Mason Pierce gets cut? - bit of a surprise IMO, considering lack of depth/experience in the current roster secondary. Thought this kid was really coming on last season as a DB (but under a different DC). Football is a tough, what have you done for me lately business at times.

I wonder if this is a prelude to an ex NFL player being signed??

I figure it was to make room for the recently signed Kenneth George JR.

It's odd someone like Pierce gets cut this late in the season...

Gill, you may well be right. But George is presently on the active roster and Pierce and Johnson were on the practice roster. By releasing both Pierce and Johnson the team no longer has any DB on the practice roster. With all the DBs being released by NFL teams, it wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibilities that the team might want to add a DB to the practice roster.
I know it is highly unlikely but I'd love to see the team make a pitch for Campbell. He is now 31 but he should have a couple of more playing years left. Campbell will probably want to see if any NFL practice roster places open up but for practice roster purposes, age might not in his favour. A bit of a reach but stranger things have happened.

What's confusing Shatto, is in the transactions page on CFL.CA, it lists George being on the Argos PR....but on the Argos site it lists him on the active roster like you said....so which is it?

Not really. He was relegated to the practice roster twice this year.

I think Campbell would be too high a price tag for them. They would probably target younger guys to add to thr PR. To me, the secondary has been improving all year. Similar to 2022, when they started off really shaky.

McFadden was cut and brought back as an instant starter. The twin DCs might be a bit confused figuring out secondary talent and schemes.
