Keep him out of the clutches of the Riders and Lions was important for the Edmonton for sure. Franklin may wait to see what the market is like and cash in, but there may be some attraction for him of starting out east and away from the fishbowl that is Rider Nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-24889001544313450752017-12-11T15:39:35.392-06:002017-12-11T15:39:35.392-06:00

He stays on the roster until that date. <br /><br />You are right in saying they acquire the rights, but this means Toronto now has the chance to sign him and not Edmonton. The Eskimos can no longer try to negotiate a deal with him. <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-75591982896485145282017-12-11T14:05:13.647-06:002017-12-11T14:05:13.647-06:00Not quite Mitch...

Should he reach free agency, he’s expected to be one of the most coveted players on the open market.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
