RB Brady Oliveira, Gregg Bell, James Butler, Johnny Augustine, Dedrick Mills
OL Dejon Allen, Jarell Broxton, Coulter Woodmansey, Jordan Murray
QB Taylor Powell
DL Julian Howsare, Jake Ceresna, Jonah Tavai, Jaylon Hutchings, Lorenzo Mauldin, Clarence Hicks, Willie Jefferson, Brandon Barlow
DB Jamal Peters, Dashaun Amos, Stavros Katsantonis, Destin Talbert, Evan Holm, Deatrick Nichols
KR Isaiah Wooden
WR Kurleigh Gittens

Not wise to overpay for any of these guys. If you can get one of those backs for value, sure. Unfortunately, guys I do like, like Kats and Gittens, the team already has young studs in those positions. Argos need to prioritize the re-tooling of their lines as the rest of the roster doesn’t look too bad. No need to spend $ on flashy toys this off-season.

I disagree re Katsatonis. Slwyka looked very good this season, but IMO he's well below the level of Katsantonis, and the latter's NAT status makes him even more valuable. I agree we don't really need Gittens altho if Ungerer walks and we continue to play three NAT receivers, we will need a replacement for him.

Do you think Safety was much a problem though? One that requires big free agency money? Both Slwyka and Blackburn are only 24. Lots of time to grow into more coverage roles. Slwyka finally laying some lumber late season had me smiling. I’d try to resign Franklin and spend the rest of the money on the lines.
