It is day three of the NFL draft, will Stiggers be drafted and, if so, by whom?
Let's find out.
In other news, UBC lineman went in the 4th Rd to Detroit
Goes to Jets -late 5th round
Congrats, wishing him well in the NFL.
Next man up for the Argos. I have complete faith the Front Office will find an excellent replacement for the departed Stiggers.
Peters & Stiggers now gone; R. Daniel still un-signed (injury recovery problems ?) = big-time re-build of the Argo secondary on tap. The play of the young Pierce last season was a real positive IMO; lots of new DBs already signed for TC; vet pick-up Jaimie Harry could get a shot at corner, perhaps; also liked the late season FA signing of former Western all-Canadian safety Dan Valente as a good safety prospect / back-up & possible starter down the road.
TC competition there to look forward to - Argos D coaches have a job to do.
Daniel was available to play in the East Final so I don't know what's going on there.Quote:

Johnson has been on the Argo radar for the last two years and was on their negotiation list. Vincent was an NFL 7th round draft pick in 2021 and has exceptional speed having run a 4.33 for the 40 and has a 10.07 wind assisted 100m.
The team has a lot of potentially talented DBs and I trust the team's coaching staff will be able to find good 5 starters out of that group.
Like Shaq Richardson last year, Daniel may end up as a mid-season replacement somewhere.Quote:

What a testament to the Argos ability at discovering talent. The team saved his career.
I wish there were some system in place similar to soccer where the NFL would at least have to pay CFL teams something for releasing players.
At the end of the day though, this shows that the Argos have a very good system when it comes to finding talent, and I cannot help but continue to feel confidence in the organization's ability to build good teams.
