... according to Riderfans. thread based on twitter stuff ???
IF so - a great acquisition IMO - a veteran, smart, play-making defender - like him better at D-half, but i believe he has also played some as an OLB type at BC.

Banks tweeted that he has no knowledge that he has been traded to the Argonauts. I guess we'll see what the morning brings.
TORONTO ARGONAUTS FOOTBALL CLUB
GREY CUP CHAMPIONS: 1914, 1921, 1933, 1937, 1938, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1950, 1952, 1983, 1991, 1996, 1997, 2004, 2012, 2017, 2022
I don't know whether this is true or the result of a joke tweet put out by a BC Lions equipment manager Kato Kasuya when Korey tweeted he wasn't sure he would be back with the Lions. However, it would fit the Wally Buono pattern of getting rid of valuable veterans before the deterioration in their skills is obvious or a year or two before it actually does happen. I have always felt Banks was one of the best DBs in the CFL since his days with the Ottawa Renegades, but he will be 35 in August. Here is a list of tweets.

“@gjmarc: @24Banks hey man happy new year ... See you on the turf at BC Place in 2014!” (I don't know about that) we will see.

I thought if Korey Banks went any place, it might be back to Ottawa to finish his career. Their defense will need some veteran leadership.
how can you they trade a free agent?
Banks is entering his option year, but the Lions rarely keep players in their option years. So either they sign an extension or will be shopped.
