2014 Season Player Movement Thread

[ArgoRavi]

All I can say about Adams is that Milanovich told the TSN people recently that he likes the way that Adams blocks. He certainly has not be anywhere near as productive on offence as I had hoped he would be but perhaps his blocking and special teams work keeps him on the team.

Regarding Sinkfield, he just didn't seem to "get it". He appeared to have trouble adapting to the offence and the Canadian game.

[AngeloV]

So, how do you release a receiver (Sinkfield) when that group is decimated by injuries? Who replaces him? Do you recall him when another receiver goes down due to injury? It just seems inevitable this year...

I'm guerssing that Gill and Fason will be the next up. I'm guessing that Durie and maybe even Chiles will be back this week.

Sinkfield was also released in addition to Johnson and (yes) Anderson. Somehow Darvin Adams remains on the team.

I can't handle watching Adams anymore, just hurts my soul *single tear*

[ArgoRavi]

Milanovich said today that Durie is questionable and Owens is doubtful for Labour Day. Apparently, they were happy with the MRI results on Owens' knee though so he should hopefully be back again soon. Matt Black seems likely to play on Labour Day as well.

now tht we cut sum bums
lets get sumbody in there !

[Argo-Les]

sinkfield and adams are plugs!
we need help now!

[Skinny G]

I wouldn't mind seeing some other guys on the defensive side of the ball get in...Marcus Thomas, Kyle Moore, Dexter Davis, Donald Washington... btw... was Ware that inconsistent he's staying on the PR?

[ArgoRavi]

Generally some positive news here: http://www.argonauts.ca/video/index/id/101593

Owens is a "maybe" for Labour Day, while Durie and SirVincent Rogers are looking good. Chris Van Zeyl is banged up but hopefully can play on Monday while Antwaun Molden has, surprisingly, retired.

[flafson]

How the hell a player that is playing just retires mid season? Never seen that happen before. Maybe he's hurt and there is more to it than just retired.

[paulwoods13]

Given that first-year guys often make in the range of $50k, it's not that surprising to me if a guy decides he's had enough of the punishment that comes with football.

[Wobbler]

Molden played last week like a guy who was already retired. The contrast between his effort in the BC game and Edmonton game was pretty shocking.

[ArgoRavi]

I put this in the Dwight Anderson thread because his name had been raised there but thought I would put this here as well:

Hearing once Evan McCollough signs with #Argos he'll go on practice roster #CFL

Should've signed him after game #1! Hopefully he'll get back to 2012 form.

Great move bringing him back, had a great season in 2012.

[Wobbler]

I'm not going to get my hopes up. He had a good season with Hamilton last year but did have some injury problems. When Hamilton cut him at the end of camp this year I assumed that either he had lost a step or that they had decided to go with less expensive replacements. And then when no one signed him... well, it looked like it must be the former.

It'll be nice if he can help us, though.

With the addition of McCullough to the PR, I now count 11 bodies on that roster. I thought the limit was 10, so does someone get deleted? I notice Antuawn Molden who reportedly retired earlier this week is still on the 46. I guess the entire website will get updated closer to game time. Getting anxious....

Practice rosters are expanded around this time of year to accommodate NFL cuts. I am not sure what the limit is now but it does increase at this time IIRC.

[Wobbler]

I don't think the PR expansion (from 10 to 15 players) happens until 30 days after NFL cut down day, Ravi.

I've loved McCollough's play since he arrived in Toronto in 2010. Considering that only first year franchise Ottawa has given up more points per game than Toronto, he could be an important addition to the Argo defence if he is healthy and has not lost much speed.

[jerrym]

I'm sorry to see Molden retire as he showed so much promise early on, but Paul is right that first year players usually don't get much more than the league minimum, so for some of them there is not much temptation to stick around if the shine wears off the holy grail of a professional football career, or if injuries start taking an observable toll on one's health.
