The Washington Redskins have signed CFL OL Jonta Woodard to a 2006 contract valued at $235,000.

We seem to be having a close look at the players in the CFL this year - I read about a punter we were looking at earlier last week. Is this a new source of prospects for us or have we been to this well before?

I have watched a lot of Canadian University football. I am from Nova Scotia and have seen some of Canada's best talent. It is never comparable to NCAA. Not even close. But Jesse Lumsden ran through defences all season. The other teams would put 10 men in the box (you can have 12 on the field in Canadian ball) and he would still fight off linebackers and tear off terrific runs. I love this signing just because it would be a great story. He made it past the first round of cuts with the Seahawks last year.
However, there are way too many question marks surrounding him.
-He played at a lower competition level
-The Canadian field is bigger, runners usually have a higher yards per carry average
-The Redskins have very capable runningbacks in Betts, Cartwright, and Broughton. However, did I here correctly that Cartwright and Betts might both be leaving? Did Cartwright say that most likely Broughton will take his spot. And I thought Jake said that Betts is a UFA and might not be resigned.

I thought he was but I was wrong. Someone told me he's a FA next year.

True, I live in tampa, very close to the stadium and I HATE the Suckaneers. So, I could care less what moves they are making.
