Davis was with the Cowboys for a little while and looked good in limited time there.
One player I would like to see the Argos pursue is Canadian RB Johnny Augustine. He looked damn good picking up 98 yards and 75 yards in the two games that he replaced Andrew Harris during his drug suspension. Augustine also has a 6.5 yards per carry average. I can't see him wanting to stay in Winnipeg playing behind Harris, especially when they have another Canadian, Nic Demski who can play RB. Signing Augustine would likely not involve a high salary as he is still not an established starter. However, LaPolice in Ottawa may pursue him as he knows how talented he is from Winnipeg, plus he has another Canadian RB in former Argo Brendan Gillanders, who could spell him off and who started the last three games of the season. Another team with a Canadian RB who spell off Augustine is Calgary who had Ante Milanovic-Litre, who also started three of the last four games of the season, so they might be interested in him. Hamilton, on the other hand, already has two good Canadian RBs in Maleek Irons and Sean Thomas Erlington, plus Anthony Coombs, so I doubt if Augustine would want to go there, even if the team were interested. Whether the Argos would pursue him is another question.
I agree Jerry, Augustine did a nice job last season when Harris was out of the lineup.
Keep in mind Augustine had a much superior line blocking for him that he may in Toronto (hopefully this is addressed this off season).

Augustine has RE-SIGNED (;o)) with the Bombers - and good for him sticking with a GC Champ team and the club that gave him a shot to play in the pros (CFL undrafted); he will still be behind Harris (and perhaps last year's draft pick B. Oliveira - who was injured after playing some early last year); that plus. as you mention, Demski can take carries at tailback and produce.
Imagine - a CFL team going 4 deep at tailback and all Canadians - and the won the GC doing so ??? = WTF - some GOB heads must have exploded somewhere ;o)
Keep the signings coming, Murphy and the gang working hard to upgrade the Argos talent level in some definite areas of need.👍

Derek Walker has worked out with the Dallas Cowboys. If he signs and sticks with a NFL team, the Argos will need another deep threat.
Masoli re-signing (ahem) in Hamilton takes a big name out of the pending FA QB market. Arbuckle, Nichols, Collaros, Streveler and MBT are available at the moment along with Franklin, Prukop and (I assume) Jennings. Three teams (Wpg, Tor and Ott) need a starter and backup, and at least three other teams (BC, Edm and Sask, likely also Calgary) are likely looking for a backup. I'd still like to end up with Collaros and MBT, but could live with Arbuckle instead of either guy. Would hate to lose Prukop but I don't think I'd be comfortable with him as the No. 2, and we need to continue developing O'Connor.
