Vaughn, who signed with Edmonton in 1999 after four seasons in Calgary (’95-’98), leaves second on the Eskimos’ career receiving list with 545 receptions and 7681 yards. He is also the Eskimo record holder or is tied in numerous categories including receptions in a season (106), consecutive seasons with 1000+ receiving yards (6), and receiving yards in a game (275).

Unless the team is eager to dump him and his fat contract, which is disappointing. What can others tell us about Loftus, more than what has been reported here? Age? Has he been an all-star? Details please?

Nope. More stupid crap from the Eskimos front office. Big surprise.

Re: TERRY VAUGHN WITH THE ALOUETTES

We gave up Terry Vaughn for a player we had absolutly NO need for whatsoever!!!?!?!? and a draft pick on top of it? What the ****! The pencil-necked front office mother-****ers!!! GAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! This is insane. First Coach hires crummy coaches and leaves our defence in the hands of an incompetent fool, then this?!! I want Higgins back!

Ok, calmer, but this is just dumb. Why for a safety that we have no need for? Why for a guy who might not even make the team plus we lose a draft pick? This has to be the dumbest trade I've seen in a long time.

This is s**t. They just improved the Als..one of the EE's biggest rivals. If no one wanted to take on TV's salary then they should of just kept him and made it work.

Esk were not drawing what they wanted for TV an they took the best they could get, Loftus asked the Als to trade him, you get a good player.

Re: TERRY VAUGHN WITH THE ALOUETTES

Regardless of our record this upcoming season, we need a housecleaning at the Eskimos office beyond support staff (who do a great job by the way). I'm sick of being pissed off all the time. Let's start with anyone whose last name is Campbell.

Re: TERRY VAUGHN WITH THE ALOUETTES
