    Argos extend Miles




    Good signing. He filled in admirably for Greenwood this year.

    Great signing as he played very well and was a really nice surprise last year. He should continually get better.

    I love this move. He looked very promising in brief PT as a rookie, and looked superb last season as a replacement for Greenwood and occasionally spelling off Jones. I hope we re-sign Jones, and I think we will, but if not I would be fine with "pencilling in" Miles as the starting MLB.

    I loved how Miles played last year. Could the Argos be moving away from Cory Greenwood?

    They shouldn't. You can never have too much Canadian depth.

    I agree, but I saw more from Miles than Greenwood last season. If they had to pick between the 2, which of course they really don't, I would go with Miles. It just goes to show how talent between the NFL and CFL doesn't equate. And by that I mean that a guy like Greenwood gets an NFL shot, yet a guy like Miles from the CIS outplays him. Not saying Greenwood doesn't have talent, but maybe his talent isn't AS suited for the CFL as Miles' is. This sort of situation has played out ad nausea yet no one seems to get it. Its just a different game. Of course this is not to say that Greenwood doesn't turn it around and become a force in the future, or that even Miles does himself. I'm just calling it as it is at this moment.

    I wouldn't say Greenwood was out played by Miles, when he (Greenwood) was healthy. But the concussions are a concern for Greenwood long term. Just glad to see Miles has resigned. I was a little concerned Winnipeg would offer him big dollars to be their MLB.

    Greenwood played well but counting on him long term would be a mistake.
    Miles impressed when he was in the lineup, great move keeping him in Toronto.

    Miles played really well. Greenwood, when healthy, was playing at an all-star level. It's easy to forget how good he was because he missed almost the entire second half of the season. I want him back for sure.

    Greenwood brings that NFL experience and an ability to just flat run over guys. He tackles like a truck. Miles has a non stop motor and also is a great tackler but yet different. I love both of these guys. It would be great to see them develop into Mike O'Shea type players.

    Couldn't agree more. The only issue with Greenwood is that he suffered 2 concussions last year.

    Love the signing. Besides his skills, his attitude helps energize the defence. Another sharp pick by Barker in picking up Miles in the fourth round of the draft.

    100% agree, that's why signing Miles is a great move. He showed he can start.
