Sinopoli seems to be headed to Ottawa where he played with the Gee Gees but being from Peterborough, Toronto is just as close for family and friends if that makes any difference. I believe his father had a short tenure with the Argos as a TE/Rec if I am recalling things correctly.
Samuel Giguere likely to land with #RedBlack today #CFLFA15

They can't sign all of the FA receivers, can they?
IMO - you should take CFL salary figures trotted out by a lot of CFL reporters (not the brightest group exactly IMO - cliche fest morons or dutiful parrots a lot of them) with a grain of salt - a lot of it is total made-up B$ or gossip they heard from a CFL "insider". CFL salary figures are not published - but if you want to get all in a lather speculating on what CFL players make and wether they are worth it (in a league where players are NOT making anything close to million$ - salary cap, league minimum, play-off bonus monies are known however) ... whatever.
I doubt Watt is going to get decent starter money unless some team views him as a sure-fire productive starter or upgrade on what they have.
Sinopoli to Ottawa makes some sense i guess - they have big need at receiver, the guy has flashed some surprising skills there, he is a local guy ... i just wonder if some local yokels will be calling for him to get a shot at QB there, and that might scare off Desjardins & Campbell.
Like to see Pszonzack back for another Argo look at TC (i hope he will get one anyways - very productive and athletic CIS receiver) - between him, Adjei + add another draft pick = don't see a need for Sinopol, or Giguere (quite over-rated IMO)i and Watt might not be a big loss if he goes.
That's too bad. He is the one guy I really wanted the Argos to go after. I think Hamilton has wasted him over the last few years on the wide side. He arguably was more of a force at SB during Fantuz IR stint than Fantuz was when healthy. I think he can play the short side WR position.
It's us vs the rest of the country

Holy shite the Argos are gonna have a completely new receiving core this year other than C.O.
It seems as though the rest of the league valued our free agents more highly than we did. Good luck to SirVincent Rogers in Ottawa, Spencer Watt in Hamilton, and Darvin Adams in Winnipeg.
Argos in holding pattern:

I do. Starting our slowest guy Bradwell on the wide side was the definition of futile. Adjei's got the speed to beat man coverage, and if you factor in a speedster like Surgent on the other side, we will really give defences something to think about. I still think we should have Bradwell bulk up a bit and line up at H-back, he's still got the good hands to catch balls over the middle in traffic.
Rogers is a big, big loss. He was not a star but he was solid on the blind side. I think King may have to go to that side. I doubt we'll pick up a FA OT but I hope we are at least kicking tires.
It is not so much the loss of Watt, Rogers and Adams that irks me. Well, the loss of Rogers perhaps a little more than Adams and Watt, it is the fact that Barker isn't likely to address needs at WR and LT through free agency. I recognize the talent available might not be as significant because a lot of teams re-signed their talent, but rather going into the season with unknowns at these positions. I don't have as much faith in Barker as others do. The Argos arguably had one of the better receiving corps in 2013 with Durie, Owens, Chiles, Inman, Barnes, Watt and Bradwell. Now you take potentially four players out of the equation and what are we left with? Durie and Owens who are great but have health concerns, Coombs, Adjei and a bunch of other guys who have done lickedly split in the CFL.
