Alouettes acquire rights to ex-Oregon QB Adams
MONTREAL -- The Montreal Alouettes acquired the Canadian Football League rights to former Oregon quarterback Vernon Adams on Friday from the British Columbia Lions for a first-round pick next year.
Can't wait to get to Montreal. #Alouettes \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffd\ud83c\udfc8 Thank you God.
The 5-foot-11 Adams had unsuccessful recent tryouts with the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and Washington Redskins. After moving to Oregon from Eastern Washington last season as a graduate transfer, he completed 168 of 259 passes for 2,643 yards and 26 touchdowns with only six interceptions in 10 starts for the Ducks.
Montreal has much-travelled Kevin Glenn as its likely starter.
