Alouettes tailback Avon Cobourne -- the best skilled position player in the 2011 free agency class -- has left Montreal for a division rival.

Cobourne has agreed to a three-year deal with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, which includes a $55,000 signing bonus. His entire deal for next season can be worth as much as $130,000 if he hits his incentives.

It is expected that Argonauts defensive lineman Eric Taylor will be headed to the B.C Lions. -- although that is not quite done yet.
