    The ship has sailed on Cory Boyd. The Argos brought in Chris Jennings from Montreal to play alongside Curtis Steele who was Kackert's back-up. I'm happy going with those two for now.

    As big of a Boyd fan as I am, there's no way in hell that happens.

    Ain't happening. They said just yesterday that the first job of the RB is protecting the QB, that was the reason why they released him.
    They don't care as much about the running game as long as the QB is safe.

    I thought about Boyd the other day ... so he isn't backing up anywhere eh? Just sitting at home?

    Seems like that. I don't understand how a top league rusher like him doesn't get picked by anyone to be honest.

    If I was running Ottawa I would be telling Boyd to stay in shape, and get ready for 2014 and he would be a #1 or 2 RB on that team for at least a year or two to focus on other positions ... just IMHO

    I would be ok with the Argos bringing back Jason Medlock, but as others have said, Cory's ship has sailed.

    I believe that Boyd is currently running a personal training (?) business in the Toronto area so I am guessing that he is trying to stay in shape as he runs that. Ottawa could do worse than Boyd but running backs tend to be the easiest position to find productive players at. I would imagine that Desjardins figures that he can find someone younger and cheaper than Boyd. There will likely also be some good backs available in the expansion draft.

    Boyd doesn't make any money playing right now, i'd be shocked if he turned down any money offer.

    Bring back Cory Boyd...
    I would ask ...Who?....or Why?
    That was a long time ago and science and technology has advanced so much since this Corey person was on the team.
    The only reason to bring him back is so the guys who bought Boyd jerseys could bring them out of their Argo junk pile, and wear them.
    If plan 'A' was any good, we wouldn't need a plan 'B'

    Boyd is probably teaching a "Victimology 101" course at any community college...God knows he's qualified, seeing as he continually whined publicly throughout his entire tenure here, whether it was about his cheque or his playing time.....I knew the Argos were contenders for the Grey Cup last year and found a great coach in Milanovich, the day they released Boyd...Kavis Reed, must have noticed that too as he did not last long in Edmonton, either.

    I thought Boyd was coaching youth football with Jordan Younger in a company owned by former Argos Anthony Cannon?

    I have Boyd still on my Twitter feed and was under the impression that he was doing personal training but I could very well be wrong or maybe he is doing both.

    He is doing both. I believe both are based in Mississauga.
