TIGER-CATS LAND ALL-STAR GOODSPEED

Hamilton, Ontario – The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced today that the team has acquired import offensive lineman Dan Goodspeed and a fifth-round selection in the 2009 CFL Canadian Draft from the Saskatchewan Roughriders in exchange for non-import offensive lineman Jordan Rempel and the Ticats second-round selection in the 2009 Draft.

“Dan is an experienced, veteran player who has distinguished himself as one of top offensive linemen in the league,” said general manager Bob O’Billovich. “His leadership, intelligence and aggressive play will make him a significant addition to our offence.”

Goodspeed, a 6-6, 313-pound native of Cleveland, Ohio was named the 2007 East Division Outstanding Lineman and earned a spot on the CFL and East Division All-Star teams in 2007 and 2008 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Goodspeed started 57 regular season games and four postseason games over the last four seasons with the Bombers after signing as a free agent in July of 2005.

Prior to joining the CFL, the Kent State product spent time with five NFL teams as well as the XFL’s Orlando Rage.

Goodspeed was acquired by Saskatchewan in a trade with Winnipeg earlier on Wednesday.

How good Are we now .. not too good but not too bad

This years Ticats Team should be better then last two ..

That is not saying much 4 wins makes them better .
But Bombers and Argo Doing Major Overalls
Hamilton Can't help but be Better
I see 6 to 10 wins
No more no less
this should be good Enough for 2ND in East
Behind only The Real good Team in The East Montreal

Hamilton will be a Mediocre Middle of Pack Team Good as Saskatchewan or Edmonton
But not bad as The Bombers who will Challenge for 3rd
Really not as bad as Sinking Argo ship.(What is Argo Management Thinking )
There are being Turned into NFL Europa Toronto.
Note to you coach Argo Fans this not the NFL or The dead Europa League.



The Ticats have done little to fix The Glaring Problems on This Team
No Vet Depth at WR Yet ( I like see Flick or another WR in Camp)
No Good Dlineman Tom Canada and Cory Mace Are Still out there this would Help.
Also there still a Problem on Offence at 1 of the Tackle spots

The QB Spot is being Trusted to all most a Rookie QB (Porter to me still is one)and QB who had 1 Good season.
Glen Can be counted on I don't think so .
The Cats will make it the Playoff Dance Cause other Teams East are worst then Them.
no one will ask to Dance past the 1st Round Cause just not that good.

TIGER-CATS SIGN VETERAN QB KEVIN GLENN

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced today that the team has signed import quarterback Kevin Glenn.

Glenn, a 5-10, 203-pound native of Detroit, Michigan has played eight CFL seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders (2001-03) and Winnipeg Blue Bombers (2004-08). In 132 career games, Glenn has thrown for 20,339 yards and 109 touchdowns while adding 939 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns.

The Illinois State product enjoyed his most successful season in 2007, when he was named the East Division's Most Outstanding Player and an East Division all-star after leading the league with 5,114 passing yards while also registering 25 touchdown passes. Glenn led the Bombers to a 10-7-1 record and a berth in the 2007 Grey Cup final, but was unable to play in the championship game after suffering an arm injury in Winnipeg's East Semi-Final win over Toronto.

TIGER-CATS WELCOME BRANDON GUILLORY TO TIGERTOWN

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced today that the team has signed free agent import defensive end Brandon Guillory.

"Brandon is a quick, athletic defensive end who has the ability to come off the edge and put some pressure on opposing quarterbacks," said general manager Bob O'Billovich. "He was a very productive player in Edmonton and we're confident that his size, speed and experience will strengthen our defence."

Guillory, a 6-4, 253-pound native of New Orleans, Louisiana led the Edmonton Eskimos with six quarterback sacks in 2008, while adding 21 defensive tackles and two pass knockdowns in 11 games.
