2016-2017 Offseason transactions

Tells me that there will likely be some changes on the staff, but not at the HC spot.

A distinct possibility Angelo, wonder who they could be talking to as many other CFL teams have recently announced that their entire coaching staffs are returning in 2017.

There are a lot of coaches with experience in the league that are currently not under contract anywhere. It doesn't have to be someone that is currently tied to another team.

Maybe that, but also maybe none of the Argos' free agent signings thus far was exactly a big, in demand FA name, with suitors about to be calling with lotsa ca$h.

Because you've spoken to player personnel guys and GM's or coaches to know this.

Classic Leo Cahill negotiating. "I've got a great offer on the table. You get on that plane without signing and I'll personally call the NFL team that's interested and tell them there is no competing offer".

He laid this out in the book he wrote with Scott Young "Goodbye Argos."

Of course as we all know, Leo was not playing in a salary cap world, and CFL could pay comparable salary (or even more in some cases) to NFL in those days.

That's why I said maybe, get it? Sorry to hurt your Jim & Scotty are the greatest feelings though - bet you talk to them everyday.
