Free Agency Countdown

[OV Argo]

I'd like to see all those guys (except Bell) re-signed; just don`t guarantee a bunch of vets roster spots or playing time just because; also will older guys who have had some injury problems (like Eiben & Murphy) be wanted with their big price tagsÉ - restructuring $$$ perhapsÉ

Picard is a good C and like to see him re-signed; but the Argos have a couple of experienced guys with C experience in Gagne-Marcoux and St-Pierre if Picard goes elsewhere.

Love to see Eiben and Parker re-signed too - a nucleus of solid vets to lead the D would be very good IMO - those 2 + J. Younger (back in the D-backfield) and Foley = experienced, quality D players and they can still play at a high level IMO; i understand some want to see youth or new (or cheaper) blood, but not just for the sake of change or a new coach wanting to clean house; Jones and the Stamps D the past few years seemed like a revolving door show of ex-NFLers - with little continuity and they were often weak IMO; i don`t care much for the great àthlete`or name resume types` some CFL coaches are high on handing playing time to; sorry, rather see solid football players and a D that plays smart & together

Because of the cap as well as signing bonuses associated with that, signing vets mean you basically are guaranteeing them roster spots and playing time.
