thats funny. when i think of recycled players, adeleke is pretty high up that list. bless this passportOV Argo wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2024 4:36 pmAngeloV wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2024 3:18 pmWhat do you really think Adeleke is at this stage of his career coming off injury?

Stick to your own version of "true"; hilarious that some on these football forums can't grasp the difference between 'truth" and opinion.
Adeleke is a veteran proven D play-maker in this league; he's played S-OLB (at first some with the Stamps), mostly safety but also all other secondary positions. Maybe he's old, washed-up and injury damaged. I'll take a versatile, smart, fast veteran who knows the Canadian game over weak, inexperienced, still learning the game, rookie Americans (unless it's a Stiggers level athlete/talent) 7 days of the week. GOBs think differently though. The number of rookie or mediocre or lost American DBs ( most of the RedBlacks & Elks secondary or Marcus Sayles types and about 15 other currents I could name) who get recycled and chance after chance in this league is telling. Same old CFL $hite though.

Re: 2024 Transactions
Adeleke was signed as a FA by the Argos; unlike some other D players around the league - totally raw rookies with zip experience in Canadian ball or cuts from other teams, that get handed starting gigs, and continue to get playing time when they $uck - bless their passports though.Ryan52 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2024 2:40 pmthats funny. when i think of recycled players, adeleke is pretty high up that list. bless this passportOV Argo wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2024 4:36 pmAngeloV wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2024 3:18 pm

Re: 2024 Transactions
I wonder if we will see the Argos signing any players who were either released from an NFL team or failed to get signed by an NFL team, in the near future? Presently the team has only 8 players on the Practice Roster. The maximum number of Americans on the P. R. can be increased after the NFL cutdown so we might see some signings over the next couple of weeks.
Re: 2024 Transactions
The NFL cutdown day isn't the big deal that it used to be, as so many of the cuts now wait it out for another NFL chance; however, there will likely be a few additions to the PR in the upcoming weeks even though it will likely be more about taking a look at these players for next year than anything else.shatto wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2024 11:16 pm I wonder if we will see the Argos signing any players who were either released from an NFL team or failed to get signed by an NFL team, in the near future?

Re: 2024 Transactions
This can be a valuable opportunity to bring in players for evaluation for next season and to expose them to the team’s culture. A great example of this is Benjie Franklin who after a rough start, has emerged as a solid corner IMO.ArgoRavi wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2024 8:29 amThe NFL cutdown day isn't the big deal that it used to be, as so many of the cuts now wait it out for another NFL chance; however, there will likely be a few additions to the PR in the upcoming weeks even though it will likely be more about taking a look at these players for next year than anything else.shatto wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2024 11:16 pm I wonder if we will see the Argos signing any players who were either released from an NFL team or failed to get signed by an NFL team, in the near future?

I suspect Murphy and his extensive front office staff (kidding) are working on bringing in PR depth and that signings are imminent.primetime321 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2024 12:35 pmThis can be a valuable opportunity to bring in players for evaluation for next season and to expose them to the team’s culture.

Re: 2024 Transactions
I see on the CFL transactions page that John Daka, who has been on the suspended list all season, has been deleted, although his status is listed as being on the Game Roster. I wonder if the DEL was a mistake and he was truly added to the game roster. Also, Tyson Hergott was placed on the practice roster. Is simply more nonsense from the league office? We shall see.gilthethrill wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2024 1:46 pmI suspect Murphy and his extensive front office staff (kidding) are working on bringing in PR depth and that signings are imminent.primetime321 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2024 12:35 pmThis can be a valuable opportunity to bring in players for evaluation for next season and to expose them to the team’s culture.

Re: 2024 Transactions
CFL's transactions list often makes little sense to us laypeople. I suspect the only way Daka could be deleted would be to briefly place him on the active list. Hergott's demotion to PR would suggest that a NAT is coming off the injured list this week -- perhaps Brissett?primetime321 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2024 7:24 pm I see on the CFL transactions page that John Daka, who has been on the suspended list all season, has been deleted, although his status is listed as being on the Game Roster.

Re: 2024 Transactions
The fact that Brissett was a full participant in practice may explain this. If Hergott was demoted to the practice roster then his position may have to be replaced, perhaps by Daka. We'll see if Brinkman also comes off of the injured list this week, maybe to replace Ceresna, who has a shoulder injury.paulwoods13 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2024 8:27 pmCFL's transactions list often makes little sense to us laypeople.

Maybe some of these questions can be answered by those who have attended practice lately.
Re: 2024 Transactions
My guess with Hergott is because Thiadric Hansen is likely returning this week.primetime321 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2024 7:24 pmI see on the CFL transactions page that John Daka, who has been on the suspended list all season, has been deleted, although his status is listed as being on the Game Roster.
