DE Aston Whiteside

[OV Argo]

Not sure if his signing got mentioned here, but i read his bio on the Argo site = been around some NFL camps, but ALSO - some outstanding play-making defensive stats in his college ball career = maybe a great find at DE where the Argos have need? Him and Maybin stepping up as the new DEs for a Burke D ?

Argos have signed some prospects to compete in TC at D-Line (also like the resume of that DT signing Logan Harrel) = no need to "panic" here?

Still, i'm concerned about such a lack of vet presence on the upcoming Argo D; Emry maybe a great addition but looks like he is the only guy on the D, heading into TC, with signifigant, proven CFL D experience ? - unless McCune is retained to add some more vet presence? ...
bump ... heard the Esks have just released vet DB Chris Thompson : D-backfield an obvious area of Argo need IMO, along with some vet leadership = Barker should be jumping on this and not waiting around, but then again, maybe he is not that interested in other CFL team cast-offs and would rather find his own guys (?).
