Rourke released, Signed by Atlanta...and released again AND SIGNS WITH BC

[Pete]

could be an interesting month coming up with two potential allstars (Rourke and Mack) possibly returning. The other allstar to watch is Mathieu Betts.
These are all guys that are difference makers.

Well I guess we will see how good Rourke is in the CFL...he has signed with the BC Lions

[DCM]

They must have gave him an offer he couldn't refuse.

Guess we will see how good he is? He lit it up.  There is no guess.  Now that said he hasn't played a bit.  Biggest question is how good BC is and can they keep Rourke healthy.  Another question is how they will keep under the cap and is VA going to 6 game (save $)?  Interesting to see when Rourke will play.

Even if Adams took a pay cut, this is going to have a ripple effect on their SMS. Lions say Adams won't be traded.

Getting Rourke back in the CFL is good for the CFL and the Lions.

Hearing the details of the agreement will be interesting. All that has been mentioned so far is a 3 year deal.

I hadn't seen that yet, crazy.

Must be so they could offer the guaranteed money in year 3.

Shows what Dave Naylor knows! lol
"He won't be in the CFL this year."

Guess the Blue Bombers have an extra spice to there game now Sunday.

Obviously the Lions will slay the cap restrictions this year now. Happily pay the fine.

That's a possibility with a rich owner. The fine is one issue but losing a draft pick would hurt as well.

In the long run, it's great for Vancouver fan interest.

I wonder if he ends up starting on the weekend since he couldn't be worse than Dolegala.

Great news for the Lions and the CFL. I'm looking forward to seeing Rourke play again.

We'll absolutely see him.

[Pete]

Likely he took team friendly contract this year and then more realistic number going forward, so they can have time to make adjustments

[Blueforlife]

We'll absolutely see him.

Will be interesting.  If he can practice enough yes.  Likely not enough time this week.
