With this being deadline day, I thought a separate thread would be in order to discuss not only all the Argo transactions, but all league transactions that take place today.

Is the deadline at 5PM Eastern?
Thing could be heating up for the Argonauts in the trade front according to Matthew Scianitti, let’s see if anything actually happens.

Taylor reporting Collaros traded to Winnipeg--anyone have any details?
Whoops--In my haste meant Naylor
Collaros traded to Winnipeg:

Not a bad trade--a definite 5th round choice and if Collaros resigns with Winnipeg the additional 3rd choice becomes a 1st rounder.
I always liked Collaros as a QB... however with his history of concussions, I did not see him as part of the future for the Argos. I would have liked to see him play in double blue again, however don't think we have lost anything by trading him.
I guess that shows what the desparate teams with no veteran back up QB's think of MBT and Franklin. They didn't have a round 9 to trade.
How are we going to keep all this straight on draft day?
I don't read it (the trade) that way? I read it as the Argos are giving Winnipeg Collaros plus their (the Argos) 5th round pick in exchange for Winnipeg's 3rd round pick. Or am I reading it wrong?
"The Bombers sent a third round draft pick to the Argos in exchange for Collaros and a fifth round draft pick." from https://www.tsn.ca/toronto-argonauts...bers-1.1378878
The part about the 3rd round pick becoming a 1st round seems to be right.
This is not a big loss or really any kind of a loss for us.
Unfortunately due to injuries, Zach's best years are behind him and he should retire for his long term health.
will Argos have the 1st pick again this year? Who did they pick last year and what happened to him?
argofan81---think your read is correct. So a 5th for a 3rd--not as good a trade as first thought unless Collaros resigns with Winnipeg. ---then it becomes a 5th for a 1st.
So in effect we've given up a strong fourth round pick and a strong fifth round pick for a weak third round pick? (Obviously Winnipeg has no intention of resigning him)
Not a big deal, but... not a win.
It will be a photo finish with Ottawa for the 1st overall pick. Last year Jim Popp picked Shawn Richards offensive lineman out of Oklahoma State. The jury is still out. May be able to play right guard eventually if Pinball can get him to turn that baby fat into muscle.
