Well at least he's going to get some playing time... he's still a young guy, I think he'll get another chance somewhere if he's productive over there. The talent is definately there...

HAMILTON (CP) - The Hamilton Tiger-Cats bolstered their receiving corps Wednesday, signing former NFL wideout Talman Gardner to a one-year contract Wednesday with an option for 2007.

The six-foot-one receiver spent the past three seasons with New Orleans, playing in 21 games for the Saints. "Talman is a player I have watched since he played collegiately at Florida State and then during his years with the Saints," Tiger-Cats director of player personnel Craig Smith said in a statement. "With his size and speed, Talman has the chance to step in and be a contributor for us right away."

Gardner, 25, played in 11 games for New Orleans in 2005, and had one reception for 23 yards.

I talked to him monday and he told me he was not playing WR anymore he was going up there to play SAFETY I told him he was losing his damn mind he will never make it back in the NFL playing safety. Let me know what yall think about that and I will call him an let him know how everybody feel about him playing safety he's my cousin so I have to support him either way it go so good luck T I know he gonna be cold lmao

If Talman likes to hit (really hit) and he thinks he can make the transition, then the CFL would be a good place to learn the trade. It certainly makes him more valuable if a team is in need of backups - safeties go down often in the NFL. Big and fast is the current fad in safeties these days. He's certainly going to get a lot of playing time, Hamilton's D sucks.

That's pretty crazy... has he no confidence in his hands?

I dont htink he ws telling the truth when he told me that he was playing Safety I think he will be losing his mind if he was to do that I think he is a godd WR but haslett never gave him the chance so if he gets back into the league he will play WR hopefully.
