Whoever said "there are no stupid questions", what were they thinking?
You are advocating blowing up the team for 1 player who
a) Hasn't played in the CFL in a few years, who knows what impact he'd have.
b) Ball has been active in exactly 6 NFL games in the last two seasons
c) Would be a marginal marketable player at best. Certainly not drawing "60,000". Nor did he draw 60,000 to the 100th Grey Cup (Which you have also claimed).

The Argonauts have other areas of need, namely offense.

As for your "no stupid questions" comment, you phrased your original post on the topic as a statement.
Regardless, there is stupid ideas and "Blowing up the Salary Cap for a American Linebacker" certainly is one of them.
Bring him in and see if he can make an impact? Sure.
Thinking he is going to sell tickets? No. It won't move the needle in Toronto, it barely would anywhere else in the CFL.
