Bigblue204 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 28 minutes ago, Blue In BC said: I didn't expect Rourke back in the CFL in 2024. However, this creates an opportunity / opening that didn't exist yesterday. The $300K advance payout to Kelly is an SMS issue and I have no idea if Rourke is remotely interested at the moment. Lots of questions including will Kelly be banned from playing at a later date and his CFL career over? Will the league negate his contract and relieve the Argos of the SMS hit from the advance? There's no way the league is going to give a break on any sms punishment to a team they're investigating. That would be an absolutely horrible look.

They say they are going be talking to the club about their role in this but if the investigation showed that Kelly clearly violated the policies, I don't see how there won't be punishment coming for the Argo's front office as well. Ya wasn't John Murphy implicated in trying to bury this too bigg jay, MOBomberFan and Stickem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Here's a possible scenario......B.C. signs Rourke.....leo's cut VAJ and he ends up signing an Argo friendly deal as their NO 1....The way things go down in the league sometimes, I see it as a possiblity Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, it won't matter- Rourke is going to be in blue and gold in either '25 or '26. Tracker and TBURGESS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the argos are any bit as guilty as it’s been made out they should immediately be punished and not get support. That said I don’t think the league will punish the argos in a way that hurts their on the field quality.

IC Khari Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 So glad the league did the right thing (the wait didn’t look good, but in light of the independent investigation into the matter it’s understandable). The Argos whole organization is going to have endure be “Blackhawked”, but it will ultimately be best for this league going forward.

JuranBoldenRules Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Here's something stupid: So the CFL has a Canadian QB internship program. And U Sports runs the East-West bowl, which is a huge scouting event for the CFL. And of course they run the East-West bowl on the first weekend of CFL training camps. So....a bunch of the Canadian QB's in the program are not in the CFL camps getting reps. And CFL GM's have to choose to be at their own camp or at the East-West. WHY?

He hasn't been charged with a criminal offense so likely not an issue. Wonder if Argos will try to trade next years first round pick for Masoli or perhaps Ford.

It was previously reported that Masoli won't be ready for the start of the season so I don't think he'd be an option. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
