Remember Jesse Lumsden?
It's highly unlikely that any of these CFL guys will make our 53 man roster next season. They most likely represent added competition in camp, but nothing more. They're worth taking a flyer on, because hey you never know if you can unearth a gem. But nobody should get their hopes up on that one.
We'll get better players with our 6th and 7th round picks.

Also, another point. Adding guys like this can be good for the attitude of your football team. They're young and hungry, and willing to do anything to make a team and make an impression. They're guaranteed to bring their lunchpails every day. So even if they're just around for camp and then gone come September, sometimes their workmanlike attitude can be contagious in training camp.
Rock Cartwright kind of guys

We've also resigned OL Kili Lefotu - the first of our 7th round draft picks from 2006 - to a three year contract.
He was the guy who collapsed in the dorm at Training Camp last year and was put into hospital.

Cox signs with Skins (http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/sports/story.html?id=e2f63541-93c3-44d2-b7a0-65b130507778)
Even while he was starring with the Alouettes as a rookie last season, defensive-back Chip Cox always kept the National Football League in his rear-view mirror and vowed he would return.
Why are we signing these dudes???

Do you read through threads, or just respond to the first post you see?
There are a good five posts in this thread explaining exactly why we'd want to sign guys like this.
