@garylawless: wow. @MTLAlouettes GM Kavis Reed swoops in to get deal done with Ernest Jackson. Most of the talk was around @TorontoArgos. Nope.

@garylawless: told terms for WR Ernest Jackson deal with @MTLAlouettes will see him paid around $220 K per year on a two-year deal #cfl @cfl

@ScottMitchellPM: For what it’s worth, Ernest Jackson to the Argos is not something I’d be excited about, especially if it’s anywhere close to the 200K mark.

@TSNScianitti: Despite my earlier report, learning now it's a stretch to suggest #Argos made "hard push" for Chad Owens. Not how events played out. #CFL

Also those who haven't received a 1st offer include Matt Black and James Yurichuk

Copeland is devising a cost efficient, dynamic system synergy -- in which players won't be necessary. He's thinking outside of the box. It's the way of the future.

Looking forward to that 'noisy' home opener with 5,000 fans in the stands; most of them papered (free with a sandwich deal).

Did I mention, they 'have tailgaters now?!?!'

Well we should have plenty of salary cap space...

While Andre was one of my all-time favourite Argos, he will be 36 in July, very old for a SB. In his last 3 years he has gained 214, 63, and 228 receiving yards and played 24 out of 54 games. I may be the only one thinking this way and I am sad at the thought, but for his future health I am glad to see him retire, especially when he is saying he would never retire.

Lots of talent still out there.

That won't come here unless they have no choice. Ownership needs to act now to salvage the 2018 season.

National OL Peter Dyakowski has just been released by the Tiger Cats. Will the Argos pursue him?

OL Peter Dyakowski released by @Ticats Dyakowski a fan favourite around league and a good guy.

Betting Sinkfield returns to #Ticats. And wouldn't be surprised if it's between #Argos & #Ticats, and Argos lose yet again. #CFL https://t.co/BYv73rNPQD

I'm getting pumped about the O-Line in 2017. The grande plan is unfolding as we speak! Sheesh

I am no "expert", but I think we all saw this coming in late January with the stupid timing of Jim Barker's departure.

Who needs a Schenley finalist anyway. That's right, I said Shenley. I've been an Argo fan for that long and I can honestly say that I've never seen such a cluster f@@k in all my life. The Argonauts are easily the most disorganized franchise in all of sport.

Bleeds Double Blue: Schenley finalist, I love it! When did they get rid of that sponsorship? Right after Bill Symons won it?

Gilthethrill, you might not be an expert but your love for this team is more than enough. "Might not be an expert" might jut apply to the most senior of Argos management who are calling all the shots right now!

Paul would probably be able to answer that better than I can but I think it was around the time of Garney Henley. Hey maybe we can sign him. I think he counted as a National.
