Tough one for Mr. Lowes. I bet he would have been a great special teams guy. **** injuries!

Ya, inquiring minds want to know. Addison goes from top-3-in-league SB to a zero after that first GC loss. What a shame. No one ever said a bad word about him and everyone wanted him on their team. It's the go-to-NFL-to-become-a-zero curse. Should have just stayed in the CFL. |

I haven no real idea about that. I took it to be an SMS move needed but that was just speculation. We'll see if he gets signed elsewhere ( Edmonton ) lol? |

He had surgery for a ruptured Achilles last year. I think it's pretty clear that he hasn't passed his physical this year, and given that he has only played 11 games over the last 2 years, the TiCats want to move on.

Sure hope he can get healthy, such a good player at 1st. |

A 50% cut and the TiCats didn't budge either. |

Hamilton offered him $70,000 and $15K housing?  Slap in the face. |

Didn?t we do something similar with Brandon Alexander?s new contract last year? I seem to remember reading that he got a below market rate for 2022 in recognition that he would miss most of the year, but then full value for 2023. I can see why Hamilton would want to manage their risk, the guy has barely played the last 2 years and won?t be able to start the season this year. |

Wow Lemar Durant retires at 30, he had a good level of skill for a Natl. but never really established himself as a consistent starter in Calgary, BC or Hamilton. |
