That is a friendly price... 

I thought he would go at least $180k even pushing to $200k. He's a baller, young and I don't think he's hit his ceiling yet. 

Get a room. Argos suck.

Indicates what a rudderless ship Hamilton actually is in terms of player personnel, they've been throwing money at their D-line every year since they first signed Ja'Gared Davis in 2019.  Same thing over and over, they sign multiple FA stars from other teams searching for solutions, yet never get closer to establishing a top front 4.  Maybe this year will be different now that Ed Hervey is in charge! 😄

Oakman would be a nice stop gap...give us 2 freaks along the dline and I bet the culture and the room here would set him on the path to a big season...I'd be fine with that

I don't care where it comes from (rookie or free agency), I just want to see one powerful boat anchor of a man lining up at defensive tackle this season.

My mom says you're wrong.

Not difficult to have seen this outcome coming.
We had lots of guys on first time contracts that were due a raise. We had several guys who were to be "best in category free agents". We had depth enough to field two teams and compete (which we did. So with the realities of the cap upon us, Pinball/Magri/Russell have chosen to put their faith in their recruiting. They've been ridiculously good at it, so I can't even second guess them. But losing 5 defensive starters, 2 key offensive contributors and the best 2 ST guys in the league is a BIG ask.

Not that it matters but I was hoping strev would take #16. It’s just such a perfect QB number, I can’t explain why. 
Same reason fast RB’s should be #22 and power backs #32. It used to drive me nuts that Freddy Reid wore 32 lol 

Well, one thing that helps the argos is having John Murphy digging up players he is the CFL talent scout equivalent of a truffle pig. The guy is a tremendous talent scout, but has a personality of said truffle pig.  The argos will still bring in great talent into the league, they will be fine.
 
Side note... every time I see a pic of Murphy, I am ALWAYS reminded of Pvt. Lawrence's final scene in Full Metal Jacket.

According to CFL Nation, Argos management has a plan. What the plan is nobody knows...

You think they go 8-0 to start the year?

Says a guy leaves a hole but literally never played. 
I’m writing a blog post for 3DN:
Noeller has retired from pro-football. Leaves a hole in the Kansas City lineup. 

Seriously tho

******* Canadian mafia

If the gappers were a currency they would be an Iranian Rial. Or a Vietnamese Dong 😉

I appreciate you folks keeping politics out of our football forum 😉

"Hufnagel has left the building."

Now hearing DB Demerio Houston has agreed in principle to a two-year deal with Calgary that has a total guaranteed figure exceeding $275k, making him one of the league’s highest-paid defensive backs.
 
what in the actual **** lol
Actually been a fan of his for a while

he is undersized for a center...and wayyyyyy under sized for guard....and would never be a tackle....so that signing still baffles me....he got bullied around a lot last yr, and it affected the whole interior...could just imagine the numbers BO would have put up had Eli been in all yr getting in a groove...Maybe that was Osh plan all along...field an inferior oline to limit the production for contract time

Desjarais as well tho doesnt look worth that money...was he a success story here due to who he played with?...like Chungh before him?

Every league, every level has RB valued very low because of the ability to plug and play another guy at all times. I think you are under rating the value that the game plan, and blockers have had on our success. You plug in Brown, or really most of the other top 10 backs in the league you don't see a dip in rushing yards. You might not have the ability to grind out the clock, or block, or pass catch etc. But the rb talent pool is what it is. 

Agree with the bolded- but I was hoping to flip the RB position and go Import... 

I love Brady and really wanted him back, just not at that price. I don't feel a RB is ultimately worth it. Hope I'm wrong.
