    Zurkowsky believes that the reasons for Woods' release are financial in nature.
    Chad Kelly + Dan Adeboboye + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force

    Big buck$ to Durant, Olifoyae and probably Earnest Jackson too = some other high priced import talent had to take pay-cuts or else be let go ?

    Still something fishy there IMO - change to their D look ? - who will replace Woods ? Mavis trying to figure out where 7 only NIs fit? - maybe Plesius plays LB for Woods ?

    Anthony Sarao will most likely be the Alouettes starting MLB.

    The Als have obtained three year veteran National backup OL Matt Vonk in a trade with the Riders for 2017 sixth round draft pick National Denzel Radford.

    Montreal has worked out former Tampa Bay first rounder QB Josh Freeman, who attended Calgary's spring mini-camp.

    He started 61 games over seven seasons with three different teams, compiling 81 touchdowns, 68 interceptions, 13,873 yards and a 77.6 quarterback rating. His last start came in January 2016 with the Indianapolis Colts and he was out of pro football last season.

    Darian Durant showed no rust or injury effects from last year in throwing 2 TDs in partial game action yesterday. As expected, he should bring a major upgrade to the Als offence.

    The Als have no interest in recent cuts and former Argo QBs Drew Willy and Mitchell Gale.

    Als have signed Drew Willy. Reed continues to bewilder me.

    Kudos to Olympic Stadium for the deal to provide the ALS with a practice field and professional training facilities.

    Maybe not, after seeing Durant pass for only 166 yards the other night, Willy could get the start pretty soon.

    In a Montreal Gazette article about the Vernon Adams trade, one Alouettes fan commented "drew willy just as good as adams probably better."
    I suspect that some of you Argofans will disagree.

    I haven't been following Vernon Adams CFL career terribly closely, but then again I haven't seen any reason to do so.

    According to 3DownNation, Drew Willy signed with the Als for a $10,000 signing bonus plus $80,000 guaranteed money and playing time bonuses. Quite a drop-off from the $70,000 signing bonus Barker gave him in January and the starting money he was getting in Winnipeg and Toronto.

    The Als have added QB Colin Kaepernick to their negotiation list after he was removed from Hamilton's list. Having made more than $24 million in the NFL, he certainly has no need of a CFL salary, so the only reason he would ever come to Canada would be a path back to the NFL a la Ricky Williams. I think the chances of this happening are remote, but if it were to happen it would sure beat signing Manziel by a mile.

    Montreal has continued its merry-go-round of changes with the addition of four players to its practice roster. One of them, International OL Anthony Morris, was released by the Argos on May 24th.

    GM Kavis Reed has brought in former Rider HC, who previously helped in Durant's development, in order to try to improve his performance.

    In their seemingly never-ending quest to get Darian Durant to perform to his capabilities, the Alouettes are hoping a friendly and familiar voice, and face, might provide the solution with time running out on their Canadian Football League season.
    But former Saskatchewan head coach Ken Miller, whose hiring as an offensive consultant was announced on Sunday, said he doesn’t have a magic powder. “Hopefully, I can work with him a little bit and help him regain the confidence and performance level he has experienced in the past,” Miller said following Wednesday’s practice — his and the team’s first full workout following Sunday’s loss against Ottawa. “The fact he has struggled is part of the problem. I hope I have some influence on that,” said Miller, who turns 76 on Oct. 15. “It would be great if we could get Darian to play up to his potential the way he has played in the past. And exceed that.”
    Miller was the Roughriders’ head coach from 2008 to 2010, guiding the team to a 32-21-1 record. He remained vice-president (football operations) after handing the coaching reigns to Greg Marshall in 2011. But when the Riders lost seven of their initial eight games, Marshall was fired and replaced by Miller with 10 games remaining. Saskatchewan went 4-6 and Miller resigned. ...
    Reed was instrumental in bringing Miller back to the league, specifically to work with Durant and new offensive coordinator Anthony Calvillo, while trying to jump-start the Als’ anemic offence, held to 23 touchdowns through 12 games along with an average 18.3 points, ahead of only Hamilton in both categories. ...
    “I’ve seen him hold the ball a little too long. Maybe he doesn’t have a lot of confidence in his decision-making, so he holds the ball, gets sacked and his fundamentals break down a little bit. I’ve talked to him about fundamentals and confidence, being able to anticipate and getting the ball out on time. Make those good decisions.”
