Brendan Taman still has plenty on his plate less than three weeks before the start of CFL free agency. cheapnfljerseyschinastore.us.com .The Saskatchewan GM has signed four pending free agents — including starting defensive linemen Tearrius George and Canadian Ricky Foley — but still has 19 players slated to hit the open market at noon ET on Feb. 10. That includes slotback Weston Dressler, offensive lineman Ben Heenan and safety Tyron Brackenridge, all major contributors to the Roughriders 2013 Grey Cup-winning team.Taman is hopeful he can re-sign one of those players before the deadline, possibly two. But Taman doesnt believe hell get all three before then because Heenan, a 24-year-old Regina native, has attracted significant NFL interest and Taman expects the six-foot-four, 310-pound tackle to test free agency.Two would be nice and one would be acceptable, I think, but theres a chance it could be zero, Taman said during a telephone interview Thursday. It all depends on how the whole business side works out in the next two weeks of negotiations.Were not going to get every guy back, we know that. Were just trying to minimize the hits on how many we lose and who it is.According to the CFL website, 30 of the 136 potential free agents have re-signed with their clubs. Nine have been released outright, with Toronto Argonauts cornerback Kalil Carter and Calgary Stampeders defensive lineman Shawn Lemon going on to sign NFL deals with Minnesota and Pittsburgh, respectively.On Thursday, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers released linebacker Ian Wild so he could pursue NFL opportunities.Montreal receiver Duron Carter (75 catches, 1,030 yards, seven TDs) and Hamilton all-star cornerback Delvin Breaux are among the remaining 97 pending free agents but both have worked out for multiple NFL clubs and are expected to sign in the U.S. Also garnering interest south of the border is Calgary centre Brett Jones, the leagues top lineman in 2014 whose CFL deal also expires next month.Saskatchewan leads the CFL with its 19 pending free agents. Taman said the Riders and Brackenridges camp have narrowed the gap in their talks but another factor in the process is determining how Brackenridge fits into new defensive co-ordinator Greg Quicks scheme.The six-foot, 189-pound Brackenridge had 64 tackles and three interceptions last season after earning CFL all-star honours in 13 .Taman said the Riders have made the 29-year-old Dressler a contract offer his representatives are currently mulling over. The five-foot-seven, 179-pound native of Bismarck, N.D., has spent his entire seven-year CFL career in Saskatchewan and the five-time 1,000-yard receiver is a huge fan favourite.Dressler had 27 catches for 320 yards and a TD last season, rejoining the Riders after being released by the NFLs Kansas City Chiefs.Weve made an offer, theyre going to sit on it for a while and take their time to go over their strategy and plan things out, Taman said. At the end of the day theyll let me know where theyre at but weve thrown it out at them.I think every year we go through this, we have two or three guys that are pretty significant guys who can hit the market. Some weve kept, some we havent and this year is no different. If we lose all three, we just have to move on and figure out how to win games without them. Were hoping we dont get to that point with all three of them but if we do, we do.Another interesting potential free agent is running back Jerome Messam. The 29-year-old Toronto native, who grew up in Brampton, Ont., averaged a solid 5.5 yards per carry last season but only had 70 rushing attempts.The six-foot-three, 245-pound Messam was the CFLs top Canadian in 2011 when he ran for 1,057 yards with Edmonton. He has rushed for 1,115 yards the last three seasons combined with the Eskimos, Montreal and Saskatchewan but has averaged a solid 4.8 yards per carry.Last year, the Riders used multiple running backs as Anthony Allen rushed for a team-high 930 yards. Will Ford (452 yards), Messam and Hugh Charles (86 yards) also saw action in former offensive co-ordinator George Cortezs scheme.Fortunately for Saskatchewan, new offensive co-ordinator Jacques Chapdelaine is familiar with Messam from their days together with the B.C. Lions.Jerome is a talented kid and hes Canadian, Taman said. Hes got a lot of value but some teams might think that to.When he did play significant time I thought he did pretty well but there were reasons why he didnt play in the other games. Thats obviously a coaching thing weve got to sort through.Jacques has some familiarity with him from B.C. so I think theres some comfort there but again its up to me to try and get him back. cheapnfljerseyschinastore .C. -- Former world and Canadian curling champion Kelly Scott is making changes to her team. www.cheapnfljerseyschinastore.us.com . Ray gave up one run in his major league debut and got plenty of run support, especially from Miguel Cabrera, to help Detroit rout the Houston Astros 11-4 on Tuesday night for its season-high seventh straight win.Greetings folks! Here are five thoughts on the NBA for today. 1. J.R. Smith (Knicks) - An interesting signing by New York. He can shot and he can score. He can also be a bit immature and Im being kind. Roll of the dice here. If hes right, he can provide much needed scoring and distance shooting after returning from China. A system like Mike DAntonis will be fun for him to play in. Risk vs. Reward signing that could pay off if he stays in line. 2. Nikola Pekovic (TWolves) - Has replaced the legendary Darko in the Lineup and hes paying huge dividends. Rugged and tough - battles on the boards and has a decent offensive game. Good motor and with the opportunity to play and play thru mistakes, hes carving out a nice role for Rick Adelman. 3. Kenyon Martin (Clippers) - Not the player he once was but provides experience, savvy and solid skill in the post. Still has a good offensive game. His presence in the absence of Chauncey Billups gives another steady skilled player to Vinny Del Negro with his second unit. That will help come playoff time. 4. Lawrence Frank (Pistons) - Have won three in a row and finally clicking. His attention to detail always has been his calling card. A roster in maajor transition, trying to blend the old with the new isnt easy. http://www.cheapnfljerseyschinastore.us.com/. Nice win yesterday vs. the Celtics. Guarding better and ball is being shared. Looking more and more like a team and thankfully no drama like last year. 5. Raptors At The Halfway Point - After Wednesday nights game vs. Detroit, the Raps will have 33 of their 66 games under their belts. Its been a tough year with only nine wins - not unexpected. Injury to Andrea Bargnani has totally changed the look of the team. Only three wins without him. Dwane Casey has gotten them to play defense harder for longer periods. Bottom line, and this is an understatement, this will be a HUGE off-season in the draft, free agency and trade market for the franchise. Looks like a fourth straight year without a playoff berth (again, not unexpected) and fans can live with that now but this time next year the expectations will grow and the talent level has to grow big-time and internal improvement of returning players has to happen in the off-season as well as in the second half of season with guys like Ed Davis, DeMar DeRozan and Co. to set the stage for the turnaround. Can it happen? Sure! The final 33 games will tell Bryan Colangelo a whole lot about who he should keep/move and what big/medium size moves need to be made. Not an enviable position. cheap jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
