I was going to say that this was evidence we don't have much confidence in Fayson but with so few healthy guys available to catch balls, signing Mann seems wise regardless.
Not a bad move at all. With the injuries he could step in and help out.
Should we have put more consideration in keeping Romby on the roster? Though, I don't think we expected all these injuries at one time...
Speaking of adding receivers, we've also brought back Robert Gill, one of our late camp cuts.
I am sure that they would have liked to still have access to Romby but Winnipeg wasted no time picking him up. I recall at the time of his release that Barker felt that he would get picked up quickly. Bryant would not have hung around Toronto on the PR so the only other option was to IR him but he was on the IR most of last season and, I would think, wanted to play badly.
Chad Kelly + Dan Adeboboye + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force
The FA well is pretty dry this time of year until the NFL starts cutting down. Romey Bryant would have been a good replacement, maybe should have been kept around. I thought Maurice Mann was retired and had moved on in his life. Arland is still out there if he gets over his headaches.
Mann still lives here (since he helps out with the IDFL), knows the offence and isn't that old. Probably better to have him then bring in a rookie struggling to keep up.

after tonights game, maybe mann is in the lineup sooner then we think
But don't you think the real the reason Arland is suing the League is the way they dumped him. Just like a woman scorned. I don't think he would being suing anybody if a team had given him the chance to still play this season. He was stating his opinion, and because of his age and playing time probably getting near the end they jumped on him to make an example. Don't think a Ricky Ray or a Darius Durant would have been let go for saying the same thing.
Not saying Arland didn't have a concussion but I just don't see him being able to make a case when he wanted to keep playing afterwards. The case in question is against the BC Lions I believe.
Lots of people had/have concussions playing sports, I had a few. Goes with the territory.
The difference being that Ricky Ray and Darian Durant haven't worn out their welcome with 4 previous teams already.
I don't think that Bruce's stupid comment is the only reason he is unemployed. It was more like the final nail in the coffin of his playing career. He was a great talent, but a bit of an a-hole. I'll never forget O'Shea getting into it with him on the sidelines of a playoff game in the big O. As bad a coach as Bart Andrus was here, that was one move I supported at the time, and will continue to support. It takes more than great talent to have a great team.
