2024 Transactions

The team has released backup Canadian (National) DE Daniel Joseph after a short stint with the team. This leaves Robbie Smith and Rookie Tyson Hergott as the lone Canadian (National) DEs on the roster.

With the release of Joseph, you wonder if the Argos have heard something about Luiji Vilain's status with Carolina. He is fourth in the OLB depth chart with the Panthers so maybe the Argos could think he could shake loose and join the team in September.

It's plausible, too, that Joseph's release means that Orimolade is ready to return.

He has sat out the full 6 games and practiced full all last week, so I would say very likely. Argos have been starting 8 Canadians anyway, so it’s not an issue to drop him.

Fullback Albert Awachie has been released.

Maybe Giffen is finally healthy enough to be employed at an extra blocker in certain situations?

Possibly. Giffen was healthy enough to go full in practices two weeks ago but was never activated.

The current injury report had McKellar unable to practise today.

Wouldn’t shock me to see Calver move to FB/TE and Adeleke brought into the line-up

Not surprised.

So, what has been the big holdback on Adeleke getting on to the game roster? Is he still a bit nicked and they're waiting for him to get to 100% ? Why on earth would they not want a veteran, proven D playmaker not just on the roster but starting on the D ? Could it be the roster thinkers here only want the minimum number of Canadians dressed = GOB sacrosanct - so excess Canadians get stashed on the IR (while giving raw rookie Americans roster / playing time) ? Or maybe they're trying to save a few $chekels on Adeleke's huge contract and saving him for a late season run. Might be nice to host a play-off game however.

CFL.ca transactions show Mason Pierce back on the PR while Quincy Mauger added to Game Roster.

It also looks like Isaac Darkangelo got released on August 18.
