2017 Free Agent Tracker

[Wobbler]

We can only hope that the organization is able to make a decent case to FAs based on as-yet unannounced plans. Not long to wait now...

Owens actually did get more offers but took less money from the Ticats because that is the one that was local. I'd like for the Argos to take him again, if nothing else than for locker room and sideline leadership plus he can still produce!

That was the party line, but I am not so sure it's completely true. My memory is hazy, didn't Owens panic a little? I don't remember how far into free agency it was until he signed, but I think it was rather quick. There may have been interest elsewhere, but he jumped on the Cats actual offer before it was retracted. As I mentioned before, the move revitalized his career and I think he would fit in well back here, at the right price of course.

I must admit, the delay in management has now got me concerned. I would have thought for sure everything would be in place by the draft. Gonzo makes some good points that the Argos might face. However, they did resign 5 nationals, including Coombs, who many thought would bolt for the Peg. I still stand by the fact Tristan O. signed for more money and all the great stories are coincidence or "cherries on the cake" stuff. The Bombers aren't saying his contract, so it's likely overvalued. I wouldn't be surprised if it's 150 000+ which is 20 000+ more than the reported Argos offer, enough for any player to play in Canada's most violent city. I thought the Argos offer was fair, keeping in mind they already have some big contracts on the line.

Tristan O's agent tweeted he is now the highest paid DE in the CFL. All speculation but Argos offered $130k, Cappiocoti is at $150k, so is he making more than that? He might well be.

I believe he also deleted that tweet, so he may have been talking out of his a$$.

All these CFL salary numbers - thrown around by the media, (and a certain fan site where some are obsessed by them) - are good for a laugh; totallly unsubstantiated, rumours and gossip. Sounds like a bunch of gossiping old ladies to me, but I get that there is a CFL $M$.

If i had to guess though - the likes of John Chick, Odell Willis and Charleston Hughes are pretty well paid CFL DEs. And the Bummers Westerman might be pretty po'd if they handed Okpo better money than he's getting.
