2022-2023 Offseason Hopes and Transactions

[jerrym]

There are rumours that MBT will retire. Obviously, the Argos need him back.

Andrew Harris and AJ Ouellette formed a dynamic duo when playing together on game day, and added a further dimension occasionally when they appeared in the backfield at the same time. There are also rumours that Harris may retire, heightened by his comment that both his 14 year old daughter, who is in Winnipeg, and him miss each other terribly. Having moved at age 13 I know how much such changes can affect one at a time when you are just discovering who you are. Hopefully Harris still wants to play and the two of them can continue to spell each other off as they did in the playoff run.

This will be the off-season transaction thread.

Posters should use their own judgment, for example, if MBT does retire then it should probably have its own thread instead of being posted n here.

Love to see Harris play another season if he is into it. But if not ...

Ouellette returns; Adeboboye gets some work + the Argos draft explosive Western RB Keon Edwards (Toronto guy i think) and the running game could be outstanding.

Is a trade even a possibility? If the Argos go after and sign Bo, there is no chance they keep Kelly who would want to start given the chance.

No way Fajardo re-signs in Saskatchewan.

I don't think any team would have confidence making Dane Evans an undisputed #1. He has shown great ability, but as others have posted, he gets way too emotional on the field and I don't he has what it takes to shoulder everything that a #1 QB has to endure. BUT.... he would be a great veteran addition as a second QB and would have no issue, if the price was right, with the Argos signing him in that capacity.

I don't think Argos would trade Kelly right now.

Naylor already admitted this is all hypothetical. Just asking what Riders fans would like.

Bit of a troll job by Naylor by not including Bo as an option.

Good point, but he has also been on record as believing Hamilton will sign Bo. But you’re right, sinc it’s hypothetical, he should have included him.

[jerrym]

One free agent signing I see as a must is Robbie Smith, a Canadian who has shown he can be a starter at a position where you don't usually see Canadians.

Would like to see the Argos get new, completely finished uniforms.

Great point, a total revamp needed.

That’s ok, there is a new lacrosse team now playing in Hamilton.

I heard it's permanent.

The last Rock game we attended was in 2012 when Jim Barker, Jason Pottinger and Adriano Belli appeared with the Grey Cup.
We always enjoyed Rock games, to each their own.

Yes. Just me being me. I went to a game in the 90's at MLG. My friends are huge lacrosse fans having played it when they were younger. I just couldn't get into it.

My son (Eric) wanted to play lacrosse so we took him to a Rock game to show him what it was all about, half way through the game he filed his retirement papers, lol.

This is enough to strike fear into the hearts of Argo fans: Farhan reports that Corey Mace is on the shortlist of three for Ott's head coaching job. I would HATE to lose Mace, who did an absolutely superb job for us this year. I assume he's probably not the leading candidate (Mark Washington and Bob Dyce are the others) but still . . .
