lol, apparently he would have been traded long ago if Stern wasn't blocking the trade.

I hate when owners get involved, but what is Danny thinking?

The Lions are going to continue to be a force to be reckoned with. Adams is no Rourke but he is a pretty good QB who will keep BC competitive.

With that receiving corps in BC, Adams should be able to do some serious damage once he settles in to that system.

Adams will definitely help them for the rest of the season.

And next year if Adams decides to stay with the Leos (on a lower $), that would be a vey good QB-combo.

But I think VA will be an Elks next year. Leos will get a first rounder back which will be higher than their original.

HUGE!! 3 team league once more. If he gets hot at the right time... look out.

Last BC game they said no weight on the foot for 6 - 8 weeks for Rourke.  It was a pipe dream to think that he could be back anywhere close to 100% this year. Good for BC to make this move. MTL just dumping salary?

Too bad selfishly for the Bombers , but good for BC as mentioned by others I think BC could be competitive with Adams as long as his arm is actually healed!

The Als will make the playoffs this season but Trevor Harris has always been pretty fragile, they may be risking their playoff run by getting rid of Adams now, 'cause next up is Dom Davis.  Good move for the Lions, Adams will keep them ahead of the Riders for the 3rd playoff spot in the West.

Wow... Machiocha doesn't realize tanking for the first overall doesn't work in the CFL, right?  All it does is gets you finished earlier... oh, well... there's that.  PLaters get game cheques for post season, does management?

VA3 (not VAJ as I've seen some refer to him as) is a solid player, and with the targets he now has in BC, it will be interesting. CGY might give up ts #2 ranking sooner than later.

Edm still misses the playoffs...

In retrospect I think the estate of Sid Spiegel was anxious to rid themselves of their biggest and most wasteful salary obligation.

I wonder if this has any additional impact on the Lions SMS. He's obviously getting more that the two Canadian QB's. The bigger question is what impact does it have on their ratio moving towards an import starting at QB?

He is consistently referred to as "Vernon Adams Jr."

Therefore, VAJ.
