Reports out of Toronto on Friday morning suggested that the man who has led the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for five seasons, Kevin Glenn, will be Argo bound.
The Argos claim they have an interest in the Blue Bombers quarterback who is now, officially on the trade block. Argos GM Adam Rita has always admired Glenn (Glenn was an Argo for a few minutes in May of 2004 when the Bombers acquired him in a deal with Toronto) and would like to have him in Toronto this spring to challenge Kerry Joseph for the starting job.
On Thursday, Bombers head coach Mike Kelly told Tom, Joe and the Coach on 92-CITI-FM that he expects lefty Stefan LeFors and veteran Ryan Dinwiddie to battle for the Bombers’ No. 1 job at training camp in June. Kelly also said that there was no possible way a Kevin Glenn-for-Casey Printers deal would ever be made.
“Casey Printers is not coming to Winnipeg.” Kelly said bluntly.
So that leaves Toronto, one of the two places Glenn told Kelly he’d like to play.
The LeFors/Dinwiddie move will either be brilliant or the second coming of T.J. Rubley. However, to be fair, Coach Kelly is a quarterback expert and Bomber fans should probably give him the benefit of the doubt.
One of the many reasons Kelly was brought to Winnipeg was his ability to judge the talent of and subsequently work with, quarterbacks. He knows what he wants and like many Bomber fans, that’s not Kevin Glenn.
