H-3 The GAZETTE, Montreal, Saturday, May 7, 1983 Fouts unsigned by Chargers 'Cordes sign free-agent Carteri despite GFL 'blackball' tactics All-Pro free agent, but an impasse has been reached between the club and Fouts, represented by agent Howard Slusher. Fouts was in town for the Chargers' three-day mini-camp, but he was not agreement reached the Monday before the draft," Klein said. Klein said he was certain that both sides were "honestly interpreting" their respective understandings of the former agreement in principle on a new contract for the SAN DIEGO (UPI) The San Diego Chargers and unsigned quarterback Dan Fouts broke off contract talks yesterday, Gene Klein, owner of the National Football League team announced. "There is a wide divergence of opinion on the verbal it i 1 If trL arm Carteri, a free-agent linebacker wbo signed a three-year contract with the, Montreal Concordes, said many Canadian Football League (CFL) players wfi play out their option are "basically by CFL front offices. Carteri, who played out his option after two seasons in Hamilton, however, said he does not consider apparent CFL chumminess on the question of signing noncompensation free agents as collusion.

2iThat's not the word I'd use," he said at 1C Montreal press conference yesterday at which he was handed Tom Cousi-neau's old number, 45. "I'm probably in enough trouble anyway. GMs can get together "But I know that CFL players are very skeptical of becoming free agents. The eight other general managers in the league have a very negative approach to signing another team's free agents. Montreal was the only team in this league that expressed any real interest in me.

"I can't say it's not worth playing out your option because it worked for me, but it seems a lot of people who do are basically blackballed. That's something the CFL can do easily enough. There are only nine teams, and the general managers can get together easily enough." The Toronto Argonauts are the only team other than the Concordes to sign a free agent belonging to another team under the no-compensation rule. Other teams, especially General Manager Jack Gotta of the Calgary Stampeders, have gone on record as criticizing free agency because of a supposed imbal- cordes' director of player personnel. "I don't want to be on the soup line in two years, and you stay off by having a winning team.

If a free agent is going to help us, we'll go after him." Concordes' Coach Joe Galat echoed the teams' commitment to build ty any means available, although he doubted any collusive policy In the league towards free agents. "I don't know if there is anything under the table," said the portly Galat "I've never been under the table. You can tell I spend all my time over the table." At outside linebacker Galat said Carteri, who played at the University of Montana and two seasons with Regina before being traded to Hamilton, will fill one of the outside linebacker jobs in the 3-4 defensive alignment the team adopted late last season. The Concordes also announced the signing of Mark Hopkins, a York University linebacker who was the team's first choice in the 1983 college draft; Todd Brown, a Wayne Gretzky look-alike wide receiver from the University of Nebraska; offensive lineman Doug Smith, reacquired three weeks ago from Toronto, and defensive backfield coach Doug Ritchie, formerly head coach of Fairmont State College in West Virginia. Another import wide receiver, Clinton Sampson of San Diego State, is being courted in Montreal by the Concordes.

Sampson was a third-round choice of the Denver Broncos in the National Football League draft.

"Certain internal changes are to be instituted which should contribute toward a more effective and cohesive football operation," he said.

"Our goal remains to provide this city with a championship calibre team as quickly as possible." In a related matter, Jauch and Federals' General Manager Dick Myers announced Terry Metcalf will soon take on an active role in the area of player Ray Jauch is our head coach. "No more need be said." Quoting an unnamed league source, a newspaper this week reported Jauch, who left the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL after last season and has a guaranteed a three-year contract worth $575,000, would lose his job if the team did not show a turnaround. While Bernhard denied Jauch was on the way out, he did say some changes will be made on the team. WASHINGTON (AP) Washington Federals' Owner Berl Bernhard denied reports yesterday he plans to fire Head Coach Ray Jauch if the United States Football League team, which has won just once in nine starts, doesn't improve. "For the past four days I have engaged in an exacting appraisal of our football program," Bernhard said.
