Toronto Argos Release DeVier Posey to pursue NFL Opportunities

[Jon Gonzo]

The Ticats ended up with some strong receiver play last season after Jones came in as coach; Banks played a bigger role as a deep threat; Tasker is a very reliable receiver; ex-NFLer Saunders had a 1000 yard season; and Fantuz & Toliver (1000 yard season before) were out with injury. I can see how Tyms might not make the grade there or be the odd man out - coaching staffs will have different evaluations of talent from previous regimes. And another receiver - ex Rider Ricky Collins - ended up on the Ticats last year and did not play? - this guy really impressed me with the Riders in 2016 - if he is a forgotten man there, love to see the Argos try to get him - impressed me way more than Tyms in his CFL play - some superb catches with the Riders - but again, not a real big sample size.

IF the first 5 Ticat receivers i mentioned above are all good to go/healthy for next season - IMO the Ticats have about the best receiving corps in the CFL; Rider fans like to think their group is so good, but they don't have 5 guys with thousand yard CFL seasons; and the Esks have lost Zylstra for now.

Replacing one American Receiver is never usually very difficult. Not like replacing an entire receiving-set mid season, which is virtually impossible. Great Quarterbacking is the key. A great Quarterback can make an average receiver, an all star. Tyms will be worth a look I'm sure (if they bring him back in). Interesting to see another Receiver back who had a nice pre-season last year. Cole Watson has a chance too.

I was glad to see Watson get another chance as he had an outstanding pre-season. Don't know why he wasn't kept around on the PR, but maybe that was his decision. Not a very big guy but has some possibilities IMO, especially with Ricky Ray lobbing his rainbows.

I believe he chose to return home to finish his degree instead of taking a PR spot.
