TBURGESS Posted September 1, 2023 Report Posted September 1, 2023 Argo's are absolutely paying Kelly for what they expect him to do, not what he has done. Personally, I think it's an overpay, but time will tell. Wanna-B-Fanboy, Bigblue204 and Wideleft 2 1

Bigblue204 Posted September 1, 2023 Report Posted September 1, 2023 He's won 9 games...he's been impressive enough imo. But I'm surprised at the timing and price of the contract. The 1st half of the year was the easiest schedule in the CFL by a mile. Imo the Argos should have let the season play out a bit longer...I mean they HAD to re-sign the guy. But I think they may have been able to save a bit on the contract. Wideleft, Geebrr and bb1 3

If you’re a team with a young un proven qb or journey men he’s an excellent addition to fight for the starting spot in camp and have the other guy back up. Teams like ham ott mtl could jump in on that. Teams like Edmonton maybe ssk could go after him to start for a bit more money.
