Ticats trade for Arland Bruce

A source with knowledge of the situation has confirmed that Argo wide receiver Arland Bruce has been traded to the Ticats for the rights to non-import defensive tackle Corey Mace and a draft pick. 

The deal will be announced officially later this morning.

Mace has been attempting to sign with another National Football League club but as training camps open, still finds himself without a team.

The Tiger-Cats acquired his rights as part of the deal that sent linebacker Zeke Moreno to Winnipeg.

Tiger-Cat officials declined to comment last night after telling The Spectator on Monday that a deal for Bruce wasn't imminent.

A Canadian Football League source requesting anonymity said last night the Argos were in serious talks to trade the receiver to arch-rival Hamilton. The source added the deal could be completed as early as today.
