E. Manning and OJ were truly some of the best receivers to have ever played, so good call Tecno. I remember back in 1991 Eli running a post route and Adrian Peterson slinging it probably 92-93 yards upfield. Eli caught it and took it to the house no problem. Good times.

Cut down day in the NFL is August 26th, at 4 pm. Teams will have to trim there roster down to 53.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

Eli Manning.  Is he a REC?  I think I read that once.  Never saw him play, only remember his name because of the famous last name.  And was OJ a REC?  Maybe?  So that's 2!  Oh, and the few CFL REC stars that made it more than 1 season down south.  That's all I got...

This is wild.
My wife is amazing!

Toldya I don't know anything about NFL!  I meant it!  Don't make me name more wrong-position guys!  (Hey... RB is darn close though!)

As for F1: I like it for the same reason I like CFL... the chess match.  It's not just nascar ovals and willy-nilly pit stops, it's all about undercuts, overcuts and tire & pit strategy.  Changing 4 tires in 1.9s is cool too...
Never go full Rider!

Good depth signings!

I remember Echols more than Moore but I can't recall that much about either

Pete

Wonder if this means Wilson has told them hes hanging around nfl to see what happens.
also the moore signing smacks of desperation, Another player off acl that hasnt played since 2023?

The Zipp

I think it means Sterns is not coming back for a while and maybe Demski will not be back next week.

Jesse

This news is terrifying.

Instead of Schoen and Wilson, we get this?
My wife is amazing!

Sir Blue and Gold

It's better than Gavin Cobb and Max McLeod.

Either is terrible. I don't really have an optimistic outlook for either set of guys.

Hope not but suspect you're right, if Pokey wanted to come back Walters would have arranged it by now.

Love Kyran Moore better known in Sask. as "Swerve", smart receiver good hands and great YAC ability, even when I hated most Rider players always admired his ability to find the soft spots in a defence. He's a small build Dressler type like Sterns who should help Zach out with the dump passes. Don't expect blocking or deep routes from him, even though he's quick and shifty, he's very slight.  Not sure but suspect he may have played with Zach when he was a Rider.

Nothing terrifying at all to me

Two new faces to add to our depth guys already on the roster.

Yes we want the big name back but this is great insurance

My only concern is rust on these new faces and if they can still play, time will tell

We needed to do something and we acted fast which is good

Cobb has potential as he is a Swiss army knife
We don't know what we have with McLeod but experience trumps him likely

Way to early to call any of our depth guys terrible imo

That's true. If Kyran Moore is healthy though. he's a pretty talented receiver and he's 29 in September which is the later end of still peak receiver ability usually. Big YAC guy.

Both seem like depth additions at this point. Moore could be a surprise depending on his health, IMO.
