Ottawa Redblacks Thread

[Argo57]

As per 3 Down Nation the Ottawa Red Blacks have signed former Grey Cup Champion and Argonaut OG Darius Bladek. In a corresponding move the Ottawa Red Blacks released OG Jacoby Ruby, who was due a $20,000.00 roster bonus.

A very good move by Burke.

Swapping Ruby for Bladek is interesting; maybe mostly to save the 20K bonus due to Ruby ? - which is kinda cheap, but not surprising with $M$ concerns. Maybe they feel Bladek will be a decent upgrade. Ruby was named their top O-Lineman last season = ???

I think Dru Brown could do well - if they are hitching their wagons to him as a bonafide starter of some kinda saviour; could also see him being another Arbuckle - who showed more in the CFL compared to Brown's small sample size. LOL at some RedBlacks fans on post game radio call-in who thought Arbuckle was this new star / QB saviour there after he won a game for them.

Crum or maybe even Masoli to turn to if Brown struggles, is not too shabby though IMO for QB depth. That's IF Masoli is healthy enough to play anywhere near his previous CFL best form. Would be the best QB depth chart in the league, perhaps.
