BLM traded to the Ti-Cats

[The Zipp]

So i guess he can sign there if he wants as a free agent...

Good move for the Ti-Cats I suppose...

Riders should trade for Vernon Adams. He's not an elite QB but at least he's better than nothing. Fajardo will play backup somewhere.

Well it gives them the 1st chance to work out a new deal before free agency. Whether they are successful or not we'll see but a lot of things may change before then. Some reports suggested that MBT might retire in Toronto and BLM might prefer that choice.

In any case what did the TiCats give up in exchange for those rights? I suppose it will be contingent on him signing.

I am not sorry to see Mitchell leave the division. I think he still has a lot left in the tank. Hamilton is a decent team that had inconsistent quarterbacking and that will be solved if they can get Mitchell signed.

Interesting, I guessed that is where he would land, we shall see.

Conditional picks?

[Blue In BC]

Conditional picks?

Yes. The east division will have an interesting free agency period. I think Harris, MBT and possibly Masoli are all potential free agents. Could be some musical chairs going on with teams deciding what to do.

Lions, Riders and Elks might want or need to address QB needs.

I thought BLM would end up with the Argos and that could still happen. If Rourke goes to NFL, the Lions may enter the picture of his interests?

Wow crazy wasting no time.

I don't get this, it's not like MBT has accomplished anything yet.  He gets awfully worked up about football, for it not to mean anything to him.

A bit surprised it's so soon, but I guess it gives him plenty of time to negotiate.  Seems like an announcement that would normally be made after the GC though.

He's 34, apparently has business interests outside of football and is already wealthy.

Football is hard.

Naylor suggested it was a safe bet that BLM signs with Hammy.

It's a good spot for him.

This is more about Calgary getting something for Bo before he leaves for FA than it is about Hamilton landing him. It gives Hamilton an opportunity to sign him ahead of anybody else but that's about it, the winner in this news story is the Stamps... assuming its not contingent on BLM actually signing they literally got something for nothing, BLM wasn't staying in Calgary.
