Surprise Cut – JoJuan Armour Gone
In an apparent 'culmination of events' the Calgary Stampeders released veteran middle-linebacker JoJuan Armour due to an on field incident that happened Friday.
The team made the announcement on Monday, a day before their pre-season finale Tuesday in Regina.
Armour, 32, was involved in an on-field incident during the Stamps’ practice on Friday that prompted Stamps coach and GM John Hufnagel to end practice early. He was entering his second season in Calgary.
With Armour gone, that opens the door for Lemarcus Rowell and rookie Tray Blackmon to replace Armour in the middle of the linebacking corps.
Here is a link to Al Cameron's thoughts. This one will be tough to sell to fans if the Stamps can't fill the middle linebacker position effectively early in the season.
