    Bear Woods at MLB anyone?

    The Als have cut him, probably salary cap reasons. Venable - Woods - Ball. That would suit me just fine.

    No not according to Kavis Read, it was football related:

    Farhan Lalji Retweeted Matthew Scianitti
    Kavis Reed tells me #Als had enough cap room for Woods' salary & never asked him to renegotiate. Decision was football based

    I take that as Reed putting a media spin on it. There is no way they would make that decision just as camp starts.

    Yeah that seems fishy. He was a CFL All Star just last season IIRC.

    Anyone know who are they replacing him with?

    Seems like a very strange or iffy move by Mavis Reed there.

    But, if Bear comes to Toronto - thanks a lot for the free gift for a big area of Argo need.

    I second this. The only concern with Woods would be his injury history, but he's a good mlb, much better than what we currently have.

    Didn't you refer to Woods as overrated on here in the past? Why the change of heart?

    We agree again! Too much talent on defensive all of a sudden. Timing could come any better.

    Yep - said he was over-rated in his early Als days; still think he is, a bit anyways; but improved lots as a CFL MLB over time - makes D plays lots, and an experienced guy who is maybe a huge improvement over anything the Argos have now? Big area of Argo need - bring him on; and if he was cut by the Als for non-monetary reasons mostly - as Mavis is blowing smoke - maybe the Argos find out in TC he has slipped or lost a step or is damaged = then he gets cut ? Seemed pretty good just last season for the Als though IMO. Be real interesting to see who they replace him with - likely a younger, much cheaper new import they have signed?; they also signed Plesius and he would be cheaper too, and maybe Mavis wants MLB to be one of their 7 only NI spots ?

    If he signs, our linebackers will be set.

    Woods "flew to Toronto" according to Justin Dunk. Still it's not a slam dunk as Toronto is a hub for connections to elsewhere.

    Yeah, it's definitely too soon to slam Dunk for this report. ;)

    I seriously doubt that he was referring to a connection in YYZ.
