Two ex-Bulls on CFL rosters

[GarySJ]

Greg Walls is on the training camp roster of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. No photo yet but a brief bio: http://www.ticats.com/index.php?module=PostWrap&page=GregWalls

Joe Morgan spent the 2003 season playing special teams for Winnipeg. He was 4th on the team in special teams tackles. He was born in Ontario so he qualifies as a "non-import" player. His bio: http://www.bluebombers.com/index/Morgan_Joe

No other Bulls are currently on any CFL rosters per cfl.ca. LaFann Williams played briefly with Calgary, and Demetrious Woods (remember him?) went to camp with Montreal a couple times.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have announced the signing of import wide receiver LAMAR SLADE and import defensive tackle GREG WALLS to the club’s training camp roster.

Slade, who played in a total of 44 games, starting in 19, with the University of Pittsburgh, is described as a possession receiver who uses his 6 foot 4 size to great advantage. He completed his college career with 93 catches for 1,083 yards and 7 touchdowns. The Yorktown, Virginia native attended the NFL Pittsburgh Steelers training camp as an undrafted free agent in 2003. Slade’s brother, Chris, has been an NFL linebacker since 1993, playing eight years with the New England Patriots and one season with the Carolina Panthers.

Defensive tackle prospect, Greg Walls, is a product of the University of South Florida. The 6 foot, 288 pound Florida native is described as quick off the ball and a player whose motor runs on “high!†Walls completed his senior year at South Florida with 53 tackles, 5 quarterback sacks, one interception and a forced fumble.

The Tiger-Cats also announced today that contract extensions have been inked by five veteran players. Included in the group are defensive end Joe Montford, quarterback Danny McManus, running back Troy Davis, slotback Archie Amerson and centre Carl Coulter. The contract extensions cover the 2004 and 2005 seasons.
