It's us vs the rest of the country
I see Edmonton inked RB Travon Van. Could Shakir Bell be good replacement for B Whit? How big is Bell? My CFL.ca page always cuts off his particulars. By that I mean his height and weight.
Justin Dunk has said that the Argos have agreed to terms with Johnny Sears.
A good get if he stays healthy.
TORONTO ARGONAUTS FOOTBALL CLUB
GREY CUP CHAMPIONS: 1914, 1921, 1933, 1937, 1938, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1950, 1952, 1983, 1991, 1996, 1997, 2004, 2012, 2017, 2022
I'd rather see the Argos go after Anthony Allen than for them to go after Bell.
That's a pretty big if when it comes to Sears, but I agree a good get and a very good player............... when healthy. We might finally have a good Sam linebacker.

Weren't they thinking of going with coombs at RB for ratio reasons (which is a huge mistake IMO). I would go with Bell over Allen, but both might be cheap right now because spots around the league are filled. Is rutley still available too? by next week the backs will be very very cheap.
I'd take Allen over Bell. At 6'1 220 lb, he's power back who has shown can gain the short yardage on second downs, as AngeloV says. In his rookie year he gained 930 yards after 13 games and was on his way to winning the rushing title when injury struck. However, like Bell, he has had injury problems, but this more or less goes with being a RB.
Argos sign National Rider DB Matt Webster.

Would have been happier if they had signed Max Webster..........
Thumbs up to Nob. I loved Max Webster ever since they played our high school dance way back when.
The signing of Webster may mean the present brain trust is moving on from Matt Black. Maybe another safety picked up in the draft as well for depth.
Nice to have some continuity.
No secret we missed out on some big name FA's. But I know the new guys we got work they ass off & play with 🔥... I'm ok with that #Argos

He'e probably not the only thinking along these lines and might be available to the Argos.
No one wants to sign a 33 year old Canadian tackle with 2 or 3 more 9 game seasons left?

I like his sense of humor.
