God bless Scianitti for keeping this story alive. You'd think that one of the papers or radio shows would be keeping tabs on the Harris situation, at least once in a while. I would even argue that it's the second-most important story concerning the Argos right now, the first obviously being the move to BMO.

Will Harris re-sign and lead the Argos to 7 or 8 years of success, or will he dump this heartless burg for the greener pastures of Saskatchewan? Such drama! Too bad nobody's paying attention. Then again, maybe people can sense that it's likely already a done deal at this point. Personally I'm not worried in the slightest that he is gonna leave, because I know Mr. Barker is not a stupid man.

[R.J]

Sounds like Harris, Owens and Waters are testing free agency.

If Harris leaves, the Argos have a strong but untested back-up contender in Logan Kilgore, and Barker feels confident in his potential.

Will Harris re-sign and lead the Argos to 7 or 8 years of success

You expect him to be a successful QB to the age of 37 or 38? Didn't you want Ray gone at 35 after an all star season?

The following article discusses where Trevor Harris is most likely to end up.

TORONTO ARGONAUTS
The obvious one here is he re-signs in Toronto. As the Double Blue enter a new era at BMO Field, Harris has the unique opportunity to not only win the starting job out of training camp but cement himself as the face of the franchise. Competition may just push Harris enough to put little doubt in the Argos’ mind that he should be a starter.
Even if he begins the year on the sidelines, he has a system he is familiar with under head coach Scott Milanovich and Offensive Coordinator Marcus Brady and he has a future Hall of Famer to pull knowledge from.
Ray is on the back half of his career and a long term deal in Toronto would all but ensure that Harris is indeed the future regardless of whether he is the starter now or a few years down the road. ...


MONTREAL ALOUETTES
Should Harris test the market, Montreal may be his best chance to not only earn a starting spot but get paid well to do so. A move to the Als would be not unlike his former teammate, Zach Collaros’, move to Hamilton — both products of Milanovich’s system, both replacing a quarterback who is getting up there in age.
Kevin Glenn is likely pencilled in as the starter if the season were to start today but that conversation quickly changes if Harris were to sign in Montreal. His age alone is enough to give him an edge in Montreal.
Since the departure of Anthony Calvillo, the Als have desperately been in search of some stability under centre. Glenn gives them that but for how long? If Harris is indeed the real deal he will be handed the keys by Head Coach Jim Popp and can continue to learn under another Hall of Famer (Calvillo) who also ran a Milanovich offence.
The Als need some consistency and what they need more is a player they can hitch their wagon to long-term. It worked in Hamilton and could work in Montreal as well.
| BC Lions
Jonathon Jennings is likely the guy in BC but if the BC brass has any doubt, there is a slight chance Harris could be in the mix. Wally Buono has dealt with having a number of capable quarterbacks on his roster before and has never shied away from allowing the best pivot work his way into a starting role.
Harris is more seasoned than Jennings and his hunger to gain a starting role could benefit the Lions by pushing the what is assumed to be their incumbent quarterback. This also depends on where Travis Lulay’s future is (if at all) with the Leos. ...


WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS
Drew Willy will return from injury to be the starter in Winnipeg but one could argue that depth behind centre is needed. Willy has had two solid campaigns with the Bombers but there is nothing to say that Harris couldn’t come in and take the starting job away. He is somewhat familiar with head coach Mike O’Shea from their days in Toronto and a new offensive coordinator Paul LaPolice arrives with a chance to make some changes on the offensive side of the ball.

I will be very disappointed if Trevor Harris doesn't re-sign. Disappointed in the Argos brass for not getting it done. They finally develop quarterbacks i.e. Collaros and Harris, and both might be gone. Ray will not sell them one extra ticket and he has been relatively injury prone during his Argo stay. If Harris does leave we will have to try and get a veteran back-up. Not sure who that will be. I think if he hits free agency the Ottawa REDBLACKS might be interested.

[R.J]

And Harris will sell tickets ?

[eiben35]

Harris won't sell anymore tickets but he will make the Argos better.

I hope the Argos know what they're doing with Ray. Not confident at all with McPherson as the backup.

[R.J]

^ I was expecting that move to happen. If true I'm freaking ecstatic!

I am not ecstatic at having Adrian McPherson as the backup to Ray.

I trust this is a gross understatement.

[R.J]

I think Kilgore would be 2 and McPherson 3.

Big mistake by the JB!
