The Seattle Times is reporting that Seattle is considering hiring Marc Trestman as its OC.  Trestman recruited Russell Wilson to play for State.

Johnny Manziel's agent made some disrespectful comments about the league, which some feel may have reduced the Ticats' interest in signing him.

There is an ongoing story that I have held off on posting on because it is complicated, and not all the facts are known (at least by the public).  On Jan 24, James Wilder announced that he would not play in 2018.  The Argos will not let him out of his contract if he were to make an NFL team.  Wilder feels the risk to his health is not justified by a second year of CFL wages.  

Other teams are letting their players try out for the NFL.  Ambrosie has fined BC for letting Micah Awe go.

I will post the links in the next few days.
