Notes: -Schefter seems to think signing Armstead is like adding a high draft pick -Odell Willis's mystery team was announced...the Pittsburgh Steelers..he has workout sometime this week with another unnamed team.
-Willis worked out for the Bucs -Rod Williams signed with the Vikings -Chris McCoy signed in Philly And poor Jovan Olifioye, best OL in the CFL, was DQ'd by the Packers w/o a workout b/c he takes a hypertension medication for a history of familial problems with hypertension. Ravens contacted him but low balled him so far he turned them down. This with a Max Signing Bonus of 76k
He is ours: Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley Dolphins sign linebacker Lee Robinson, last of the CFL's Edmonton Eskimos. Went to Alcorn State.
Never know though I have noticed that unless a guy dominates or plays at a high level in the CFL they generally do not do real well in the NFL.
Interesting player, a bit like Danny Woodhead only probably a bit larger physically. Jest are looking for low priced guys from the CFL
Just to put a wrap on this Sol Eliminian and Jovan O both resigned with the BC Lions Reality is, their signing bonus would not be equal to their CFL salary, so rather than risk being camp fodder they simply took the certain money in the CFL. That is pretty much the class this year, next yr Chris Williams will hit the market and he may have a hot market for his services.
Did I recently read something about how in the future CFL players might be able to attend to combine and be drafted? Can't remember if i dreamed this or actually read something about it...
