    Around the CFL - 2021

    New year, new league thread...

    Masoli signs a one-year deal with the Tiger-Cats. Looks like they are secure at QB depth for the season.

    Hope, at the end of the day connects us all, no matter how different we are

      Great move for Hamilton to secure the best 1-2 QB depth for a truly legit GC contender. The combined contracts for Masoli and Evans would still likely be less costly than whatever Calgary and BC will be on the hook for with BLM and Reilly and whomever their #2s will be. Probably on par with what the Riders will be paying Fajardo and Franklin.

        TORONTO — The Toronto Argonauts have acquired national offensive lineman Cody Speller, along with the 52nd overall selection in the 2021 CFL Draft, from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, it was announced on Wednesday.

        In exchange, the Bombers received the Argos sixth-round (48th overall) 2021 CFL Draft pick.

        Speller, 26, played 13 regular-season games for the Bombers in 2019, starting eight at left guard and all three playoff games including the Grey Cup at centre.

            Maybe there is a bit more to the story. It might not have been as much about giving him away as getting something for him while they could even if only moving up a few spots in the latter stages of the draft. Speller will become an FA in less than 2 weeks. He grew up in the Golden Horseshoe born in the outskirts of Hamilton and playing collegiately at McMaster. Looks to me like the Bombers already knew he was not going to re-sign with them without first testing the free agency waters perhaps wanting to be closer to home for personal, family or business reasons. Maybe the Bombers could have gotten more elsewhere but any team not named Argos or Ticats likely faced the same issue; he would go to free agency before signing with them. One more thought to add. At this point the Argos aren't really acquiring Speller. They are merely acquiring negotiation rights for the remaining window leading up to Feb 9. Speller could sign elsewhere like Hamilton leaving them nothing to show for the minor draft position upgrade Winnipeg received.

                The Calgary Stampeders and Toronto Argonauts have made a big deal, per sources.

                Toronto has acquired the rights to receiver Eric Rogers, defensive end Cordarro Law, and defensive back Robertson Daniel from Calgary in exchange for a fourth round pick in the 2021 Canadian draft, and a third round pick in the 2021 Global draft.
                Rogers is a two-time West Division all-star who has made 27 touchdown receptions in just 45 career regular season games, making him easily one of the CFL’s best red zone targets. The six-foot-four, 215-pound target has two 1,000-yard, ten-touchdown seasons with the Stamps.

                The 32-year-old Law had a strong season in 2019 when he made 41 tackles, ten sacks, and two forced fumbles. He has made 32 career sacks over five CFL seasons, all of which have come in Calgary.

                Daniel made three interceptions in eight games with the Stamps in 2019. He is best-known for playing an entire game while wearing Joker face paint.

                The trade allows the Argos to try and sign Rogers, Law and Daniel prior to the opening of free agency on Tuesday, February 9 at noon eastern time. Even though the negotiating window begins on Monday, January 31 at noon eastern time, Toronto has the chance to put pen to paper prior to the market opening.

                  I guess this is one of those "first right of signing" trades, hence the apparent one-sidedness in favour of the Argos. I guess these players weren't going to sign in Calgary.

                  Don't mind seeing Rogers and Law finding their way to the other division.
                  Out of my mind; back in five minutes.

                    Exactly. Same as the Speller trade. For what they gave up between the two deals even if they sign only 2 of the 4 they come out ahead. If they don't sign any they didn't give up much to roll the dice on the 4. If they land all 4 holy home run. Great low risk, high reward gamble by the Argos IMO.

                        Yikes - a 220k bonus due on Feb 1st.
                        There are really no free agent QB's out there (other than Pipkin) that could be a starter out of the gate. Unless they've got an ace up their sleeve, or believe in Bethel-Thompson, the Argos may have to get their head coach to throw on the pads.

                        edit: Hearing that Nick Arbuckle could also be released by the Redblacks as he is waffling on re-structuring and is due a big bonus tomorrow as well. Perhaps the Argos make another bid at signing him?

                          Interesting...Arbuckle in TO, Nichols in Ottawa?

                          Nichols seems to have struggled to find a place to be stable and happy in his position. Hope his next stop works out for him.
