    Scianetti is reporting that MBT will make his decision soon. Dinwiddie said there is a deadline. Also team is talking to Muamba but he’s considering whether to continue playing or to move onto the next phase of his career.

    With the recent acquisition of Jordan Williams, where would Muamba fit in?

Johnson (23) a rookie with good size and explosive speed. Knight (23) has untapped potential.

    There should be fierce competition at training camp and some talented players may not make the team.
    The interior of the line ain’t too shabby either. I don’t think Shawn Oakman gets enough love. He is a physical force, and game in and game out maybe the most consistent performer on D last year, when you take injuries into consideration.

    I thought Acheampong made some big strides last year and if he keeps improving look out. Marion surprised everyone last year with his contributions, and Hendrix made some big plays too. I thought they were looking to play Knight on the inside?

    Muamba is always worth signing and I think you can run a great 3-4 base D with that LB core showing some pretty exotic blitz packages. O-line would not know where the pressure is coming from

    The Argos (on paper) did this with Muamba, Judge, Edwards & McCoil.

    Jonathan Jones also proved that he could be a great depth piece if needed.

    3Down Nation is reporting that Cody Fajardo's two finalists were the Argos and Als, and he eventually went on to sign with the Als (perhaps with a clear path to the starting job). Apparently part of Fajardo's decision making was that MBT had left the Argos "hanging" with his decision to play or retire.

    If MBT, leaves the Argos in the dust by moving onto to the next stage; the team would be forced to trade with the Ticats for Evans - or wait for him to be cut.

    Who you rather have had this season in tandem with Kelly - Fajardo or Evans?
    Could Fajardo have been an upgrade over MBT ? - (possibly, but with a larger price tag)

    IF the Argos were making serious overtures to Fajardo, doesn't that indicate they have moved on from MBT? What, they'd sign Fajardo, and then MBT decides to return and they'd say sorry Cody? or eat 2 high priced QB salaries ?

    No chance they (or anyone else) trade for Evans contract. They will just have to wait it out if that is who they want. I would have been good with either Fajardo or Evans as I have previously mentioned.

    That would be a logical assumption.

    We don't actually know how serious any Argo overture to Fajardo was. But regardless, I'm pretty sure Argo mgmt has been operating on the assumption that MBT will not be back. They left the door open to him returning but never expected he would (or will).

    The Argos signed a receiver named B.J Byrd the other day. I have learned that he is, indeed, not the former Blue Jays mascot.

    Why did the Jay's change their mascot from BJ Birdie to Ace & Gary?
