    Please don't link-and-run.

    We traded a neg list player to Saskatchewan for DE Eric Striker, presumably to see if he can help our pass rush.

    Sorry? I'll try to not post when I don't have time to capture, edit, upload and then post further information.

    Interesting to observe, Striker has gone directly onto the active roster not the PR. Looks as if he is slated to take Plummer's place. Plummer impressed last year and is presently on the one game injury list but perhaps is injury is more serious than first thought.

    Described as a classic tweener for the NFL-short but quick, he might be a better fit for the larger CFL field. Seems to have good potential but will need to show quickly if he can do the job.

    I had the same thought.

    Linebacker maybe.
    DL? No.

    Striker was the talk of the Bills' Training Camp a couple of years back. He was a tremendous player in college... big school too!

    FWIW, he is listed as a LB on our roster.

    And i guess Evan Foster - Argos 2nd and 19th overall pick last year - continues to be a write-off at DE; what a shocker.

    Nah that was the air traffic controller Steve McCroskey played by Lloyd Bridges. As a complete aside both Bridges and Leslie Neilsen were not thought of as comedic actors before Airplane. It kinda altered the career trajectory of both.

    Argofans, I'm so old I remember Lloyd Bridges in Sea Hunt. Never liked that show but I do remember it.

    Just noticed on the official CFL Transaction site, Argos added receiver Bralon Addison (a cut after TC) on June 29, which was the same day Myles White was signed. Team appears to be making a serious effort to find a wide receiver who can stretch the field.

    He's a bit under sized but could see him in certain situations especially the return game

    That was a questionable pick from day one IMO.

    I read on Justin Dunk's Twitter feed that it was Denard Robinson who went the other way in this deal.
    Chad Kelly + Dan Adeboboye + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force

    I guess that he hasn't been able to earn a starting position. It might still happen someday or not.

    Which makes sense as he played LB in College. So, maybe Jones just tried to convert him to DE ?
