Vernon Adams Lands With CFL, Signs Three Year Deal With Montreal

Former Oregon Quartback Vernon Adams signs 3-year deal with Montreal, will play in the CFL.

Last week word came that former Oregon Ducks Quarterback Vernon Adams would be traded from the BC Lions to Montreal. It was good faith trade in that the Lions are already stacked at Quarterback and Montreal may have a need for one, with an aging QB at the helm as Starter this season. The trade was made and over the weekend Adams saw something that he had not in the US with the NFL. He saw a contract.

Montreal signed Vernon Adams to a three year deal. It was a gamble according to Yahoo Sports Canada since BC gave up a 2017 First Round Draft pick on the former Oregon QB, but the CFL plays differently than the NFL and the move should pay off. In looking at what the Alouettes have, there are plenty of Quarterbacks to go around, following the addition of Adams, they turned around and brought in two more Canadian prospects. Competition is never a bad thing, and with Adams skill set and drive he should in no means be counted out.

Montreal may have found their starter for the future in Adams, you don’t have to look far to see what he has accomplished. At the college level he weathered the transition to Division I and managed through injury to take Oregon to 9-4 throwing 26 touchdowns and 6 interceptions in 2015.
