While I’ve got some sympathy for the idea that maybe the Argos need more out of their GM, watching that video makes it pretty clear that Pinball was a major reason for the Holley signing, and it may even be true that no other GM could have secured Holley’s signature at such an unusual time in the cycle.

Holley will be a cornerstone of the team in 2026. Maybe this means Rogers will spend enough to keep us contenders after all.

I don't know if Holley is a cornerstone, but certainly part of the backbone. He is not Dr Death Fennell after all, but then few are.

He may not be Fennell but Holley tied for the league lead in sacks in 2024, and there every reason to believe he’ll be one of top D-linemen next year too.

He will certainly help a major weakness last season, the interior d-line wasn’t up to par.

I think Joe Wallace has a lot of potential as well. Holley and Wallace in the interior could be real beasts for the Argos.

One of several positions they need to look heavily at: recruit, sign FAs (known or new guys) and maybe use a draft pick there = have lots of competition for TC. Same deal for RB and D backfield.

I can’t argue this, I’d also add the need to upgrade the O-Line.
