Darnel Sankey

[Austin85]

Hopefully the bombers can sign him, that would help down the stretch! He is a tackle beast .

Can?t see it happening for a bunch of reasons but primarily this would create a riff in the clubhouse as this defense is Biggies and we don?t need any possible distractions or votes of non confidence by signing him. Biggie may have lost. Step but he?s our leader and if he is one thing it is durable. Just not going to happen, not MOS s style at all.

Chris Jones should sign him, he needs all the help he can get righting that ship

Ya.  The only way I see us getting Sankey is if Biggie is hurt (knock wood).  We're happy with our NAT depth at MLB.  I don't see how Sankey could pick up our entire system that quickly anyhow.

As for future replacement?  I'm not sure I like him there either.  I'm not sure he's the best fit.  I'd love to see Singleton come back and us pull a Biggie and snipe him.  Not many other MLBs I'm interested in.  I'd have to sleep on it.

Good player, not the right time imo.

Singleton?
The guy has been a starting LB in the NFL for a while!

Ya, but like most ex-CFLers, don't we expect him back at some point?  Isn't that the M.O. for like 85% of Canadian NFLers?

LB's aren't a problem for the Lions. They aren't going to bench Hladek.

Oh my god, Singleton has made a boat load of money playing in the big leagues, he ain?t ever ever coming back to the cfl, ever.

Biggie's future replacement is already in town, Wilson starts at MLB and Clements slides into WIL.  If O'Shea says no to  that option, time to bring JSK back home!

Is Wilson big enough to be MIKE?  Isn't he like 50 lb lighter than Biggie?  Looks like it.  I don't really doubt he could handle the IQ part.  But he just seems like the wrong body type.  And Wilson isn't young either, and he's been a bit injury prone.

You'd have to sell me on the idea more.  And then we'd have to find the next great ELC WILL.  I'm pretty sure Clements isn't it.

It would sure be cool having a super fast MIKE though!

Bighill and Wilson are. Roughly the same weight, I believe.

Biggie has about 20lb on Wilson.

Another gem of a thread.

He signed three-year contract worth $18M with the Broncos back in March, so I'd say so.
