    What team do you think will pay him the type of money he got in his last contract? I don't think anyone will pay him that much this time around.
    CFL alive and well all others can go to Hell!

    Yeah I agree I can't see any other team paying him what he made last year sure most teams would be interested but not at his asking price. Not sure if Owens knows the finances of the CFL for an aging international player that he more then likely will have to realize that he will have to take a big pay cut. I hope the Argos don't over spend for him they signed Ray who is injury prone and getting up there in age that we shouldn't be to desperate to sign another one like him.

    You are aware that Rays contract is very cap friendly do you not?

    I doubt any team would, but you never really know I guess. As I've mentioned previously (many times actually); Owens' future here is all dependent on how much of a salary reduction he's willing to take. I think another team would willing to pay Owens more than Barker would; Winnipeg as an example - depending on who they get or miss out on in Free Agency.
