    Get pumped! I love this move simply because we're looking everywhere for talent. Not to mention this dude is athletic as hell and went to Penn State.

    Edit:

    Nice to see a LB choose us over NE, Indy, and all the rest. Now if this dude works out, then we just need about 4 more like him.

    Holy ****!

    I am stoked!

    That is a lot of money for such an "unproven" guy IMO. The staff must have been impressed.

    Nice, low cost, high upside, and he can play Special Teams.

    Maybe, but you can never have enough pass rushers.

    IMO, Wake is Charlie Anderson's replacement, or could be.

    I would bet Sparano is going to ride him about it not being the CFL anymore..

    Rules don't apply in this case because he is not coming off an NFL contract.

    High praise indeed MelbourneP, he has the tools to play for us, even if it is 3rd down pass rusher or ST daemon.

    Derrick Rodgers was maybe 25 when we drafted him, and Wake C is a heck of alot more athletic then Rodgers was.

    very nice! alot of cash for him... but the guy's been tearing apart the CFL, and with the ability of this FO to have an eye for talent, its pretty exciting to see this news. Hopefully he works out well for us, it would indeed be just like an extra/early draft pick like melbourne said..

    What gives me at least a little bit of confidence in this addition is Jeff Ireland. Ireland has a knack for finding late round talents and picking guys up off the practice squad.

    Two time CFL DOPY, he had 22 sacks last year, and 18 the year before, there are some youtube vids of his skills, like a 40 inch vertical leap.

    Every CFL player, unless maybe the Qb, has to play on Special Teams, our Coaches are pretty keen on newbies playing on that unit and Wake has done that before in the CFL.

    Keep in mind though, not alot of miles on his tires, he was with the Giants for 1 season on the practice squad, but other then that, not a ton of games played.

    His work ethic and attitude is what excites me about him, and judging by a 4 yr deal, I think our FO felt the same.

    Does anyone have stats of the league leaders in the CFL? I just want to compare and contrast. Obviously 23 is impressive, especially with two real downs in the cfl.

    Edit: NM... Dude had more then double of the 2nd place guy...

    His vertical leap is amazing:

    Here is a bit more, if you go pass the Mike Bishop highlights you can see him move a bit:

    Well, I'm watching the CFL player of the week vids on him, and he has a great motor and some moves, and I'm glad we got him.
