Rourke released, Signed by Atlanta...and released again AND SIGNS WITH BC

[Blue In BC]

Even if Adams took a pay cut, this is going to have a ripple effect on their SMS. Lions say Adams won't be traded.

Getting Rourke back in the CFL is good for the CFL and the Lions.

Hearing the details of the agreement will be interesting. All that has been mentioned so far is a 3 year deal.

I hadn't seen that yet, crazy.

Must be so they could offer the guaranteed money in year 3.

Shows what Dave Naylor knows! lol
"He won't be in the CFL this year."

Guess the Blue Bombers have an extra spice to there game now Sunday.

Obviously the Lions will slay the cap restrictions this year now. Happily pay the fine.

That's a possibility with a rich owner. The fine is one issue but losing a draft pick would hurt as well.

In the long run, it's great for Vancouver fan interest.

I wonder if he ends up starting on the weekend since he couldn't be worse than Dolegala.

Great news for the Lions and the CFL. I'm looking forward to seeing Rourke play again.

We'll absolutely see him.

Likely he took team friendly contract this year and then more realistic number going forward, so they can have time to make adjustments

[Blueforlife]

We'll absolutely see him.

Will be interesting.  If he can practice enough yes.  Likely not enough time this week. 

[Blue In BC]

We'll absolutely see him.

Maybe. New playbook and new receivers. He won't have the timing down with them by this week. He hasn't played much so he isn't ready for a full 60 minute game.

They won't want to throw him into the fire.

Were paying Collaros 600K & Streveler 120K = 720K for our top 2 QB's.

BC's paying VAJ 404K so they could pay Rourke 316K this year to match our top 2 QB's. Assuming Rourke is worth 600K+, 300K+ for half a season's about right.

I would assume he would play next game not this one.  Risk of injury is too high.  They are not desperate for a win (yet).

Why would the risk of injury be high?
