A couple of guys cut by the useless Ticats doesn't really inspire me, but maybe they're happy. And again, great signing of Adeleke for good ole "Canadian depth".

What do you really think Adeleke is at this stage of his career coming off injury? He lost his spot in Hamilton already, you really expect him to start somewhere? Every time he played anywhere in the secondary othet than safety, he wasn’t very good. Of course you won’t believe that, but it’s true.

Stick to your own version of "true"; hilarious that some on these football forums can't grasp the difference between 'truth" and opinion.

Adeleke is a veteran proven D play-maker in this league; he's played S-OLB (at first some with the Stamps), mostly safety but also all other secondary positions. Maybe he's old, washed-up and injury damaged. I'll take a versatile, smart, fast veteran who knows the Canadian game over weak, inexperienced, still learning the game, rookie Americans (unless it's a Stiggers level athlete/talent) 7 days of the week. GOBs think differently though. The number of rookie or mediocre or lost American DBs ( most of the RedBlacks & Elks secondary or Marcus Sayles types and about 15 other currents I could name) who get recycled and chance after chance in this league is telling. Same old CFL $hite though.

Presently the team has only 8 players on the Practice Roster. The maximum number of Americans on the P. R. can be increased after the NFL cutdown so we might see some signings over the next couple of weeks.

The NFL cutdown day isn't the big deal that it used to be, as so many of the cuts now wait it out for another NFL chance; however, there will likely be a few additions to the PR in the upcoming weeks even though it will likely be more about taking a look at these players for next year than anything else.

This can be a valuable opportunity to bring in players for evaluation for next season and to expose them to the team’s culture. A great example of this is Benjie Franklin who after a rough start, has emerged as a solid corner IMO.

I suspect Murphy and his extensive front office staff (kidding) are working on bringing in PR depth and that signings are imminent.

I wonder if the DEL was a mistake and he was truly added to the game roster. Also, Tyson Hergott was placed on the practice roster. Is simply more nonsense from the league office? We shall see.

CFL's transactions list often makes little sense to us laypeople. I suspect the only way Daka could be deleted would be to briefly place him on the active list. Hergott's demotion to PR would suggest that a NAT is coming off the injured list this week -- perhaps Brissett?
