VERO BEACH, Fla. – There’s no such thing as too much of a good thing for the Edmonton Eskimos.

But there are definitely too many, at the moment.

With 85 players currently under contract and just 75 openings for training camp, the Eskimos used the three-day mini-camp that wrapped up Tuesday at Historic Dodgertown to help decide whom they will have to let go as much as anything.

And that’s a good problem to have, as far as Ed Hervey is concerned.

The GM and vice-president of football ops kept a keen eye on the 54 American players brought into the evaluation camp, which included five sessions spread over three days.

“The purpose of the mini-camp is to get the evaluation,” Hervey said. “The coaches have a chance to evaluate the players along with everyone collectively.

“Sometimes you have various opinions of guys and that’s how you bring it all together.”

Just because they have left Florida doesn’t mean they are done with mini-camp just yet.
