Star State Grupo Argos and Grupo Sura have signed a Spin-Off Agreement through which they agreed on a transaction to eliminate the cross-shareholdings they have maintained for over 46 years — a relationship that has enabled both companies to become leaders and benchmarks in their respective sectors This will be achieved through absorption spin-offs which will be simultaneously approved and executed This operation will achieve the following objectives: Jorge Mario VelásquezPresident of Grupo Argos This is a single operation in which each shareholder of Grupo Argos will retain their stake in Grupo Argos and receive a direct stake in Grupo Sura Below is a step-by-step description of the transaction structure: Watch the explanatory video of the transaction: Grupo Argos will spin off its investment in Grupo Sura (197 million shares) in favor of Grupo Sura Grupo Sura will spin off its investment in Grupo Argos (286 million shares) in favor of Grupo Argos Grupo Argos will absorb the investment that Grupo Sura held in Grupo Argos (286 million shares) Grupo Sura will absorb the investment that Grupo Argos held in Grupo Sura (197 million shares) Grupo Argos will issue 286 million shares in favor of all Grupo Sura shareholders in exchange for the own shares it received from Grupo Sura Since Grupo Argos was one of the shareholders of Grupo Sura the shares corresponding to Grupo Argos will be canceled thereby increasing the ownership percentage of all other Grupo Argos shareholders Grupo Sura will issue 197 million shares in favor of all Grupo Argos shareholders in exchange for the own shares it received from Grupo Argos Since Grupo Sura was one of the shareholders of Grupo Argos the shares corresponding to Grupo Sura will be canceled thereby increasing the ownership percentage of all other Grupo Sura shareholders The common shareholders of the company being spun off will receive common shares of the beneficiary company the preferred shareholders will receive preferred shares each shareholder of Grupo Argos will keep their current shares in Grupo Argos — which will represent a 20% greater percentage of participation in the economic rights of the company — and will receive 0.23 shares of Grupo Sura for each share they initially held each shareholder will maintain their current shares in Grupo Sura and will receive 0.72 shares of Grupo Argos for each share they had before the transaction This means that a hypothetical 5% participation in the economic rights of Grupo Argos will represent a 6% participation in Grupo Argos in addition to a new 3% participation in Grupo Sura a hypothetical 5% participation in the economic rights of Grupo Sura will represent a 6% participation in Grupo Sura in addition to a new 2% participation in Grupo Argos These ratios are due to the existing relationship between the total number of outstanding shares of the companies and the number of shares they hold as cross-ownership This operation will be submitted for consideration by the Shareholders’ Meetings of Grupo Argos and Grupo Sura in accordance with corporate governance guidelines and applicable regulations Government authorizations will also be processed including those required from the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia The company will hold an investor conference on Thursday The number of shares to be spun off and the referenced ratios have considered that (i) Cementos Argos will dispose of its stake in Grupo Sura so that its shareholders will directly hold a stake in that company resulting in Grupo Argos receiving approximately 15 million additional shares of Grupo Sura beyond those it currently holds and (ii) the shares owned by vote-inhibiting trust will also be part of the transaction These ratios may change due to variations in the number of outstanding shares of Grupo Sura and Grupo Argos at the time the spin-offs are finalized incorporating new areas for community well-being and extensions to both the bike path and contemplative trails While Shedeur Sanders has his sights set on an NFL career there's a CFL team that's leaving its door open just in case The Toronto Argonauts have reportedly added quarterback Shedeur Sanders to their exclusive negotiation list, according to Justin Dunk of 3DownNation was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round (144th overall) of last week's 2025 NFL draft after an unprecedented slide down the board The University of Colorado standout was considered by many as a first-round talent and top QB prospect entering the draft he had to wait till Day 3 to hear his name called and was the sixth quarterback selected In his senior season with the Buffaloes last year 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions through 13 games His 74.0 completion percentage led all of FBS in 2024 and his career mark of 71.8 per cent holds the all-time record in FBS history The 23-year-old ended up as the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and was named a second-team All-American after he led Colorado to a 9-4 record — their most wins since 2016 Sanders is not a given for the Browns' roster heading into the 2025 NFL season Cleveland's QB room already included veterans Joe Flacco and Deshaun Watson but they also traded for former first-rounder Kenny Pickett and drafted Dillon Gabriel out of Oregon in the third round Which may just be Toronto's thinking in adding him to their exclusion negotiation list CFL by-laws state that teams can claim exclusive rights for up to 45 players by placing them on their negotiation lists removed or traded from the lists

Since he joined the football operations team in 2014, Vince Magri had been a major component of the Argos draft preparation, but shortly after last year’s draft the assistant general manager announced he was leaving his hometown of Toronto to join the scouting staff of the NFL’s Buffalo Bills Michael “Pinball” Clemons remained the man in charge The general manager would still have senior advisor to the general manager John Murphy and head coach Ryan Dinwiddie providing major input special teams coordinator Mickey Donovan did a ton of preparation but this year a new face would be given a louder voice The increased responsibility was awarded to Marcus Grandison who for the past three years has worked in the team’s video department and was promoted to scouting assistant and quality control coach this year The Toronto native joined the Argos from Simon Fraser University where he was not only on the team’s coaching staff His role this year was to organize the prospects His work started just after Magri shuffled off to Buffalo and culminated with Tuesday’s drafts It was a bit overwhelming for his first year in his additional new role “It was like drinking from a water hose,” he told Argonauts.ca of his first experience Grandison was among the first to arrive at the Argos football operations office at Coca-Cola Coliseum located three John Haggerty punts east of BMO Field He would be preceded in the office by Melissa Frith the team’s director of football operations They would be joined by Clemons and Murphy before the Global draft began The office used for the “war room” is roughly 15 feet by 15 feet with three of the walls adorned with magnetic boards each filled with individual magnets for each player One wall was filled with the rosters of the other eight CFL teams The magnets on the draft wall would include each eligible player’s name Across the top there were abbreviations for each position; quarterbacks A separate column midway down the left side featured just three names of fullback/tight end prospects Written on the board next to some of the players was a letter; N was for a player who had signed with an NFL team and S for a player who said they would be going back to school next year as all of the rankings were on Grandison’s computer A handful of minutes before the clock struck 11:00 the voice of CFL associate vice president of football operations Ryan Janzen appeared on a speakerphone which was located in the middle of a boardroom table located closest to the east wall with his computer screen opened to the team’s draft preparation with Clemons seated at the table on which the speakerphone was placed Janzen announced that Calgary was on the clock With Haggerty and Jeremy Edwards both under contract so each time one was selected it was good news for the Boatmen The team realistically had its heart set on two players There was one player they assumed would be chosen before they had their first pick The hope was that at least one of the other two dropped to them with the ninth pick When Calgary selected a punter first overall there were smiles in the room Ears perked up when Ryan Janzen announced a trade that saw Winnipeg acquire the second pick in the draft By the time the Ticats had made the eighth overall selection with both of the Argos preferred options still on the table They were able to get a player they wanted all along who started his final 38 games as a left tackle at the University of Connecticut He just signed a contract with the Arizona Cardinals of the NFL The selection was made via speakerphone at 11:11 by Murphy A post shared by Toronto Argonauts (@torontoargos) “He’s a starting offensive tackle at an NCAA program,” said Murphy when asked about the pick “He’s going to get a good opportunity to get looked at at Arizona He’s someone who could dress as a Global (player) at a position that’s different from what we’ve done before.” A quick round of handshakes and fist bumps quickly gave way to discussion about the 18th pick in the draft but with only two non-kickers/punters chosen in the first eight picks of round two the other player the Argos had targeted as a potential first rounder was still available At 11:18 Grandison hit unmute on the conference call and selected Soane Toia A post shared by Toronto Argonauts (@torontoargos) “If Senn was gone we would have picked (Toia) there,” said Murphy The two rounds took just 18 minutes to complete able to walk away with the two players they had hoped to land Then the long wait began as there were six hours and 42 minutes to kill before the main event was to begin The draft time was changed to six o’clock to accommodate fans of one of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment’s other properties Last week the CFL opted to move the beginning of the draft forward that way fans who wanted to watch the Leafs and Ottawa Senators Game Five could also watch the first hour of the draft on TSN In the past there had been over an eight-hour waiting period between the end of the Global draft and the beginning of the main event This knocked two hours off the down period During the still lengthy break between drafts much was discussed The volume on one of the televisions in the room was turned up when TSN ran the Grey Cup version of its “CFL Wired” series allowing for a little reminiscing of a fondly remembered evening in Vancouver There was also discussion related to the upcoming draft as Murphy talked trade with a couple of other teams Argonauts.ca was curious about the results of several mock drafts conducted by the Argos Members of the coaching staff would each be responsible for filling the role of another CFL team drafting a player that they felt would best help that club The goal was to give the personnel department a relatively accurate idea of which players may be available at certain points in the draft The two players selected most often by the Argos with pick seven were Jeremiah Ojo a defensive end from the University of Montreal Murphy also mentioned Ojo when asked about which player he hoped could realistically fall to the seventh overall pick When asked about a player that he would pound the table for later in the draft the name Murphy mentioned was Istvan Assibo-Dadzie It was not the last time the Lancers’ name would be heard in that room Shand was his favourite player in the draft while he mentioned two players that he hoped would be available in later rounds His reason was that he was more invested in positions than players He didn’t want to be disappointed if he had his heart set on a player and he wasn’t available The GM preferred to make his preference known by position and have input on a player when it was time for the pick He was quick to point out that defensive line was the most important need in the draft lengthy conversation between Clemons and Murphy focusing on the giant Argos depth chart along the north wall of the office and how the night ahead may help fill any voids Clemons and Murphy were discussing a couple of potential deals each of which would involve the Argos moving back in the draft One involved giving up two Toronto picks for a pick and a roster player from another team The two discussed not only the ramifications the deal would have on the position played by the specific player The discussion stopped but resurfaced about half an hour later It was an offer that the team was seriously discussing but potentially all of their top targets as the seventh and sixteenth picks would both be involved That was a move the Argos were reluctant to make A couple of coaches stopped by the office to say hello Quarterbacks coach Mike Miller chatted about the two highest rated QBs in the draft while defensive line coach Greg Marshall stopped by to compliment front office in acquiring Soane Toia Grandison added the Argos war room to the league’s conference call The downside was that the room was suddenly filled with the stereotypical non-descript instrumental music you hear whenever you’re placed on hold It was one of the few disappointments of the evening Thankfully the musical interlude ended some ten minutes later when Janzen’s voice again was heard over the speaker He went through the ground rules of the draft mentioning that each team would have six minutes to make their pick in round one and three minutes in rounds three to eight Each pick would be sent to the league and its broadcast partners via email then the pick would be announced on the conference call the second that newly appointed CFL commissioner Stewart Johnston was announcing the selection on the TSN broadcast At 6:00 sharp Janzen put Calgary on the clock eight minutes later Johnson would do the same on TSN That didn’t mean the Stampeders had an extra eight minutes to make their choice They had to make their pick in the same six-minute span The conversation in the draft room is much like being in your fantasy draft people within the Argos room gave their opinions of the picks; some comments were complimentary At 6:35 Marshall was called back from the adjoining boardroom where he was sitting with the rest of the coaching staff There were still a couple of picks to go before the Argos were up and there were a few options The d-line coach talked about the strengths of each player and where they would fit into the Argos short term and long-term plans There was also still an option to potentially pull the trigger on a trade When the commissioner said the Winnipeg Blue Bombers were on the clock with the sixth pick the room went quiet for a couple of minutes as those in the room just stared at the board It made for an anxious period as they feared their Grey Cup opponents would take one of the two players the Argos had narrowed their choice down to: Ojo or Shand Ojo would join the team immediately and add depth to a positional group that was picked apart by free agency had just signed with the NFL’s Buffalo Bills meaning he wouldn’t be able to join the team until likely September at the earliest turn out to be the best player in the draft The Bombers didn’t make the decision any easier when they chose linebacker Connor Shay The Argos had to quickly decide whether to trade down or select either Ojo or Shand Because of the uncertainty of Shand’s availability it was Dinwiddie who made the final call to add Ojo now with a slight hope that Shand would fall to them in the second round Murphy called the other team’s GM for one final discussion The trade idea was nixed and the Argos decided to make the selection Murphy was so happy with the Ojo pick that he forgot the protocol was to email the selection to the league and instead announced it to everyone on the conference call Janzen quickly reminded everyone that during the period of the television broadcast the picks were to be emailed rather than announced High fives were exchanged as the Argos had their man the player whose magnet was listed above all others under the defensive end position Dinwiddie called Ojo to tell him the good news then commented back in the war room that the newest Argo had “The best interview at the Combine by far.” When asked by Argonauts.ca why the team liked their first pick so much his willingness to play the run game as well,” said the coach “We feel like he’s a guy that’s going to come in and be a problem for opposing offensive lines He’s an impact player and in round one you always want to get a guy who can play meaningful snaps in year one and we feel like he’s that guy.” “When you can win the Grey Cup and get one of the most athletic defensive linemen in the class There was no time to sit back and celebrate though The hope was that Shand would fall to them though they weren’t particularly confident he would They also discussed moving down in the draft would scare off teams from using a second-round pick to choose him Multiple teams were contacted about trading down In a perfect world the Argos would be able to move no more than a handful of picks back while being able to move up later in the draft They were taking the gamble that Shand would still be there they were confident a player they really liked would still be available if the LSU Tiger was gone Murphy suggested accepting BC’s offer of draft picks 19 and 29 for picks 16 and 37 It would allow them the opportunity to land one of their later targets with the first pick rather than the final pick of the fourth round It would allow them to have the first two selections of round four while still hopefully keeping them within range of selecting Shand even more so than just before the Ojo pick only Winnipeg stood between the Boatmen and their target When Argonauts.ca mentioned Shand’s name in passing during that period looked down as if a no-hitter or shutout had been mentioned before the game was over When the Bombers selected Laurier QB Taylor Elgersma they had traded back to the end of the second round and still were able to choose the player they almost selected a dozen picks earlier where for the second time in two picks the player listed above all others at a position this time in the category of interior defensive lineman The Shand magnet was removed from the wall A post shared by Toronto Argonauts (@torontoargos) “He was one of the top players on our board,” Dinwiddie said following the pick but we feel he’s one of the better d-linemen in the group and a guy we could get down the line to help us in the future.” When talking to Shand’s agent immediately after the selection Murphy was told the player was all smiles because in the last couple of days he had been signed by the Bills and drafted by the Argos the Scarborough native’s two favourite teams Drafting a player who has ended up in the NFL for a while has worked in the past for the Argos Tyler Holmes also spent some time in the NFL before starting for the Argos on the 2017 Grey Cup championship team The rest of the night provided little drama Discussions would be held before each of the selections without anything becoming heated The most interesting conversation revolved around Jalen Rayam a linebacker from the University of Texas at El Paso via Middle Tennessee State 225-pound linebacker was one of the players with the letter M for medical issue next to his name A post shared by Toronto Argonauts (@torontoargos) but was born in Calgary while his father Thomas an all-star offensive lineman and Grey Cup champion He’s an athlete who could eventually play at either the middle or weak side linebacker spots then needed rehab again last year with UTEP because of another injury suffered on the third play of the game in the season opener at Nebraska He was also the linebacker whose magnet was sitting in the highest slot on the linebacker list The magnets of the players selected after him were gone but his name was still perched in the number one position in the LB column Though suffering a couple of injuries in the last two seasons he was a high-end prospect when he entered the NCAA and put together solid video before the injuries Considering he was drafted as late as he was “It’s a little bit of a risk,” Dinwiddie told Argonauts.ca but we feel he’s a really good football player that we had high on our board We were willing to take that reach because of the (current Canadian) depth we have A post shared by Toronto Argonauts (@torontoargos) The other player the Argos ranked first at his position who was Joey Zorn a running back from the University of Windsor He was a safety at Michigan State before heading to UW and converting from a defensive to an offensive back He’s a player that may be able to help the Argos on special teams on day one The evening was a tremendous success for Toronto the team was discussing a player they were ready to take when just before it was the Argos pick A pivot was quickly made and the Argos would be happy with the player they selected instead of their initial target Clemons summed up the night’s proceedings in perfect Pinballese and will always be a night to remember for football families The defensive line was our greatest need and that was medicated by picks one and two.” It was a long day and everyone wanted to go home as training camp is just a couple of weeks away Shop the biggest savings on 1,000s of tech

systems as he goes along while keeping everything lodged imperfectly in memory He leads us through the landscapes of his installations and paintings leaving us at once amused and stranded without a playbook Scheibitz extends his and our reach from painting to drawing to sculpture to video where he stashes a seemingly infinite collection of observations and speculations It could almost be a stand-in for his brain—or a memory bank Tracking Scheibitz’s show through Tanya Bonakdar Gallery’s dispersed spaces a winding set of stairs to a room filled with modest-size paintings dominated by large eyes emerging from an unspecified gestural backdrop They seem to track our viewing throughout the room a telling centerpiece presides: an all-embracing video projection that could be viewed as a cabinet of curiosities filled with objects as well as fragments of paintings an extract from a Scheibitz canvas along with random sightings The artist has described how he uses this exposed archive when he gives talks or seeks inspiration for new works not knowing where he has put things in the past In the center of the room is a large table with samples of models and tools from his actual studio featuring many forms and colors and tidbits of ideas—in all In this exhibition’s allusive mix of paintings we encounter the image of a graphic X that recalls the pop and street artist KAWS as well as stairs to nowhere floating in space that evoke Dutch conceptualist M.C on the shelves of Scheibitz’s projected archive and on the surrounding walls art history nestles in the spaces between images with Picasso imagery holding court in the central gallery downstairs which is filled with large paintings that refer to the big guns of historical painting Scheibitz calls into play the figure of Argos and his all-seeing eyes Time and space prevail—these are Scheibitz’s prime building tools as he composes from a lively unreality that challenges our perceptions We can penetrate the unknown and challenge what we think we see Scheibitz offers us the most intimate and dense of studio views letting viewers tour the contents of his universe and production The archive includes everything that passes his eyes and consciousness We find an unavoidable association with Giorgio de Chirico who insisted on seeing the world as “an immense museum of strange things,” and whose metaphysical objects and places leave us stranded in a deserted plaza amid a field of ambiguous symbols—pyramids and enigmatic figures casting impossible shadows is a dizzying route from classicism to modernity Scheibitz activates his compositions with elements of surprise Scheibitz leads us to consider a frightening metaphor for surveillance or voyeurism and summons up the memory of Marcel Duchamp’s timeless and titillating 1966 assemblage Étant donnés which can only be viewed through two peepholes reveals a nude woman positioned on a hill with her legs spread The material ingredients for this work include everything from nails and bricks and clothespins to hair and glass and in this respect they lead us back—or ahead—to Scheibitz’s theater of the imagination and his unerring sense of composition which holds all the elements in check the studio is a stage upon which to reverse the gaze Barbara A.

Reporting by Shashwat Awasthi; Editing by Rashmi Aich The University of West Florida football team had a record-breaking performance on Saturday at Erskine College, posting 70 points in a game for the first time in program history. It was the largest margin of victory in the team's young history as well. The Argos' 70-0 win edged out UWF's 69-0 win against Virginia-Lynchburg in 2019. Coincidentally enough, second-year head coach Kaleb Nobles has been here for both of those games. Offensive lineman Nash Nelson and defensive lineman Aidan Swett were both playing for the Argos in 2019 as well; though Nelson redshirted that season UWF posted over 530 yards of offense on Saturday, pretty evenly split between 287 yards passing and 245 yards rushing, showing total dominance against the Flying Fleet. The defense, in yet another staunch performance, allowed just 17 yards of total offense after 21 tackles for a loss, including 10 sacks. The Argos currently lead all of Division II football with 98 tackles for a loss They've also allowed the third-fewest first downs (107) All of that leads into UWF's likely toughest game in a few weeks, hosting North Greenville on Saturday at PenAir Field for Senior Day A win against North Greenville keeps UWF's playoff hopes alive Here are some notes to keep an eye on heading into Saturday's Gulf South Conference matchup the Argos improved four spots in the latest American Football Coaches Association Division II Coaches Poll It also helped how much shakeup there was in the Top 25 with some teams near the top of the rankings suffering upset losses its highest ranking since the Week 3 poll on Sept As far as other Gulf South Conference teams Valdosta State remained in the top spot for the Top 25 after a 52-0 shutout against Chowan while West Alabama jumped three spots from No 12 after a narrow win over North Greenville the top three teams saw a slight change as well Valdosta State and Ferris State stayed at No which hadn't won a game yet this season before that contest The biggest improvement was tied between Central Oklahoma (No which both improved five spots in the rankings Argos still not within Top 25 of D2Football pollOnce again UWF finds itself outside of the Top 25 for the D2Football poll This now marks six consecutive weeks the Argos haven't made the Top 25 while West Alabama jumped up three spots to No dropped seven spots after falling to Central Missouri Ferris State took the top spot in this poll followed by Valdosta State and Kutztown to round out the top three The best improvement was tied between Indianapolis and California (Penn.) but on the outside of playoffsThe latest NCAA Regional Rankings provided some outlook as to what the playoffs might look like in a few weeks showed the first numerical rankings after the Oct with a 6-2 overall record and a 5-1 Super Region 2 record the Argos are on the outside looking in for the playoffs Wins over the next couple weeks are crucial for UWF with games against North Greenville and at Valdosta State Following an offensive onslaught and a defensive brick wall it's no surprise that UWF nearly swept the weekly Gulf South Conference awards this past week Quarterback Tony Bartalo, who was filling in for Marcus Stokes (currently dealing with a minor injury), had a career game on offense Stokes threw for 267 yards on just 15 passes throwing six touchdowns for the first time since Austin Reed did it in the 2019 Division II National Championship game Bartalo now leads the GSC in single-game touchdown passes this season Bartalo is the first Argo to win the Offensive Player of the Week award since Marcus Stokes on Oct Virgil Lemons, on the punt return, had another highlight reel game as well. It's the second time that he's won the Special Teams Player of the Week Award (he previously won it on Sept Lemons had seven punt returns for 198 yards including a 57-yarder that was returned for a touchdown his second punt return touchdown of the season West Alabama's Davonta Jackson, a defensive lineman, won Defensive Player of the Week after five tackles, including four unassisted tackles for a loss with a sack and an interception. The Tigers held North Greenville to just 59 yards rushing. It's his second time earning the Defensive Player of the Week award. Payne was also nominated for Defensive Player of the Week. Around the Gulf South Conference: Standings, upcoming scheduleIt's a race to the finish line to see who will be the 2024 Gulf South Conference champion. The canceled game between Valdosta State and West Alabama still comes into play for UWF. The Argos need to win out against North Greenville and Valdosta State to have a chance. The Argos need some help from the Hawks and Flying Fleet, while needing to focus on their own next two games as well to have a shot at the Division II playoffs. Here are the standings heading into the weekend: All eight conference teams are in action this weekend, however both West Alabama and Mississippi College are taking on non-conference opponents on Saturday.

It’s another chance for linebackers Nick Anderson and Nyles Morgan to add to their 106 and 103 defensive tackles When the ball gets into the hands of the Elks, Tre Ford will take control of the pocket The game serves as a final tryout to showcase he can handle the starting role heading into the off-season With a 5-4 record over the past nine games Ford’s hoping to see continued growth as the season comes to a close “We want to go win, I think that’s the big thing,” he told reporters “I know we’re not in a situation to go to the playoffs and chase the Grey Cup Not every team gets the opportunity to do that but we’re still professionals so when we step on the field he rushed for 140 yards on 10 carries in his team’s loss to the Stamps and now has 717 on the season it’ll make life tough for Ford through the air Elks head coach Jarious Jackson has been happy with the effort level and isn’t expecting a let down in the team’s final game given the way they’ve played of late “These guys fight for one another,” Jackson told reporters It could be at the other end of the spectrum and we could be pulling teeth to get guys to come out here and compete and get ready to go win a football game this doesn’t seem like a team that’s not going to the playoffs.” A road win to end the season would be a welcomed way to head into the playoffs for Toronto The Elks can reach seven wins for the first

the progress made with the implementation of this MOU The 2024 season ended in the best way possible for the Toronto Argonauts There was no time off to celebrate for the team’s football operations department and Grey Cup MVP Nick Arbuckle were re-signed while the club acquired Cameron Judge in a trade Argonauts.ca thought it was a good time for an update With a great number of questions now answered here’s a positional breakdown of the Argos roster featuring players under contract for 2025 The Argos currently have four quarterbacks under contract Chad Kelly’s name sits atop the depth chart but he’s recovering from a broken leg suffered in the Eastern Final in Montreal The club is optimistic that he’ll be ready for the opening of training camp Kelly was the league’s Most Outstanding Player in 2023 and after returning from a suspension last year Also back for another season are Grey Cup MVP Nick Arbuckle and Cameron Dukes who started the majority of games in Kelly’s absence It provides the Argos with tremendous talent The only other QB currently under contract is Tucker Horn someone the team had been tracking for some time Horn played at Trinity and was the Southern Athletic Association’s Offensive Player of the Year for three straight seasons This group is as good and as deep as any in the league Most fans were shocked when the team re-signed Ka’Deem Carey Not because they weren’t thrilled to see his return to the lineup but it appeared the club was set at that position Carey finished third in the league last season with 1,060 yards led all CFL running backs with seven touchdowns and his 30 carries of ten or more yards was second in the league who showed off his skills more and more as the season progressed The reason for the surprise over the Carey signing is that the Argos stunned many when they inked Kevin Brown to a contract in December The 28-year-old rushed for over 1,100 yards with Edmonton in 2023 and has averaged 6.0 yards-per-carry over his three seasons in the CFL who once scored five touchdowns in a game for the Buckeyes who was a Walter Payton Award finalist while playing at Butler in 2023 Bruno Labelle also signed with the Argos after starting his CFL career in Saskatchewan 250-pound University of Cincinnati product will likely fill the role of a fullback/tight end The re-signing of Coxie and Grant allowed Argo fans to breathe a sigh of relief They ensure quality veteran presence at the spot Grey Cup Most Outstanding Canadian Dejon Brissett Newcomer Hergy Mayala adds five years of CFL experience signing a deal with the Argos on the first day of free agency Two other returning players are ready to take the next step in their careers Kevin Mital showed flashes of why he was the Argos first-round draft pick in 2024 while speedy Jake Herslow scored two touchdowns in the three games in which he played last year including one against Ottawa in the Eastern Semi-Final who spent the end of the 2024 season on the team’s practice roster three-time Honourable Mention All-Big 10 Dontay Demus Auburn products Shane Hooks and Marquis McClain who played in the Indoor Football League last year before signing with the Argos in November Quarterback-turned-all-conference receiver Calvin Turner Jr and former Miami Hurricane Mark Pope rounds out the list who was named the league’s Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman last year He started the season at left guard before finishing the year at left tackle Peter Nicastro played centre last year after playing guard the year before but where he plays is up in the air as 2023 All-CFL centre Darius Ciraco is expected to be back after missing almost all last season with an injury and 2021 second-round draft pick Sage Doxtater who joined the team’s practice roster last year after playing in the States after college Centre Daniel Shin is a 2024 draft pick who is also under contract He returned to the University of Alberta where he was named a Canada West All-Star for the third straight season American tackles Jean Delance and George Moore are also in the mix Moore played for the Argos in the final game of 2024 while Delance is new to the CFL after stops in the NFL and USFL This is the group that will have an almost completely different look in 2025 Three players who saw ample playing time last year will return tackle Jordan Williams and ends Derek Parish and Thiadric Hansen will also look to increase his number of snaps at end The early days of free agency landed the Argos some potential difference makers The biggest names both come from Saskatchewan is an expolosive end who finished 2024 with six sacks Anthony Lanier II is a massive human being who is exceptionally quick though he could play outside when the team goes lines up with three linemen Demarcus Christmas is an interior player who joins the team from Edmonton while Celestin Haba is an end who comes over from Winnipeg Both players were added through free agency There are several new players looking for an opportunity at tackle 270-pound player from Indiana who was acquired in the Dan Adeboboye trade with Ottawa Deshawn McCarthy is a D-II All-American who had 31 sacks in his career at East Stroudsburg Daymond Williams is a 285-pounder who had 11 sacks and 21 tackles for loss in his last two seasons at the University of Buffalo and Atlias Bell returns after spending the first half of last season on the Argos practice roster New players on the outside include Isaiah Chambers who signed with the Argos last October after a couple of years in the USFL While at McNeese State the defensive end was a two time finailst for the Buck Buchanan Award as the best defenisve player in the FCS Jalen Green is an end who had 15.5 sacks and 21.5 tackles for loss in his final season at James Madison He spent the last couple of months of the season on the Argos practice roster Da’marcus Johnson is an end who was an exceptional pass rusher at Eastern Washington was acquired in a recent trade with Ottawa The end had a stint with Kansas City last year Greg Reaves is an end who spent the last three seasons in the USFL is back after spending much of last season on the Argos practice roster while 2024 draft pick Ifenna Onyeka will again look to crack the roster He returned to Carleton last year and led the country in sacks and tackles for loss The presumed starters in the middle and on the weak side will be Wynton McManis and Cameron Judge providing the Argos with arguably the CFL’s best linebacking duo are talented veterans who will see time when the club replaces a lineman with an extra linebacker in certain situations Special teams leader Brian Harelimana returns who spent all of last season on the injured list and will be looking to stay healthy this season Canadian newcomers include Laurier’s Ife Onyemenam the Canadian Junior Football League’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2023 and 2024 Incoming

played at the University of Rhode Island Including the strongside linebacker as a DB the Argos return four players who started games for them in 2024 The talented Tarvarus McFadden and Benjie Franklin

back after joining the team from the Ticats late last year The Canadian content in the secondary includes impressive rookie Tyshon Blackburn who is also capable of playing multiple positions a Toronto

their boundary halfback while Will Sunderland comes over from Hamilton where he had played both boundary and field corner aside from those signed recently in free agency who started for Winnipeg in

Saints last year after being a First Team All-Ohio Valley Conference season with Southeast Missouri State Last season Bryce Hampton tied for the Indoor Football League lead with 8 interceptions and was named a First Team All-Star and the league’s top defensive rookie and cornerback Anthony Sao inked a deal with the Argos late last year after spending some time with the Atlanta Falcons Any position a player played previously doesn’t mean that’s where they’ll be slotted with the Argos Training camp will go a long way in determining who plays where CFL Most Outstanding Special Team Player Grant re-signed just before the free agency period started who tied an Argo record with 55 field goals last year Long snapper Adam Guillemette is back for a third season who filled in for an injured Guillemette in Winnipeg last year Two players who spent last season on the Argos practice roster punter Jeremy Edwards and placekicker Alfredo Gachuz are also back That’s where the club stands a

season with the Hokies after playing his freshman year at Baylor throwing for 10 touchdowns against 6 interceptions he also rushed for 6 touchdowns in a season where he battled injuries late in the

touchdowns all this despite not being inserted as the starter until the third game of the season he’s a bit undersized by NFL standards but will still get a look at that level when his college career

training camps opens winning the Cliff Harris Award as the best Small College Defensive Player of the Year He was with the Chicago Bears for four seasons then spent the last two years with the DC

face USC in a bowl game on December 27  Reed’s biggest problem at A&M is the team also has strong-armed Conner Weigman at quarterback and the RS freshman has looked outstanding since being given the opportunity Speaks has made NFL stops with the Raiders along with the USFL/UFL’s Michigan Panthers He led the UFL in sacks and tackles for loss and was named the league’s Defensive Player of the Year

solid blocker who never fumbled the ball in his four years in Columbus HAMILTON – Heading into Tim Hortons Field with a record of 6-0 in his career in the Labour Day Classic, Bo Levi Mitchell notched win No 7 over the Toronto Argonauts as he led the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to a 31-28 win Mitchell threw for 347 yards and two touchdowns, both of which being grabbed by Tim White who tallied 180 yards on the day, while Greg Bell led the ground game with 78 yards on nine carries Chad Kelly threw for 322 yards a touchdown and an interception and DaVaris Daniels tallied one touchdown and 74 yards through the air for the Argos with Ka’Deem Carey tallying 78 yards on 12 carries rushing Just over a minute and a half into the game, Mitchell connected with White for a 57-yard score, capitalizing on a momentum shift as Richard Leonard grabbed an interception to give the Ticats the ball back Forcing a punt from the Argos defensively, Hamilton’s next drive saw Mitchell use his legs for a 14-yard first down as well as extending the drive with throws to Steven Dunbar Jr. and Greg Bell for a first down each The Ticats tallied another touchdown as former University of Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa rushed into the end zone himself for three yards Despite a solid run game plan, the Argonauts would settle for a field goal for their first points of the game, with Lirim Hajrullahu putting a 47-yard attempt through the uprights taking just one play to find White for his second of the day a 70-yard touchdown reception that put the Ticats up by 18 points in the first quarter Needing to put points on the board, Hajrullahu would successfully put a 23-yard kick through for the Argos, but Marc Liegghio responded with a 38-yard kick of his own on Hamilton’s next drive to keep the lead extended A 36-yard kick from Hajrullahu, his third of the game, would be Toronto’s only points on the board until the Argos tallied their first touchdown of game thanks to DaVaris Daniels grabbing a 10-yard reception but the two-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful for Toronto Liegghio’s 19-yard chip shot for Hamilton would close out the first half with the momentum on Hamilton’s side, but the Argos moved downfield quickly with 28 yards from Deonta McMahon followed by a 15-yard grab by Daniels before Kelly rushed 13 yards into the end zone Toronto’s defence held the Ticats scoreless in the quarter and forced two punts and a 25-yard Hajrullahu field goal to start the fourth quarter suddenly turned a nearly 20-point deficit for Toronto into a two-point game with the ball back in Toronto’s hands after sacking Mitchell on Hamilton’s first drive of the quarter as his 42-yard kick marked 13 unanswered points for the Argos who had their first lead of the game with just over 10 minutes to play the Ticats needed a massive kick from Liegghio who nailed a 55-yard attempt to give Hamilton a three-point lead with 2:36 left on the clock Hamilton’s defence forced a two-and-out after a sack and forcing an incompletion enough to give the offence a chance to move downfield to run out the clock and hang on for the win that kept Mitchell’s Labour Day record undefeated The Ticats will be on bye during Week 14 action while the Argonauts will head on the road again as they travel to TD Place Stadium to face off against the Ottawa REDBLACKS at 1:00 p.m TORONTO — The Eastern Semi-Final matchup in November 2 will be played at BMO Field The Toronto Argonauts secured a home playoff game by beating the Ottawa REDBLACKS 38-31 on Saturday in front of its home crowd Toronto

scored on the ground and defensive back Tarvarus McFadden added an interception in the fourth quarter scoring a pair of touchdowns and recovering two onside kicks but there was not enough time to

Do the Argonauts provide a safe workplace for female employees Will this make CFL teams less likely to hire female employees for coaching It may take years to reveal all the ramifications of Kelly’s actions and the Argos’ reactions a Hall of Fame running back who also coached the Argos before becoming their general manager was asked how the franchise would make sure Kelly’s behaviour would never be repeated by anyone within the organization “You can’t keep individual situations from happening “What we will try to do is continue to educate our guys our fans talk about how nice our guys are and the kind of people they are “What we want to do is just continue to try to get better in every aspect of things.” Clemons insisted he knew nothing about Kelly’s actions until the coach filed a lawsuit requesting about $200,000 in damages lost his Argos job temporarily after yelling homophobic slurs and fighting with Hamilton Tiger-Cats fans following a 2021 playoff game When asked about Murphy’s failure to react properly The incidents evidently occurred during the 2023 season “This topic is not a topic for this week,” said Clemons These are the kinds of places we try to not run down anyone If you wanna have a sit-down about that later “I don’t think that’s fair to have that sort of discussion,” said Clemons. “These are private conversations, right? “We are not supposed to be broadcasting this to the world. We are working hard to make this better.” Of course Clemons would rather discuss the fact the Argonauts have won their last seven Grey Cup appearances or their 18-6 record in championship games, giving them more titles than any other CFL franchise. Without Kelly around it’s easier to quickly visit that subject, but there’s still an overriding issue lurking in the background. transmission or republication strictly prohibited This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

The Argonauts needed all three phases to come through for the victory in quarterback Chad Kelly’s highly anticipated return to play.  It was looking like the Argonauts were going to come out on the losing end, but a crucial error by Roughriders head coach Corey Mace set the stage for Lirim Hajrullahu's walk-off rouge, which allowed Toronto to steal a 20-19 win over the Roughriders in front of a season-best 19,327 at BMO Field on Thursday night. The Argos improved to 6-4, while the West-leading Roughriders are 5-5-1 as their winless streak reached five games. Taking the field for the first time since his return from a suspension that had him miss two pre-season games and nine regular-season games for violating the league's gender-based violence policy, Kelly was greeted by a small amount of cheers from the crowd. “It’s always good to play in front of the home crowd,” Kelly said about the reception he received. “I was obviously excited to be here and first game back. I had a lot of nervousness in me, but we came out on top.” There were certainly moments when the league's reigning most outstanding player showed rust in his game, which was to be expected for a quarterback who was playing for the first time since last November in the East Final. Kelly finished the game with 322 passing yards with no touchdowns and one interception. “I thought I was good up until that last interception,” Kelly said about his performance. “For only two days of practice, I thought we had decent chemistry, but in the end, a win’s a win. That’s what it’s all about.” Perhaps the best example of rust was his chance to throw for a wide-open touchdown on a flea-flicker attempt. The clever play design would go to waste after a bad throw from Kelly forced Argos receiver Makai Polk to slow down just enough for the Roughriders' defenders to catch up and force the incompletion. It was clear from the start that the Roughriders' game plan was to limit the Argos' ability to run the football, forcing Kelly to throw the ball in more second-and-long situations. Kelly and the Argos struggled to find their rhythm early on in the game. Five straight drives ended in a punt, and Saskatchewan built up a 13-0 lead. It would be up to Toronto’s defence to try to keep the score close or provide a spark with a turnover to give the offence a chance to put points on the board. Argonauts defensive back DeShaun Amos took advantage of a mistake by Harris to secure his fourth interception of the season. This led to a quarterback sneak by backup Cameron Dukes, finally getting the Argonauts' offence in the end zone, cutting the deficit to 13-7. Kelly eventually found some comfort in the passing game late in the second quarter, finding Polk for a 29-yard reception along the sidelines. Saskatchewan’s defence would hold up on the goal line as Dukes was stuffed on third down after a Ka’Deem Carey rushing touchdown was taken back by a review from the command centre. There was no shortage of excitement in the final minute of the first half as Harris threw another errant pass that would get picked off by defensive back Benji Franklin, putting Toronto in a position to take the lead. The command centre would once again get involved after it appeared receiver Damonte Coxie made a tough catch for a touchdown in the end zone, but it was ruled incomplete as Coxie did not secure the ball as he hit the turf. It was the second touchdown the officials in the league office called back. "I don’t know why we have a command centre, I really don’t," Argonauts head coach Ryan Dinwiddie said about the calls that were reversed. "What is it doing slowing down games I just don’t get it. I’ll leave it at that." For most of the game, the Roughriders kept star returner Janarion Grant at bay. However, with the Argos trailing 16-13 early in the fourth quarter, Grant took a punt 48 yards into Saskatchewan territory with a facemask penalty, adding another 15 yards to the end of the play. Kelly then found receiver DaVaris Daniels for a 26-yard completion to the goal line. However, after two failed attempts to sneak the ball into the end zone, Toronto turned the ball over on downs for the third time in the game. "Offensively, we got to get better," Dinwiddie said about his team’s inability to get the ball into the endzone on the goal line. “I have to sit down with those guys and find ways to get better. We just couldn’t get there and you have to execute at a high level to get there. We have to find a way to win the football game more cleanly.” Fortunately for Kelly and the offence, the defence was able to force a punt by the Roughriders out of the end zone, which set them up past midfield with 8:31 to go in the game. Toronto put up a field to cut the lead to three, which Saskatchewan would respond with three points of its own to restore their lead. Trailing 19-16 in the final two minutes of the game, Kelly and the Argos drove down the field to set up a 50-yard field goal by Lirim Hajrullahu. On the ensuing drive, Mace called a timeout just before the ball was snapped on a play in which his team got a crucial first down. The Argos would force a three-and-out and another punt by Saskatchewan out of its end zone. This would eventually set up the game-winning rouge by Hajrullahu, who missed the 40-yard field goal, but it went wide left and out of the end zone for the deciding point. With punter John Haggerty suffering an injury in warmups, Hajrullahu had to handle all the kicking duties for Toronto. "I watched the other team, and they didn’t have a clue that we won," Dinwiddie said about winning on a rouge. "This has been around the league forever, just don’t hit the upright. We’ve been through the scenario, and we always feel like the best thing is to go for a field goal because every time we try to punt it, it hasn’t worked out for us." There were some questions as to how effective Kelly could be with just two full days of practice under his belt, considering how Nathan Rourke’s first start with the B.C. Lions went the week before. Rourke completed just 8-of-25 passes for 126 yards and threw two interceptions. "I thought Chad was seeing the field well, doing the things he needed to do,” Dinwiddie said of Kelly's performance. “Scrambing and giving guys like Coxie a chance to make a play. We were going to push the ball down the field and give guys a chance to make a play.” Next up for Toronto is the Labour Day Classic on the road against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, which always proves to be a challenging environment to play in as the home crowd will surely do its best to try and throw Kelly off his game.  The Argos quarterback knows the focus heading into Hamilton will be on cleaning up areas of the game that could have cost Toronto a victory.  "We got to put in a lot of work. It’s all about the details,” Kelly said. “We’ve got a lot of penalties to clean up. There was like five touchdowns out there that were on the one-yard line, we’ve got to get it in. We’ve got to be more aggressive. I’m sure it’ll change."  CFL, Argonauts can only cross fingers when it comes to Chad KellyArgonauts QB Chad Kelly apologizes, wants ‘to get it right’ in return from suspensionCOMMENTS TORONTO – The Toronto Argonauts have won the 111th Grey Cup with a 41-24 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Sunday at B.C This marks the 19th Grey Cup win in franchise history The 151-year-old football organization has won two out of the last three Grey Cups (2022) an organization that has been to five straight Grey Cups QB Nick Arbuckle was named the game’s Most Outstanding Player while WR Dejon Brissett was crowned the Grey Cup’s Most Outstanding Canadian A season filled with ups and downs culminated in a 10-8 regular-season record and a second-place East Division finish The Double Blue played in a semi-final game for the first time since 2015 prevailing over the visiting Ottawa REDBLACKS setting up an Eastern Final rematch with the Montreal Alouettes for the second consecutive season it was the Alouettes who spoiled the party beating the Argos on their way to winning the 110th Grey Cup 2024 would prove to be Toronto’s year as the Argos marched into Montreal beating the defending champions to set up a rematch of the 109th championship game This Grey Cup victory moves the team’s record in the big game to 19-6 the best mark of all-time (Edmonton is second with .609) More details will follow on upcoming Grey Cup activities when the team lands in Toronto EDMONTON – The Edmonton Elks had to take on the playoff-bound Toronto Argonauts for their last game of the season and the Elks took one final victory with a walk-off rouge in a 31-30 win in overtime at Commonwealth Stadium on Friday night Nick Arbuckle threw for 378 yards, two touchdowns and an interception for Toronto in the loss while Makai Polk led all receivers with 122 yards on six receptions Despite Geno Lewis notching a 1,000 yard season early in the game, it was the road team who got on the board first as Lirim Hajrullahu‘s field goal attempt from 24 yards out with just over a minute to play in the first quarter was good But on the next drive, the Elks would take the lead as the first quarter clock expired.
