Elks: Edmonton Eskimos 2019

[ThePhoenixx]

Dispute over signing bonus led QB Trevor Harris out of Ottawa and into Edmonton

The free agent movement that we saw this year in the CFL is probably the new norm.

1 or 2 year deals- go where you can get an extra $20K - bank up a few extra bucks and inevitably move around a bit.

I have no problem with it from the standpoint of players and their families (I would do the same) but the effect it will have on the fan base remains to be seen. I think it makes it tougher to identify with teams.

Of course lol

Gross on gross, the unprincipled seem to be drawn to eachother

Great. Politics on a hockey forum. This should be good.

I’m starting to think Kenney is a schmuck.

I’m starting to think Kenney is a schmuck.

I just assume all of them are schmucks. It's a matter of figure out which one is the least schmuck

Saw this and nearly puked. I want the NDP turfed as much as anyone, but I'd sacrifice the riding he's in to see him get smoked.

Just figuring this out now?

Man this pisses me off now. Was happy to see him go, and could live with the fact that they were allowing him a gracious exit. Seeing now that the last couple weeks were just a publicity stunt to gain favor for him in an election makes me even more mad that the board didn't just outright turf his ass.

Didn't he say "winning isn't the most important thing" in regards to the esks?

Wonder if he has the same thought process when he runs for his spot.

 

[Jet Walters]

Can't wait to see what B list rapper he has at his campaign rally.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Can't believe anybody hasn't made this joke by now but Rhodes should be running in a Calgary riding, he'd be sure to elicit more votes that way just for how he ran the Eskimos.

I don't think theres too much concern. This will be a tough riding for Rhodes. That's as much as I will state.

This made me laugh way harder than it should, cause its true

I could be his rap guy I guess. I'm cheap, have a keyboard, and hate the NDP.

Throw your hands up in the air and wave them all around. To the right, to the right. Now further right, now further right. But never to the left. Now throw them down like your carbon taxes.

Has anybody heard anything about Vidal Hazelton? Is he running for office too?

Underrated post.

I wouldn't rule out Calgary.

 

[MoontoScott]

Sure, this was very predictable. They already parted ways with Manny Arceneaux who was a huge fan favorite and now more are to follow.

When you pay a 34 year old QB >700K a year you have an instant problem, perhaps not a major problem but a problem none the less.

Feels good to know that Len Rhodes is finally gone. Really good.

I have been wondering who will ultimately replace him.
My hope is that they hire 2 people. One to oversee the Football Ops and another one for the business side of things.
Unless of course they can find someone qualified to do both.

Sean Fleming?
