The Alouettes' Adrian MacPherson wants out: http://www.montrealgazette.com/sports/Alouettes+Adrian+McPherson+requests+trade/2439062/story.html
Long story short: he wants to play, and realizes he isn't going to in Montreal anytime soon. He isn't being particularly whiny or difficult about it - the man just wants to play. Fair enough.
Problem is, where do you go? He's under contract, so a trade would be necessary. Through the miracle of mathematics, we can determine there are seven possibilities:
NOT HAPPENING:
Hamilton - Just re-signed Kevin Glenn and Quinton Porter. Don't see MacPherson as an obvious upgrade over either.
Calgary - Not going to beat out Henry Burris.
Edmonton - Not going to beat out Ricky Ray.
Saskatchewan - Darian Durant will be playing in Regina as long as he wants to.
UNLIKELY:
BC - They've got more than enough to pick from already. Could conceivably happen if MacPherson is content to "challenge" for the starting job. Then again, the way the Lions go through quarterbacks, he's likely to play - at least more than in Montreal.
MAYBE:
Toronto - It's hard to judge the guys they have now (Kerry Joseph and Cody Pickett) based on the last two years, but I'm not so sure the Argos' issues can be traced to the quarterback. Toronto doesn't have many assets to begin with, so the Als wouldn't get much back - and they're hardly likely to do division rivals any favours.
BEST GUESS:
Winnipeg - I don't think anyone sees Michael Bishop as a long-term solution. Until they get a staff in place, your guess is as good as mine.
