According to the Spectator's Drew Edwards, former Saskatchewan Roughriders Defensive Lineman Stevie Baggs is about to sign with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Now, before we all get excited, let's wait until this becomes official. We all saw what happened this week with Ricky Foley and the Lions and Argos.
But for a second let's act like this is a done deal. Adding Stevie Baggs, a pass-rushing monster, is nothing short of awesome. An already great front four just got greater. Baggs will be a tremendous addition to the roster, and if he plays like he did last season in Saskatchewan, look out. With John Chick, they formed one of the most dominant D-Line tandems in recent CFL history. I cannot wait to see what Baggs will do for Garrett McIntyre.
I will provide a caution to all, myself included. The last two big-ticket free agents the Tiger-Cats signed after NFL cuts were Casey Printers (2007) and Kenton Keith (2008). To put it politely, those moves didn't work out. To put it honestly, they sucked. Hopefully, the Baggs signing will start a new trend.
Baggs is going to look very nice in Black & Gold. Welcome to Tigertown, Stevie.
