Anyone smell a deal cooking?

It would seem the Edmonton Eskimos are very much in the market for experienced offensive linemen, with the announced retirements today of Kevin Lefsrud, Bruce Beaton and Chris Morris. Now, despite having a few young prospects in the wings, with the money the "Evil Empire" has invested in quarterback Ricky Ray you have to think Edmonton is looking for help on the O-line!

I wonder if the Saskatchewan Roughriders would be interested in dealing someone like Fred Childress, Andrew Greene or Rob Lazeo to the Eskies? I guess that would depend on the progression over the past year of prospects like Chris Best and Matt O'Meara. Also, what would the Eskies be offering in return? A non-import receiver (Pat Woodcock?), or a defensive lineman to back up Nate Davis and Scott Schultz in the middle would be nice.

Interesting times!

Interesting take. Likely won't happen though. Who knows?

Dare to dream, I suppose. It'd be nice to have them over a barrel for once to repay them for sending us Nealon!
