Cui certainly looked like a good candidate on paper, and he talked a good game as well. Some of the moves he made might pay off in the long run although my sense is that the market has turned not...

Fans seem to be rushing on social media to condemn the Elks for this. Maybe condemnation will turn out to be justified, but no one has yet provided a credible, sourced report about what happened. I'd...

I wish I could agree, but I'm deeply concerned that the league seems to be unable to find and develop good QB prospects. The only guys new to the league who have excelled in the past half-dozen...

I'm on record as thinking Cornelius is starting to "get it," but this game did not do much to support that notion.

In week 1, two out of eight starting quarterbacks looked good; six looked...

Nice of Jones to re-sign Litre, then cut him a month later. Maybe he should come here to replace Cross.

Right now, there is no need for Collins or another experienced DB. Priester is able to back up at least some of the positions. But if we were to lose either Peters or McFadden to injury, I'd be...

From a second + Chad Kelly to a fourth -- his stock has really fallen since we traded him.

There are counter arguments to be made for each individual case -- Worthy had plenty of chances here, Pipkin had less upside than Kelly, Collins and Decoud wouldn't want to be spare parts after...

Right -- so they like two guys who haven't even dressed better than a guy who might be the league's best kick returner. That's precisely my point about bad personnel decisions. I hope for the best...

Wow, Arbuckle is really out of favour in Edmonton. Elks going with...

It has nothing to do with how Edm is playing. If we were to lose Peters or McFadden to an injury, I'd rather be able to plug in an experienced corner (like Collins or Decoud) than an untested rookie...

Perhaps not often, but I'm sure it has happened before. Clearly we disagree. IMO a team in position to challenge for a championship should try to field the strongest possible lineup, including...

OK, so we are now down to one established starter who could not be retained because he would not have stood for being a backup. Maybe that's why Collins was let go (although he did not become a...

Of course that's what they decided. And were they correct? Some of the receivers they kept over Worthy are now gone, and none of them have made an impact. Unless Wright becomes an outstanding...

I just think there is no good reason for a team with Grey Cup aspirations to voluntarily forgo depth. None of the guys let go was an established starter, and at least two of them (Pipkin and Worthy)...

Charleston Hughes begs to differ. (I'm sure we could both find more examples either way, of course.)

If we are (and I'd personally still prefer to have those four guys, or at least a couple of them), should we also stop complaining about the players released and now on the Lions and Als rosters?

I'd like Elk, for the same reasons espoused by OV.

Parker had a longer, more dominant career with the Lions than the Eskimos, did he not?

I agree re Moon over Ray. Altho TSN selected Moon as a "foundational" player, something they likely could...

With Danny O'Brien being cut, ex-Argo Logan Kilgore has apparently won the backup QB job in Edmonton.

IMO Woods is a project, similar to where Sackey was after Year 1. He might develop into a good player but he also might become a Mark Moroz or Matt Sewell -- great size but no stomach for playing....

$2.1M in profit is great. But the Esks' attendance actually went DOWN, to just over 30,000, so not sure why we'd salute him for his vision of 40,000.
