    Wow. I am very surprised. This is really good news. Hopefully he will decide to stay in Canada for the rest of his career and the Argos have him for at least 6-8 years.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    This is excellent news for us, as Franklin from what little I have seen over the years appears to be the real deal.
    It now appears more than likely Ray will retire.

    You've been hoping that Ray will retire for years. He wins the Grey Cup and has one of his best seasons ever and people are still trying to push him out the door.

    Argotom might be pushing for Ray to retire but not me. I hope he signs on for two more years.

    No, I have not said that now.
    The current silence is same to what happened last year with Henry Burris when eventually he came out and officially retired.
    Regardless, it is expected Ricky will advise some time this month of his status.

    I didn’t take your comments as you wanting Ray to retire.
    Popp should be commended for proactively acquiring and locking Franklin up at a very modest price.
    I still think Ray will retire but would be thrilled if he returned, either way the Argos have assembled a pretty impressive stable of young promising QB’s just in case.

    I think the greatest strength of Frankin is his confidence. He knows he can do the job and has proven it every time he gets in the game. It is what Collaros used to have, especially his last year in Toronto and first year in Hamilton. I see similarities with Franklin's arrival in Toronto.
