I could add a couple of more things but I believe that my next sentence will better explain my position.
Right now the Skins should be posturing for the draft (they claim to want more picks) not just adding camp bodies. So either somebody believes that he is a viable replacement to a player or 2. Or somebody has their head up their ass. I believe that this guy is a camp body, but why add one now? There will be plenty of time for that later, especially after the draft.
Why this guy and why now? I understand the pickup of the Kicker, but this doesn't make sense yet.

Well, NFL (or maybe it's CFL) rules state that if any NFL team wants to sign a CFL player currently under contract to a CFL team to potentially add to their 2009 roster, they have to do it by the end of next week. I think maybe February 15th is the deadline.
That's why you see so many CFL players being signed around this time.
Whatever interest they have on him, they had to act on it now.
