2020-2021 offseason transaction thread

[Jon Gonzo]

In 2019 the team had four import DEs: Lemon, Beltre, Bishop, and Antigha, and only Beltre played on special teams. I see no reason not to keep Harold if he performs well in camp.

And hybrids like Gilchrist and Tuggle helping out off the line over the past couple of seasons also.

4 imports is not an issue whatsoever. They'll effectively be looking for a blend of 8 to rotate in and out, and cover for injury

I think it's pretty rare that a CFL team dresses 8 D-linemen on the game roster, but i guess do-able ?

My recollection is that the Argos dressed eight a lot in the past few years, and particularly in 2017. D-line rotation, to keep guys fresh, is in vogue and I see no reason we can't dress eight on a roster of 44.

True, and as of today this is who I'd imagine would open up the season along the DLine;

DE - Cordarro Law, Charleston Hughes, Eli Harold, Robbie Smith

DT - Drake Nevis, Jhaustin Thomas, Ronald Ollie, and Sam Acheompong

If the Argos are going all import on the DL. A couple of standout DT's available IMO would be Sewell and Johnson. They've also signed a three year NFL veteran who was a 3rd round pick in Thornton. Downside though is he hasn't played in three years.

Just read that Ottawa has signed former Argo DT Davon Coleman; i had forgotten about him, and always liked him (with Ticats & BC too); wasn't listed as a FA on the Argo list - was he let go / cut ? And if so why ? ( IMO as good or better a DT than recent signing Nevis).
