Report: Alouettes to sign 'dynamic' Adams over weekend

Whatever terms the BC Lions were unwilling to give quarterback Vernon Adams on a contract seem to be just fine with the Montreal Alouettes.

Hours after the Als traded their 2017 first-round draft pick to the Lions in exchange for Adams, NFL Network's Ian Rapaport reports that the Oregon product will put pen to paper on a deal with Montreal at some point over the weekend.

Upon completing the trade, Alouettes general manager Jim Popp described Adams as a "dynamic player," adding that giving up the first-rounder for the unproven pivot is "definitely well worth the risk."

Popp added that he tried to consummate a trade for Adams before this year's CFL draft, but evidently failed in that attempt.

Montreal is expected to go into the season with Kevin Glenn as its starting quarterback, but the 36-year-old is seen as more of a short-term answer, rather than a long-term one.

Adams - who began his NCAA career at Eastern Washington - played as a senior at Oregon last year and threw for 2,643 yards, 26 touchdowns, and six interceptions.
