I'm happy to be part of this organization and I'm looking forward to watching the team grow and get better for the future. I'm very proud to be part of a club that is run with a tremendous amount of class.

It was mutual. He understood we're not going to use him unless we're in dire straits. Hopefully, he'll get another job.

Dave came into the league with me in B.C. so it's great to have Double D back. We expect great things from him and believe he'll fit in well with our playing style.

We see a great athlete that can possibly play four positions. He has only played (two full) years of football. Plus, he can help us right away on (special) teams with his body type.

We slapped him on (the list) when he was placed on suspension. But we understand he's going to the NFL.

There are a lot of the red-shirts this year and a lot of them are really good.

There are guys out there and we'll find one.

We like his size, speed, ability and potential. He has got a lot of things that we like. He can run for a big dude.

We're like the Mounties...we got our man. We believe with his versatility, Stokes can bring an added dimension to our offence. He can play receiver, running back and return balls up the field to secure great field position for the team.

We had to send him back. His work visa was pending. He was on a temporary visa.
