2022-2023 Offseason Hopes and Transactions

Keeping Allen is critically important, but the shortage of good tackles is only going to get worse with the new leagues starting up, so IMO it makes perfect sense to keep Cage and Tate. I've complained enough about letting Ivey go that it would make no sense for me to take any other stance.

Agreed about the lack of good tackles especially with these Spring Leagues popping up like weeds, but I am curious why CFL players aren’t requesting their releases so they can sign with one of them?

That's a good thing, isn't it?

I have to wonder if some players are thinking about playing for much less money while not giving their bodies not much off an off-season and risking injury that costs them their higher paying CFL job. There is also Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and since rest is the best cure for concussions whether some players may not be willing to bear the increase of two seasons of football a year, even when they have had no official concussion but have had many repeated hits to the head on tackles or with the ground.

Paul, I have to tease you a little. You were unhappy about Collins, Decoud, and Ivey all ending up in Edmonton but Collins was released early in the season by the Elks, Decoud has just been released, and the Argos ended up not missing Ivey one bit!

I have to disagree, I'mafraid. Ivey would have been way better than Shane Richards was when we ran into injuries to all of our OTs.

And I have to disagree with you there. Richards was much better than you seem to think he was.
