The writing was on the wall and many of us commented such. If Sutton impresses, there is also going to be another tough choice who to cut.

Haha not sure to be honest. I just had a hunch I suppose. Once in a while one of my predictions come through.😁

Recently signed Kennan Gilchrist looks like a talented OLB who could address an area that some of us are a bit worried about.

**Mightygoose** · 05-16-2019, 03:43 PM

Bear Woods released.

Injuries have taken its toll.

Anybody know anything about Trevaughan James? We signed him along with our draft picks, although he wasnt picked in the draft. Internet says he was linemates with Robbie Smith.

Transaction page on CFL.ca indicates he has decided to retire. I would like to thank him for his interest in the Toronto Argonauts football club and I wish him well in his future endevours.

Speaking of the wire, it looks like we cut Frank Beltre and signed most of our 2019 draft class. No O'Connor or Boateng, though...

**Will** · 05-17-2019, 10:32 AM

I am concerned about the middle linebacker position.

Kind of a cryptic post from Lemon last night:

Shawn Lemon (@SLemonator) tweeted at 0:04 AM on Fri, May 17, 2019:
@sackatchawen let’s get it... no mo talk

Heres Arceneauxs response:

Emmanuel Arceneaux (@mannyshow84) tweeted at 0:13 AM on Fri, May 17, 2019:
Glad to be teammates with the best DE in the @CFL 👉🏾 @sackatchawen.....Consistent Body Of Work! 🏄

Is Lemon being traded to the Riders?

**Wobbler** · 05-17-2019, 11:18 AM

@sackatchawen is Charleston Hughes.

Really big, stocky DT (6' - 310 range); not sure he will have the quicks to play there in the CFL, but worth a look; been an OUA all-star DT; was at the Ontario Regional Combine

It was still a cryptic tweet.

Yeah, I noticed O'Connor was not on the list of signed draftees. It would be a real shame if he wasted the season by not being in camp. He could be holding out for another NFL shot but at this point I think smartest thing he could do is sign and report to camp. The NFL isn't going away and could be an option for him in a couple of years, with pro football under his belt. But not playing this year would set him back imo.

**Jon Gonzo** · 05-17-2019, 03:00 PM

According to CFL Transactions; the Argos have dumped Keenan Gilchrist, the MLB from Armanti's alma matter.

And Kamathi Holsey, the big WR from Buffalo, was also made a Free Agent yesterday.

Sure wish the CFL did a better job in listing transactions.

O’Connor and Boateng sign!

**Wobbler** · 05-17-2019, 10:23 PM

That's nice to see. Perhaps there was some sort of paperwork issue delaying their signings.

It's a shame that our top selections from Europe and Mexico aren't available, but hopefully Santiago or Delgado can help the team.

**Shatto** · 05-17-2019, 10:49 PM

Since the team must have one Global player on the roster, it would appear that one of Santiago or Delgado will be on the team regardless of their talent and skills.
