January 31, 20205 yr comment_459242 Risky venture for Lapo....Arbuckle is hardly proven and was marginally succesfull in a system he has been in for 2 years...with a decent team upfront of him...now he goes to a new system...a lot of pressure, and a weaker supporting cast

January 31, 20205 yr comment_459246 wonder what the numbers are...any thing over 400k in hard money/bonus is a severe over pay
January 31, 20205 yr comment_459248 Well Lapo gets his guy. Curious what the $ is. Didn't notice it here but Toronto got Lokombo from Montreal for an 8th rounder.
January 31, 20205 yr comment_459249 Can't help but notice the flurry of signings yesterday and today. Seems to me the new FA window has spurred on this activity. CFL FA Frenzy on TSN is going to be a bust!

He got basically the only guy other than Nichols available. That is for sure. Has to sting a little for Matty.
January 31, 20205 yr comment_459251 At least Arbuckle is healthy and is coming from a good system. So if I'm an Ottawa fan at least I have some positive things to look forward for. Nichols I guess goes to Toronto.... do they platoon him with MBT?
January 31, 20205 yr comment_459252 210k signing bonus..ability to make 470k this yr...495k next...yikes for a first time QB1...

My thought since LaPo signed in Ottawa was, we'll see if he really wants Nichols as his guy, and we'll find out if he becomes a free agent. I imagine they talked to Nichols agent, and elected to go with the young buck with upside. Not surprised. Nichols has zero leverage now in negotiations with Toronto. Either sign what they offer, or go play the field for a backup contract. If the Argos make an offer, it will be performance based bonuses. Doing anything but would be foolish for them business wise!

Or a starter goes down on the 2nd play of the season and he cashes in (if ready to go).

January 31, 20205 yr comment_459261 This will be interesting to see. Matty has no other option to get a starting money/job other than Toronto. and there's no available decent starting QB for Toronto, than Matty. Who's the first to blink will win the negotiation.

Arbuckle had better numbers than Reilly and Ottawa actually has a pretty nice OL - ignite last year with no RB or QB ha this is a very nice move - for sure he’s at 430-450
