    Why did they bother signing Mumaba last year? However - Bear Woods was hurt most of last season, no? - and he had a good year at MLB for the Als the season before; wouldn't surprise me in the least if Poop would rather have Woods at MLB, especially if it is not a "ratio problem" forcing them to use Muamba; but I thought they might think of playing some 3-4 with both guys in the middle.

    Argos should be all over trying to get Muamba if he is up for grabs, and with the loss of starter Jones; Muamba is an excellent play-making MLB IMO.

    $225k for an elite MLB isn't too bad IMO. I'd take him in a heartbeat if it was $200k or under.

    Agreed. IIRC his deal is $10-15k more than Henoc's.

    EDIT: Elimimian re-worked his deal. So, I believe you are correct AV; Henoc is the highest paid linebacker.

    Good question. Maybe they're worried about getting under the cap.

    Could the Argos afford him at this point, OV? That is the key question IMO.

    Of course they could. Isn't Owens big $$$s off the $M$ now anyways ?

    If that mediocre MacPherson is making anywhere over 100K (as most back-up QBs with some experience easily do i think) - I would cut him in a second to add a player of Muamba's skill; then you could sign a young QB for CFL mimimum wage - several young Canadian QBs would jump at that chance i bet - Yantz, Cousineau, Wendell from the GGs ... maybe AV comes out of retirement and would play for that coin ? ;o)

    Lots of other options on who to cut to free up some dollars for Muamba - Van Zeyl, Hazelton, ...there should be a way and I can't believe some would make up an excuse to not take a shot at that kind of talent in a big area of need now.

    I am still hoping that JuWan Simpson ends up with the Argos...I think Miles is the only MLB on the roster right now.

    Als general manager Jim Popp has been making calls to teams around the league letting them know Muamba could be had. The Eskimos and Riders have reportedly been receptive with regards to possible trade talks. Montreal needs to trim some salary for cap reasons.

    Muamba is due a bonus north of $55,000 in less than a week, which could force a transaction by that deadline. He has one-year left on his contract for the 2016 season that would pay him in the range of $235,000

    Farhn Lalji thinks while the Als are listening to offers, they likely won't move Muamba.

    Not confusing at all. I took it as Popp is not initiating talks, and if he was offered something that just blew him away, he would make a deal. He just doesn't anticipate that happening.

    I'm confused because initially (via the media) Popp was looking to move Henoc due to money (he's due a big bonus soon) and the addition of Vaughan Martin, I just don't see too many teams interested in Henoc at his current rate. Either Popp is doing some damage control and trying to increase Henoc's trade value or maybe he's telling the truth and other teams have actually called.

    Meanwhile, numerous sources have told the Montreal Gazette the Als are attempting to trade non-import middle-linebacker Henoc Muamba. Edmonton appears the most interested and could relinquish a high draft choice. Muamba’s scheduled to earn $225,000 next season and is owed a significant bonus next week.

    Exactly, letting people know Muamba can be had but at a high price.
    Popp is simply setting a price and creating a market for a player who would be in high demand.
