So, his rights got transferred to WPG before FA started so he could sign?

What did WPG give up in the transfer?  (can't read the article behind the paywall, and the CFL.CA article doesn't say)

The release says Edmonton has agreed to "assign the playing rights" of Ceresna to the Bombers.

Huh? He's about to become a free agent on Feb. 10. Yet this makes it sound more like a trade.
It's not a trade though. The Bombers confirmed they're not getting anything in return.

The release goes on to say the Elks are doing this "in order to demonstrate cooperation with fellow member clubs and to allow the acquiring club to begin its onboarding process."

That "onboarding process" includes "travel arrangements and event planning."

Again, we've never seen anything like this before.

Nothing would have stopped the Bombers from making travel arrangements and planning a news conference with Ceresna without his rights being transferred.

It's nice when everyone is nice.

It is. My question is why they weren't nice to Ford?

Classic Paul Friesen article.

Ceresna may have wanted his signing bonus sooner or the media appearance worked better last week instead of this one. CFL players have lives too.

All they did was do the required paperwork a week early and they needed Edmonton's help for that. It's nice when everyone is nice.

The end.

Just noticed that most of the rookie DB's signed so far are 6'1" or taller. I made a similar comment about the rookie DL earlier.

Is this a newer trend by the team getting more away from what I remember more recently?

That's a very good trend, if Jamal Parker had better size he might still be on the team.

Again, they could make any changes they wanted, there was far more they could do to Americanize the league.

Moving goalposts, taking 10 yards length out of the field and changing the clock are not "American" changes. 

4 downs, 11 men, no ratio, narrower field, there were so many more ways they could have "Americanize" the game.  But they chose a few cosmetic changes to update the game.

Occam's razor does not guarantee truth. It is not a law of logic or fact; it suggests the simplest explanation—requiring the fewest assumptions—is usually the best starting point for investigation.

If you use "possibly," then Occam's razor is enough. When you say something happened, the level of proof goes up to absolute.

No but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand the probabilities of how the CFL works. Your silly use of meme's is childish but continue as you like.

Somewhere in this string or others on the forum it was even mentioned that was exactly what O'Shea said was done. Of course it's possible he's lying through his teeth since nothing is ever 100% certain.  None of us needs it to be 100% certain except you needing validation.

Are we having fun yet?

Occums razor. Now you're just becoming a troll disagreeing with what many posters are saying.
