    Over 200G’s a year for 3 years makes him one of the highest paid receivers. Worth it, but as I feared, money is going to become very tight, very quick for the Argos. Too many vets deserve raises.

    Can’t keep them all unfortunately, I can see the Argos moving on from Ja’Gared Davis if he demands to be paid anywhere close to his 2022 salary.

    JGD is probably gone, and so (sadly) is Brescacin. I would not be surprised to see the Argos also letting the following guys walk: Ambles, Blake, Edwards, Lawrence, Ray and Rogers. Hopefully we can re-sign Ouellette and Harris, but the latter is unlikely. Banks is already gone. And MBT likely won't be here for the full season, if at all. So lots of potential salary savings to be found in the usual churn of free agency.

    I would be surprised to see Harris return as a player; I also doubt there will be a huge market for his services as a player at this point. I agree with most of those names that you have said they will move on from. I would like to see Ambles return though.

    I suspect the above mentioned players will not be re-signed with the possible exception of Ambles and Blake. Ambles is 31 and though he had a good year in 2022, he would probably be seen as a 3rd receiver for a team and not likely to be offered as much as last year's contract. It is possible that he would accept a lower contract if offered by the Argos.
    Blake is 37 and is a home town boy with family here. He can play any position on the OL and did so, very well last year. He also may accept a lower contract offer to play one more year in his home town. Both could be "bargain" players with excellent experience but help with the cap situation. Just a thought.
