    Question could argos trade some rb's to get linemen from lions ?

    cdn would be preferred as it would allow more americans in other roles
    do lions have cdn ol of any merit ? protection for qb's is paramount
    i know coach cc is primarily concerned w/ defence

    maybe the $ kitty is all dried up?

    -------------
    Foucault is a cdn OL and a very big boy 6'7" . 323lbs . 30yr old, - would be very cool to get him
    don't know about LB Elimimian 6' . 225lbs as he only played 4 games last year and is 30 yr old and an import

    Not going to happen. Lions are way above the cap, and will likely be looking for draft picks to get rid of their higher priced players that aren't in their plans, or just plain release them.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    I'd want Foucault here, but I'd rather just see the Argonauts wait for his release. Could then maybe come in for a cheaper rate (though I suppose a restructure could happen either way), and without giving up any assets.

    Foucault is a natural OT (had a start in the NFL there) who got converted to guard by CFL GOB thinking; be nice to have a chance to get him for free if he is just cut by Mr. Ed; but unless the Argos plan to give him a real look at OT, there are much better guard prospects to be had - like Viallancourt if he could be got from the same Lions; or via the draft.

    ???

    Mr. Ed will not be up for trading for any Argo RB - he let go 2 of them (Sutton & Rainey) from the Lions.

    Mr. Ed would have the opportunity to add to his much needed RB TC competition by drafting one of the very good RB prospects up this draft - including BC guy Maleek Irons who is a very big, productive tailback from US college ball (Ohio); don't hold your breath there = RB will not be one of his 7 only need apply positions.

    If he actually came for free, sure. But I bet Foucault is making and would expect to keep making big money -- potentially two or three times as much as an INT LT.

    if released he may opt to sign w/ als as he was born in La Salle

    Foucault is making 2 or 3 times as much as Sir Vincent Rodgers or Jovan Olifoyae or Derek Dennis or Stanley Bryant ?

    Foucault is a very unproven one year CFL starter; if a CFL GM is dumb enough to sign this guy for big buck$ - that's great for him.

    Those guys are not on our roster, last time I looked. I wouldn't be surprised if he is making 2-3 times as much as Isaiah Cage or Will Campbell.
