With MR retiring, hopefully they can shore up the rest of the team a bit. Great news. The guy reminds me of Jason Claremont- an incredible ability to catch a ball, while taking a hit, and then carry it for a few more yards. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Lions re-sign Joel Figueroa https://www.sportsnet.ca/cfl/article/veteran-offensive-lineman-figueroa-signs-extension-lions/ " VANCOUVER -- The B.C. Lions signed veteran American offensive lineman Joel Figueroa to a contract extension Monday. Figueroa, 32, was slated to become a free agent next week. Figueroa is entering his ninth CFL season and fourth with B.C. The Miami native started 12 games last season at left tackle. Figueroa began his CFL season with Hamilton (2013-15) and spent two seasons with Edmonton (2016-17) before joining the Lions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would give the Canadian a chance to compete for the job with whatever American guy they can bring in.. of course it is harder to convince players to come up to get Canada with the Covid virus being handled still as a pandemic in Canada vs the States already opened up treating it like a bad flu.

thedestroyerofworlds Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 https://www.sportsnet.ca/cfl/article/cfl-and-cfl-players-association-reach-tentative-collective-bargaining-agreement/ CFL and CFL Players' Association reach tentative collective bargaining agreement TORONTO -- The second strike in CFL history is over. The CFL and the CFL Players' Association reached a tentative collective bargaining agreement Wednesday night, the league said. Sources told the Canadian Press that it is a seven-year deal and spoke on the condition of anonymity as neither side immediately offered confirmation. The contract must still be ratified by both the CFL board of governors as well as the CFLPA membership but the expectation is players will report to their teams Thursday and go through an opening-day walkthrough. A source said one team, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, is scheduled to have a players' meeting later Wednesday night. The other source said the opening exhibition game Monday between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Saskatchewan Roughriders will go ahead as scheduled as a result of the tentative deal. The agreement comes four days after players with seven of the league's nine teams opted against the start of training camp hours after the previous agreement expired. Talks between the league and union broke off Saturday. The previous deal, originally signed in 2019 and amended for a shortened '21 campaign, expired at midnight ET on Saturday, putting the players on the seven squads in a legal strike position at 12:01 a.m. ET on Sunday. Players with the Edmonton Elks and Calgary Stampeders both reported to camp because they weren't in a legal strike position, according to provincial labour laws. But the tentative agreement comes just before the Elks and Stampeders players would've been in a legal strike position. On Wednesday, the CFL confirmed the players in Alberta would've been eligible to walk off the job at 2:25 p.m. ET on Thursday. CFL players have gone on strike once, in 1974, but the situation was settled before the start of the regular season. The regular season kicks off June 9 with the Montreal Alouettes in Calgary to face the Stampeders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 The players rejected the above proposal, so the league has now presented what it calls it's "final" amended proposal. If the players reject it, they will be told to vacate their respective training camp facilities. So here's the question: If the season is lost to a labor dispute, does it survive? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the league survives, but it will look different. Can’t see teams in Vancouver and Toronto. Maybe a prairie league with Ottawa and Hamilton? The Lions and Argos just lose too much money for the other teams to carry if players take too much money. The CFL, (I think?) has owners that love the game and want to see it continue more that guys trying to make money. No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montreal, Hamilton and Ottawa are good too. Be nice to get a tenth team. Quebec City? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfor42 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Lions have sold out the lower bowl for their home opener and opened up seats in the top. Should draw 30k or more for Saturday's game. Looking forward to seeing our two young CANADIAN quarterbacks...and obviously so are a lot of others. The new ownership is doing some good things with ten dollar end zone seats and events every game. Looking forward to cheering for a young team on the rise this year! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4petesake Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Excellent game, so far it’s been the James Butler show with 3 TDs. The big crowd is revved up and enjoying things, off to raucous start with One Republic ad have kept it going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
