The Lions are likely adding Ed Hervey to their front office, per sources.
Both Wally Buono and Ed Hervey were at Grey Cup in Ottawa and it’s well known that the two men have a good relationship.
The 44-year-old was out of football for the 2017 season after being let go by Edmonton in a surprising move last April. He has had discussions with a few CFL teams since.
The Eskimos went 4-14 in the first season with Hervey as general manager but he turned the team around going 36-18 from 2014-2016, Edmonton made it to the divisional final each of those seasons and won a Grey Cup in 2015.
Hervey spent his entire eight-year CFL playing career (1999-2006) with the Eskimos winning two Grey Cups in 2003 and 2005. He recorded 476 catches for 6,715 yards and 43 touchdowns in 118 games. Then he became a scout for Edmonton and ascended to the general manager position.
Sources say Buono has remained very quiet about his future.
