Bombers will miss his fierce intensity and downfield blocking.....

Solid signing by the Argos. 

Just creates an opening for a new receiver.

A victim of "only so much money to go around".

Pinball will love Rasheed.  Maybe Rasheed will straighten Chad Kelly out!

I am a little surprised, I thought he would go to Ottawa.

Glad he's got a new team. Hopefully he got a nice bump in salary.

Really wish it was anywhere else.

I will miss Bailey running his sweeps and his down field blocking. Bailey had the same rushing avg. as ND10 last season.

His blocking will really help the Argos.

I wish we could have re-signed Bailey, but good to see he's signed elsewhere. Total team player who can really play. He will no doubt produce for the Argos.

Honestly, couldn't care less about them these days. They've been irrelevant for years. Toronto is the absolute worst, however.

Will be missed but I'd rather keep Shoen and Oliveira.

Couldn't we have kept him under the new American becomes a Canadian designate after so many years?  That would have really been a way to keep a really good football player, but not a game breaker.  He is a real football player! Good skills at many positions, just a tad too slow I guess.

Sheed was a victim of not enough $SMS or positions on the field.  With Lawler, Demski, Wolitarski already there, when Schoen signed, he took up the spot and $SMS that would have kept Sheed here.  If Schoen doesn't sign, Sheed is a Bomber today.  An unfortunate victim of the numbers game, and the business of football.

And no, there is no $SMS or roster benefit to him being a "fake Nat".  That only affects the game day roster depth chart, and we have more than enough real nats to cover that requirement.

Real nats like Woli?   ;D

Even if he's a fake real Nat, he still counts as a real Nat
