Are there any other players from last year's team who signed free agent contracts? Are there any that are going on to play in the CFL or arena?

I know Brock was working on getting into a camp this weekend. Mike hasn't heard anything yet, and I haven't talked to Dominic.

And Lambros is going to the CFL?

[Sly Fox]

Matt had an impressive camp up in the Great White North so I anticipate he'll sign there. I wouldexpect Brock, Mike & Dom to all get rookie camp invites.

I read somewhere that Collin Drafts from CSU is a FA for the SF 49'ers.

I just remembered Matt Lambros telling me that the CFL Draft was a week after the NFL Draft. Here's a link to the CFL draft. I believe I heard the guy say that Matt will be an early pick. They had a short clip on Matt making a catch!! WOOHOO!!! They also mentioned that the 1st & 2nd rounds of their draft will be aired on TSN, May 2nd.

That was actually Dobson Collins WR from G-Webb that signed with the 49ers.

Spoke to Eddie Pinigis at the Spring game and he mentioned he may be trying out with the CFL.

That's funny. Matt's played one game in the pros and he's already caught more TD's there than he caught in college.

Here is the catch at the 1:52 mark http://watch.tsn.ca/cfl-news-and-highli ... clip189395

This is not a knock on Matt, and I'm really happy for him, but I guess this gives us a bit of an idea of the level of play up there in Canada. Kid couldn't get on the field for a very good but far from elite FCS program, and he is playing and scoring a touchdown in his first game as a rookie in the CFL.

[SuperJon]

It also shows the difference in the game. They use a bigger ball in Canada, one that he was much more used to playing with than the ball we use here.

good write up on the argo's website

[Libertine]

Matt was a decent talent at this level but he had a knack for untimely injuries. He was poised to have a breakout year in 08 but hurt two body parts on the same play in the preseason and, by the time he came back, he was way down the depth chart.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him do well in Canada. He's a bigger target than CFL QB's are used to having and the game is played on a bigger field so he has more space to work with.

Interesting write-up on Lambros from CANOE. Kid's pretty tough.

Lambros in tough with Argos

By LANCE HORNBY, SUN MEDIA

Calgarian Matt Lambros’ first CFL catch was a Canada Day touchdown, but his good luck is truly defined by the cross-shaped surgical star on his pelvis.

That’s where two surgeries were required to remove a large tumour from his stomach that was detected in his teen years.

Amid all the bizarre plays in the Argos’ opener in Hamilton — kicker Eddie Johnson’s separated shoulder on the first play, the brawl triggered by a late hit on quarterback Kerry Joseph and Arland Bruce’s controversial Michael Jackson tribute, came Joseph’s 22-yard fling to Lambros, who had made the game roster as a backup because of injuries.

“Definitely a dream come true,” Lambros said. “I had to watch the film a couple of times to make sure it really happened. It was a play I’ve run in camp a lot so I felt really comfortable. We got the coverage we expected, I gave (a Ticats defensive back) a quick move to the outside and as soon as I saw his hips bite, I turned upfield and Kerry just put the ball in a great spot.

“You go back a week before when I thought I would be on the practice roster, then not only playing, but getting a TD. The emotion I had was pretty crazy. My parents were in Calgary watching on TV. Dad was happy, but my brother is the big fan and even more pumped. I was texting with everyone in the family.”
