But... We got Drew Willy for that guy! I never want to see guys leave us and career years, but I have to say that the guys we let go (because basically, we just let them all leave...) they're all pretty good and definitely don't suck.

You want us to trade them all twice?

Extend. Then renegotiate. Rinse. Repeat.

NGL, the pussycats actually look like the value bet there.

Edmonton and Hamilton will obviously be better. They've each added 4 Argos. Ottawa and Saskatchewan will only be a little better having only added 2.

Oh I agree about his potential. But his resume is pretty thin. He was a PR guy that had the fortune to become Kelly's favorite target when they were both backups.

You think? I think Coxie did very well on that.

I thought you just did it with the visor.

You have to install the tinted visor on a helmet before checking a wall's structural integrity.

That'd barely get you a fun-sized bag these days

That's where I am. Fair play to the Champions, but I don't see them as better than us in any way other than the result of the East Final. Yeah, that too. And lets remember that Ouellette, Peters, Hendrix etc were unknown FAs just a year or two ago.

We have 3 interior DL studs under contract, so it'll be fine. Like I said, the only sport that we didn't have a top quality backup was cover LB. So right now looking at our team, that position and its backup is our biggest hole.

We pretty much were built by recruitment and free agency, so... There's reason to think we're still the team to beat in our division. We have a star QB. All 7 of the best O-Line are back. We have very strong Canadian players and depth. All of the departed players (save one) had a backup that demonstrated over the final third of the season that they are starter calibre on a winning club. Circle of life.

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.

No evidence to support the Argos adding payroll.

Deonta McMahon. Excellent for change-of-pace. Not an every down back, imo. Also Jevon Leake (gone). But it is Adeboboye that may take the job. Applying for a TSN gig?

Is it weird to go 16-2 and then rebuild? We so far have lost the league's best Cover LB, DB (and maybe the 2nd best as well), Kicker, Import RB and Returner...

Maybe we bring in new American talent... or maybe what they saw in week 20 at Mosaic has them thinking.

I'd figured that AJ was gone to Saskatchewan. Sucks. If anyone knows someone in the local wrestling loop out there to introduce him to, he'd likely appreciate it.

Special players get special contracts. It's actually a good value at the price. And if there are incentives on top of the reported figures, it's still a value buy for me.

What time do you get out of bed??

And Brandon Barlow is off to Hamilsmell. https://3downnation.com/2024/02/06/sources-hamilton-tiger-cats-agree-to-terms-with-dl-brandon-barlow/

Gutted about Pickett.

The Argos are bringing Hajrullahu back to go Canadian at kicker is some consolation to losing Bede. I know that Leake won the ST MOP, but for me it was Bede. The whispers about the Elks for him are interesting. I'd wondered if Montreal might be a fit for him (he's french).

It's Friday and my work week is done and the singlemalt is flowing. I can't see any way that this could go wrong.
