Mr Dee Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Don't know what's going on with the Argos but Jeremiah Johnson, Terrell Sinkfield and Anderson are all gone. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=460268 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Nothing is going on with them, those guys just aren't very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbill2004 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Argos are cutting all of their marketing staff too. Also read today that the Argos coaches are amongst the lowest paid in the league. Lots of cost cutting going on with the Argos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Johnson they seemed pretty high on based on pre-season and early season but I think Steele and Slaton just out performed him in the regular season. Same with Sinkfield, looked interesting in pre-season but other guys did more in the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I thought Sinkfeld looked pretty dynamic in the first game against the Bombers but maybe he drops too many passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Question is are they clearing the deck for players coming off the injury list or NFL cuts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweep the leg Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Maybe they're clearing the deck for a run at Dressler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Maybe they are just releasing players who haven't really done much with them? Not sure why releasing 3 players, i guess maybe some people have heard of them? is that the reason? cuz some have heard of them? but not sure why releasing 3 players is a big deal.. Anderson? Discovered he was a ******, more of a distraction than a help Johnson? Slaton and Steele Sinkfield? Obviously, he has not play that well.. Had a chance to step up with all the argo injuries and didn't. The marketing people? I'd release half of them too if only 10-15,000 people showed up, why bother paying marketing people when it's not working... I refuse to admit that argos are the problem in Toronto, The problem is the Rogers Centre, It's the biggest issue the argos have. If they could get out of the Rogers Centre in to a 25,000 seat stadium of their own, They would probably sell it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-F-F-C Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Sinkfield was intriguing but he also had penalty problems. It could just be a American having a difficult time with the waggle. Is Anderson finally done? Or will Ottawa pick him up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Nothing out of the ordinary... Sinkfield would help Ottawa, he is a decent receiver just not good enough for the Argos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Madani was on Twitter today bitching about Braley. I think the Argos are in deep ****. Looks like another big "marketing loan" coming their way this year so they can stay afloat. It wouldn't surprise me to see the Wettenhalls fold the tent too now that the going has gotten tough.

Brandon Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Anderson took a lot of bad penalties, Sinkfield dropped lots of passes and was doing nothing on returns, Slaton and Steele simply are better players.... Also dropping salary to make a pitch for Dressler.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I certainly hope the Argos find a way to stay afloat and are able to sustain it.... but, if they dont, Van Zeyl would sure look good in the blue and gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBieber Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Anderson isn't worth it, Sinkfield couldn't catch a cold, and Johnson is lost in the RB shuffle and can easily be replaced for the contribution he has given them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Madani was on Twitter today bitching about Braley. I think the Argos are in deep ****. Looks like another big "marketing loan" coming their way this year so they can stay afloat. It wouldn't surprise me to see the Wettenhalls fold the tent too now that the going has gotten tough. Read Madani's twitter feed the other day and he seems to be of a belief that Wetenhall is going to want out soon. Although with exception to the team losing money, that's the first I've heard of it. The situation in Toronto is getting bad, people are leaving or getting fired, the team's already almost non existent marketing budget has been slashed and according to Scianetti, they'll have no marketing to speak of by mid September. According to this report http://www.torontosun.com/2014/08/25/give-argos-a-failing-grade-at-seasons-halfway-mark, the team's football operations are among the lowest paid in the league and Barker is having recruitment issues due to lack of funds. The League really should push Braley to sell, it looks to me that he is causing a lot more damage to that franchise rather than assisting / caretaking it.
