    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.

    This assumes that Ouellette would have preferred to stay with Toronto as opposed to moving to Saskatchewan.

    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.

    I may be the only one here that doesn't consider him a big loss. RB is the last position I really worry about.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    I agree, AV. It's also the case that $160k in Regina goes much further than the same money in Toronto which could be another reason why Ouellette left but life goes on. I am confident that the Argos will continue to get solid production from the RB position in 2024.
