    Muamba signs in the NFL




    It would have been nice if we could have signed him, but our LB corps has worked out pretty well IMO despite the injury to McFadden.

    Chances are he will be back north sooner rather than later. He's getting up there in age that teams will find someone younger, cheaper. AKA the Cory Greenwood effect.

    Don't see him lasting long down South, but if he continues wasting time I think he'll be hard pressed to get a good deal up here in the future.

    Fully understand the financial lure the NFL offers these guys however Muamba appears to be spending his prime football years reaching for the pot of gold instead of actually playing football.
    Your point is well made SnowRogue, each time he does this could lower any chance for a decent CFL deal.

    But he is earning some $ for Hardaway ...... One sometimes wonders who is reaching for the gold .... Good luck to
    Muamba hope that he makes it and gets to play ....

    Muamba already played in and starred in the CFL (superb season for the Bummer a few year back); he also already played in the NFL - on the Colts roster and played some.

    Good luck to him - love to see him back in the CFL if the NFL does not work out, but can't blame him IMO for chasing NFL money.

    Cowboys are the NFL's Team Canada: starting D-lineman Tyrone Crawford; vet long-sapper LP Ladouceur (maybe one of the best all-time at that position - apparently never made one bad snap in his multi-year career); plus Muamba, and rookie DB Arjen Colquhon are in their TC; Muamba and Colquhon would be nice CFL additions if they get cut.

    Muamba will most likely sign with the Riders. Dunk first reported it, then deleted his tweet. Team says deal isn't done.

    Man - he'll be a real "ratio buster" for us; too bad his Canadian pay scale will cost way too much though; another brilliant move by Jones & Murphy - these guys are football geniuses. We're really building now for next season. The RedBlacks are probably going to fold and we'll get some good players in the dispersal draft. Damn cheatin' Esks ! Bombers are a joke ! STFU Bovine Mitchell you damn hillbilly. The CFL is out to get us.
