable - Woods - Ball. That would suit me just fine.

In a heartbeat. I hope he's on his way here right now.
Yes definitely! Was just posting about this in the Alouettes Thread.
How nice would that be! I hope it happens.
No not according to Kavis Read, it was football related:

Kavis Reed tells me #Als had enough cap room for Woods' salary & never asked him to renegotiate. Decision was football based

Seems like a very strange or iffy move by Mavis Reed there.
But, if Bear comes to Toronto - thanks a lot for the free gift for a big area of Argo need.
We agree again! Too much talent on defensive all of a sudden. Timing could come any better.
[QUOTE=AngeloV;110672]I take that as Reed putting a media spin on it. There is no way they would make that decision just as camp starts.[/QUOTE
Woods must had a really poor first practice!
If it makes the defence better, yes please.
Yep - said he was over-rated in his early Als days; still think he is, a bit anyways; but improved lots as a CFL MLB over time - makes D plays lots, and an experienced guy who is maybe a huge improvement over anything the Argos have now? Big area of Argo need - bring him on; and if he was cut by the Als for non-monetary reasons mostly - as Mavis is blowing smoke - maybe the Argos find out in TC he has slipped or lost a step or is damaged = then he gets cut ? Seemed pretty good just last season for the Als though IMO. Be real interesting to see who they replace him with - likely a younger, much cheaper new import they have signed?; they also signed Plesius and he would be cheaper too, and maybe Mavis wants MLB to be one of their 7 only NI spots ?
If he signs, our linebackers will be set.
Woods "flew to Toronto" according to Justin Dunk. Still it's not a slam dunk as Toronto is a hub for connections to elsewhere.
Yeah, it's definitely too soon to slam Dunk for this report. ;)
I seriously doubt that he was referring to a connection in YYZ.
