February 13 - Free Agency Opens

[OV Argo]

The Argos have signed former BC DB Quincy Mauger.

Played safety for them and then some at S-OLB last season; experienced TC competition.

Could be another Cassius Vaughn type acquisition. Lions fans felt he was released in order to play Canadian Adrian Greene at S. Not a performance related release.

Mauger was average to more like mediocre at safety for BC, IMO; that's typical CFL bafflegab though - an import player getting shafted to make room for a Canadian starting due to the dreaded ratio problem cliche. The Lions also released another average at best American player who got handed starting time, in DT Woody Baron; these guys usually find / get other CFL shots (as Baron did after the Als got rid of him).

I hope Mauger can step-up and be a good Argo D contributor - , maybe just as a depth DB; maybe at S-OLB, but I hope he doesn't get handed the job over Adeleke.

Fraser Sopik - former U Sports D player of the year - is the more impressive signing for me - can likely play reps at either OLB spot.


Hope Carey still has plenty of gas left in the tank; he was IMO about the best back in the league a few seasons ago.

I love the Carey signing, I think they brought him in to mentor and occasionally spell Adeboboye. There will be packages where they are both on the field too. But I think #21 will be a breakout star in the league this year.
