Montreal Alouettes Thread

[paulwoods13]

Cross has been one of the most productive H-Backs in the league this year and only a 2nd year player, granted we may not have known the extent of some of his skills had Coombs not got injured. So not sure if he has a role anymore now that Coombs is back. Will the Argos bring Cross back next year!!

This is probably not the proper thread, but since it's here ... assuming he is headed into free agency (which seems very likely), there's no doubt in my mind the Argos will want Cross back. Obviously price is always a factor, though. He's an extremely useful guy, but not an every-down player in an offence that plays either five receivers or double tights. I would guess Cross wants to be here and will re-sign, but I have been surprised in the past when guys like Gillanders, Dupuis and Robinson departed. I think sometimes H-backs get wooed with promises of a bigger role on offence. It didn't work out that way for those three (if they were in fact given such a promise).

Hope Cross stays; he's been a bit of a revelation as the season progressed.
