Former Chicago Bear and Pittsburgh Steeler QB Kordell Stewart, may find some phone messages from Brendan Taman on his machine in the next few days. The Bomber GM has added the NFL veteran to his negotiation wish list, and is hoping that Stewart may wish to give the long and wide Canadian fields a try.
Taman subscribes to the nothing ventured nothing gained theory of Football management, and jumped at the name Stewart when he saw it come across the wire from Chicago. As the NFL heads into it's salary dump mode for the next couple of weeks, expect a few more long shots to be added to negotiation lists across the league.
Taman suffered a bit of a setback in the defense this week. When word got out that four year veteran Brian Clark is about to sign on with Matt Dunigan's Calgary Stampeders. He has however, done his best to make some other teams uncomfortable as well, inquiring about the chances of Joe Fleming in Calgary abandoning the F troop this year. He's also getting dirty looks from the Argos, as he tries to bring slotback Derrell Mitchell to the Big Blue for the 2004 season.
Manitoba Telephone may end up naming Taman as their customer of the year, by the time training camp opens up.
