2025 Free Agency (other CFL teams Signings/News)

[Ridermania]

B.C. Lions' general manager Ryan Rigmaiden told the media today that his team is moving on from American defensive back T.J. Lee and Canadian offensive lineman Sukh Chungh in free agency. Lee was the longest-tenured player on the team with 11 years of service, while Chungh is a local product from Port Coquitlam.

Both have priced themselves out of the BC salary cap. Wonder how long Chungh sits in FA and whether his price tag drops. He's a very decent OL, but there's only so many dollars to go around.

That likely means he's cooked. Oof.

I was reading the CFL has some kind of remedial program for domestic abusers, if he goes through that program I wouldn't be surprised if some team picks him up. Plenty of CFL players with past criminal records, so he may not be done yet.

How long until he wears Green?

It'll depend on how the legal aspect plays out, IMO. Look at how things went for Chad Kelly; he wasn't even charged and missed half a season.

Not sure if there are varying levels of discipline based on repeat offenders... I don't think Houston makes it over the border, though, if the charges hold and he is convicted.

Might see him in the USFL now that he's been cut loose.

I'm inclined to agree. If he's convicted, his career up here is probably toast. Not sure any team wants to deal with that headache, both in terms of the optics and the paperwork involved.

I don't even want to guess at what the Riders paid him...  but they need him, for sure.  With what they are paying Yoshi, that some high priced beef on their table.

I sure hope Yoshi took his recovery seriously, if he wants to continue playing a few more years he has to lose some weight.
