With FA coming up in about a week's time and according to this rodpederson.com blog, Andy Fantuz was given a very lucrative contract offer at 200K per season which would make him the highest paid receiver in the CFL and he still declined. Now obviously Tillman will make a push for Fantuz to join the Esks, and now with Ray and Burris in Toronto and Hamilton respectively, I don't see much cap room. Having Fantuz come home, would be major news, add lots of media attention and a big name to Southern Ontario (on top of Burris and Ray), personally I'd like to see Fantuz in an Argos uniform, but not for the money he wants. The Argos obviously need help at receiver, will Barker go after the FA route or chose to bring in young guys through the draft or down South. Can't wait until FA starts even if it doesn't go the way I've hyped it up in my own head.
