According to this article from the Vancouver Sun, BC non-import defensive end Ricky Foley will work out for the NY Jets and could be the next CFLer to head down to the NFL. This would certainly be unfortunate for the Lions as one could make an argument that Foley is the most valuable non-quarterback player in the CFL. Foley led the league with 12 sacks and more critically is a Canadian in a typically import position, and at 27 with only one year of starting is still in his prime. More strangely, he played his university ball at OUA joke York.
Saskatchewan defensive end John Chick has already signed with the Colts and Foley mentions that Rider defensive lineman Stevie Baggs will also probably sign in the NFL. Devastating for the Riders and Lions and thus it could end up next year Hamilton's somewhat anonymous defensive line (which is in no danger of losing players to the NFL) could end up being one of the league's better units.
