Quick Study: B.C. Lions sign former Tiger-Cats receiver Terrell Sinkfield
SURREY, B.C. — Contemplating a CFL return, Terrell Sinkfield made sure he did his homework.
The speedy receiver was cut by the Minnesota Vikings at the tail end of training camp last month and could have signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, the team he starred for north of the border last season.
But while talking to players around the league and mulling over a couple of offers, Sinkfield was intrigued by what he was hearing about the B.C. Lions. He eventually decided the club was the right fit and agreed to a contract for the remainder of the 2016 season that was finalized late last week and announced Monday.
“I did a lot of research,” Sinkfield said after his first practice. “I was watching videos of what was going on here and I saw that they kind of had the Hamilton atmosphere that we had when we were going on winning streaks and making it to the Grey Cup and doing all the good things.
