I think that will be the plan, unless they move him to half and have one of their American DB's try there. I know they played him there a bit i Hamilton. The issue of course is having a Canadian back up there, but that would ot be an issue if they started 8 Nationals, which I think they have enough depth to do.
It's us vs the rest of the country
Adding a NAT who can start at LB or in the secondary gives us a ton of roster flexibility. Go with three on the o-line, two at receiver and three on defence, with extras available at receiver and RB if needed because of injuries to starters. Adekele is definitely capable of starting at DHB, possibly at SAM, and also gives us a proven safety in case of injury to Metchie.
I love the fact that Argos were (as far as I know) the only team that had few leaks about guys they were negotiating with over the past week. Do business quietly and effectively.

I had a feeling that the Argos would grab Adeleke. I’m with AV on this one, this is a great signing even one that could rival what I think was the best free agent signing of 2023, Adarius Pickett. As was already said, he provides quality, versatility and flexibility.
Fraser Sopik, an excellent STer and backup LB, is a very nice under-the-radar signing. I assume it means Hoyte is moving elsewhere.

Is it just me and my laptop or is anyone else having trouble following the 3DN live free agent tracker due to all the pop ups? For me the page is almost unreadable and definitely not worth the aggravation.
Good signings by the Argos so far. They clearly have a plan and are sticking to it.
Cameron Dukes + Dan Adeboboye + Kevin Mital + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force
Losing AJO for 160k hurts a little more. If he was looking for closer to 200k, I would understand being priced out.

We'll have to see what happens at that position, but we almost certainly won't spend that much on an individual RB. That leaves more money to spend elsewhere. I hate to lose a player as good, and as popular, as Ouellette, but I continue to believe that whomever carries the ball for us this season will be more than adequate. There are still some good FA backs available, and we already have McMahon and Adeboboye. The dropoff from Ouellette to whomever probably will be small enough to make the salary saving worth it.

Adeleke & Sopik are excellent signings IMO; both can play on D - Adeleke versatile and able to play S-OLB or anywhere in the secondary; Sopik can back-up star W-OLB McManis or play LB in some packages and is also a good ST guy. Two veteran Canadian talent guys.
Big H-back A. Awachie signed away from the Riders? - maybe he will be an upgrade over Nichols at the little used spot in the Argo offence or maybe he's a real strong ST guy? Plenty of CFL experience now.
Hope this means the Argos don't waste a precious draft pick on more fullback "depth".
What a Snooze Fest. The “Tampering Window” announcements over the past week has ruined the start of CFL Free Agency.
Can easily see the attraction of going to a team in a re-build mode with a coach he knows as new HC, AND in a market where football really matters (as opposed to the joke level of respect the Argos get). Might have gone there anyways for less buck$ than what the Argos could offer.
