But for only a 5th rounder in 2026 does seem to be a bit of a give away. Carter comes highly recommended and size wise he seems a good fit for our game. If he does sign and ends up having a great rookie season we will probably see him leave for the NFL anyway, with our ridiculous rules. OK, I'll try not to be bitter but it does irk me that we loose our rookies after one year. Ben Grant give a very good outline of why the move makes some sense.

Carey is a FA next month. I don't believe the Argos will bring him back.

Terell Ford went to camp with the Packers after his rookie season, even though all NATs are required to sign three-year contracts. I see no reason why the Argos would have to do anything to enable Holley to sign in the NFL. (Regardless, he is going to sign in the NFL, and the reasons for this contract change will no doubt remain a mystery.)

I think by releasing a player, it allows him to take longer to find a team to sign with. It no longer has to be during that negotiating window. He may have a team that likes him, but can't offer him a signing bonus until a time after the window. Elks did the same with Jake Julien today.
