For some teams, the CFL Offseason is here. Rather than lose all the coaching movement discussions to the Regular season thread, I thought we could start putting it here.

Those teams currently lost in the wilderness:

Ottawa

Toronto

BC

Montreal

Calgary

Edmonton

Saskatchewan

Hamilton

The champs are here.. the champs are here... Winnipeg*

 

*Grey Cup Champions

Start 3 need to probably dress 4 minimum.  Would be really nice to have that many Canadians on O could almost go all import on D, probably still start 1 on D just in case a few in game injuries happen.

No way we start 3 Canadian receivers.. makes no sense when we dint have to..plus there would be wasted roster spots to cover those positions..and most likely severe drop offs in talent too

Not really wasted roster spots.  Basically just moving a special team spot over to receiver, so for instance if they sign someone like Adjei you dress him instead of John Rush.  Adjei also plays special teams.

If they are viewing Wolitarsky as a slot, you have him, Lawler and Demski.  You have a spot open at the boundary, which IMO will be really their only big money free agent target.  Then you have the field WR which could easily be played competently by a combo of Petermann/Adjei.  Both those guys can block too so can play inside and support run game.  A lot of versatility in that group, size, speed.  Depending on where other Canadians are dressed we could have a free sub American backup receiver who can slot in on any snap, or could use a DI there and have that free sub on D assuming using 8+ Canadians regularly on O and D continues.

I don't think we need Adjei.

Cauchy Muamba is available

Yeah there would be no positive emotions surrounding the Muama name for me

Do they have the $$$ for both? They have a decision to make. 

I would think they would have money for both. MBT will end up the backup somewhere so I would imagine that if Toronto wouldn't have money for him as their back then who would?  I would imagine the team who have discount starting qb's would be the most likely to sign MBT.

Anthony Orange is terrible. 

A.J. Jefferson was significantly better

Argos cut Bomben to save $10k...  he'll be a Rider

That's crazy. Potentially lose a very good Canadian ol over $10k?

Argos just cut Burks. That's surprising to me.

Sure makes one appreciate Walter's work and us signing and extending guys we want. And not cutting ties with good players so to make ends meet

 

There has to be another way for the Argos to save 10k instead of cutting a quality NI OL.

Well seeing as they have one legit QB option left..they can just pay 10k less than market value as Nichols is gonna be in a take it or leave it situation..

Crunch time coming in 9 days. Hopefully we get Jefferson back. 

Argos are a mess, you might see more coaches, players and media members than fans at their home games this year

And quality quarterbacks in this league aren't like it was even a few years ago when you could pull off a trade & get a backup ready to make his mark.

Don't worry ...Pinball and Dinwiddie will have a plan.....the pinball will be a wideout and will be returning punts....Dinwiddie will be back behind centre.....everything's good in the big smoke.......(choke choke)

The Argos could offer Nichols 300 and he would have to take it. His hands are tied.

And the pre-FA negotiation window opened today at noon and closes on Feb 9 at noon, as mentioned in the other thread.

But teams get 48 hours after the window closes for other teams,  to match any offer.

So it is 9 days.

Argos are just as tied up as him. Nichols doesnt HAVE to play. Argos do. Neither really has an advantage, but if anything has an edge in negotiations I'd give it to Nichols.

Argos need to win football games to be legit. They'll pay him.
