Collaros took all of that and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.O.A.B. Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Nichols will be an Argo. I hope they have the OL to protect him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Risky venture for Lapo....Arbuckle is hardly proven and was marginally succesfull in a system he has been in for 2 years...with a decent team upfront of him...now he goes to a new system...a lot of pressure, and a weaker supporting cast Piggy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 wonder what the numbers are...any thing over 400k in hard money/bonus is a severe over pay Geebrr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Well Lapo gets his guy. Curious what the $ is. Didn't notice it here but Toronto got Lokombo from Montreal for an 8th rounder. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firekid Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Can't help but notice the flurry of signings yesterday and today. Seems to me the new FA window has spurred on this activity. CFL FA Frenzy on TSN is going to be a bust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 At least Arbuckle is healthy and is coming from a good system. So if I'm an Ottawa fan at least I have some positive things to look forward for. Nichols I guess goes to Toronto.... do they platoon him with MBT?

I imagine they talked to Nichols agent, and elected to go with the young buck with upside. Not surprised. Nichols has zero leverage now in negotiations with Toronto. Either sign what they offer, or go play the field for a backup contract. If the Argos make an offer, it will be performance based bonuses. Doing anything but would be foolish for them business wise!

M.O.A.B. Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 This will be interesting to see. Matty has no other option to get a starting money/job other than Toronto. and there's no available decent starting QB for Toronto, than Matty. Who's the first to blink will win the negotiation.

Arbuckle had better numbers than Reilly and Ottawa actually has a pretty nice OL - ignite last year with no RB or QB ha this is a very nice move - for sure he’s at 430-450 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
