The Lions wrapped up their second Free Agent Camp Sunday in Las Vegas, where head coach Jeff Tedford, GM Wally Buono and members of the club’s football operations staff put their evaluation skills to test.
“We had some very skilled players come out today including some players from our negotiation list that did not disappoint,” reports VP of football operations and GM Wally Buono. “It was another good camp and it gives us some key information heading into a very critical part of the year.”
Close to 30 players took advantage of warm temperatures and a fast-track to try and earn a training camp invite from the club. The weather, which topped out at +25° was certainly an upgrade from Friday’s workout in Dallas where Buono, head coach Jeff Tedford and their staff were greeted by a snow-covered field and temperatures in the single digits.
“This has been a very fruitful weekend,” said Tedford, after attending his first two evaluation camps as head coach. “We have a vision of the kind of team we want to build heading into the season and these camps are critical to building depth and making sure every position on the field is ultimately filled by the very best player available.”
The club’s crew of coaches and scouts return home this evening and will venture out again later in the month as the CFL holds Regional Combines for Canadian draft-eligible players in Edmonton and Montreal ahead of the main CFL Combine in Toronto on March 28 and 29.
The club will also host three more free agent camps in Atlanta, Washington D.C. and Seattle in coming weeks.
