Understood, but if we kept Owens, Shaw may not be around, and since production is similar (actually better than what the Argos got from Owens last year), it makes the difference in salaries sort of found money. I didn't support letting Owens go at the time, but sometimes it opens a great opportunity for someone else. In this case Shaw.
It's us vs the rest of the country
Always a plus when your team is on a bye but loses no ground to any teams in its division.
He lost a step a year or two ago IMO.
If he'd have stayed in Toronto it would have continued, the Argos not offering Owens a contract for this season was a major slap in the face to a proud guy.
What we are seeing is a motivated player with a lot to prove to which the Ticats have been the benefactor so far.

Owens will be 35 next season. I don't think the Ticats will renew his contract after this season and he will probably retire rather than wait for another team to pick him up.
If Sinkfield gets cut and comes back to the CFL, would the Ticats cut or deactivate Owens to get him back in the lineup? I think that's at least possible.
