Teams are using up what's left of the cap money from this season before January 1st. I'm hoping we still have some money left over for players we'd like back & not given to deadweight veterans who shouldn't be here. I'd like to see Sergio Castillo back for sure. But this is Kyle Walters our GM we're talking about. He's just as likely to sign him as to let him walk.

With that lineup, how can the Oilers be 13th???

Exactly why giving Walters a 3 year deal was a mistake. He didn't deserve to come back. Should have been fired. Yet, there he is packaged. gift wrapped & sealed for delivery to us, the fanbase for three more ******* years. What did he do to deserve 3? The Old Boyz Club in Winnipeg is going strong. Osh & Walters three more years. Thomas, well if they don't play him then give him a full time coaching job at a position where he failed to excel. Ever. Keep Hogan around as a running back coach when he failed as an OC. Most team that would also be a firing. Here?? Hogan gets a nice soft big chair to sit on at PAS & gthe drinks are on the house.

Stats are great, but tape is even better. Coverage ability, can they get off a run block, are they making plays in the backfield.

Agreed on all points. I like the changes MOS has made, and so far like the players we have re-upped with the obvious caveat of hating BO's salary. Like keeping him though. So far we extended a lot of our NAT talent and didn't let them walk which is a massive improvement over the past 3 years where KW let our NAT talent get decimated. Hopefully, he has learned. I really don't mind the coaching moves at all. I think Condell will help our passing game and help us in our recruitment at receiver. I think Jake being off the field is huge for us, and I honestly believe he can be a really good position coach.

true on both points about logan. However, an un proven here guy who wasn’t a top tier returner previously coming off a serious injury is a big risk. I’d only take him back as a flyer. No expectations, cheap deal, very little rope in camp. I don’t think wj would play for the level of pay he actually warrants with his play. I’d want other pass rushers signed before wj. Atleast one top level guy. Then wj battles for 3rd reps. That probably won’t happen but it’s what should happen. Vaughters was ok, but didn’t play him self into another deal at the same range as last year imo. If kola is cut loose i will very happily eat my hat and heaping piles of crow. That would seal the fact that the mafia has recognized the error of their ways and are doing what it takes to fix it. I am very encouraged by my moves so far. i’d put us at a B+. we could’ve done better at dl coach and oc, but we could also polish both those guys into being A+ additions to the staff. we gotta crack open the bank in free agency, and not blow it all extending guys who wouldn’t get any offer or even close to that money any place else.

He better not take the week off after that train wreck of a fa last year....IF he does it could be a harbinger of things to come and I don't think the Bomber faithful have the stomach for anymore of that bull$hit

In fairness to Logan he got what one game? Vaval looked like trash his first couple games too. Jefferson i would keep but with a shave in salary. Vaughters and Kola...yep...bye bye. I would be going after their replacements very hard in FA if I were KW. Sadly he will probably take that week off again. I have zero faith in Walters right now, and I hope I'm wrong.

Logan didn't look good at all last year. I think it would be ok to move on from him. Jefferson, Vaughters and Kola too.

The increase in 2025 was due to revenue increase over more than 1 season IIRC. I don't see a further increase in 2026 of that magnitude. I do think most teams ended up with some SMS left from 2025 that has been used to re-sign some top talent. That will make it interesting to see how they spend the increase for 2026 after signing some of top talent already.

Like all questions it depends on what their SMS hit would be if they reach free agency.

I don't think anyone besides the CFL office knows. Last year teams weren't even informed until the eve of FA and even then it was not settled. Therefore, I have very little faith the league has informed anyone of anything yet because why would the team's need to know this? lol

Going up over the previous $400K increase or just the teams now using that on re-signing of players?

Thanks Debbie, you should be a motivational speaker.

best of the season y'all. May 2026 be our return to glory!

Big contracts attract players but only the ones that make the big money which isn't that many. The rest are left playing for peanuts. For every 300k contract there are 4 guys who have make league minimum as opposed to 30 or 40k over minimum. That does not help us retain talent in our league. With our dollar being crap it's a tough sell to bring guys in as it is.

We'll allow it. 😄

Maybe all these contracts are good for the CFL that attract more talent needing to raise the salary cap that bring more bums to the seats that increase swag sales that attract more corporate support etc etc? I’m in a festive mood.

philpot is the least of the 3 id like to pay. I don’t trust his ability to stay healthy and productive over a full season. I don’t love paying any rb 300k. I do agree these deals are making me feel a bit better about brady’s deal.

Emilus does have 2 1000 yard + seasons and last year he had 588 in 7 games which is a 1500 yard pace. He's been very good the past 3 seasons. Great point that it makes the Brady deal seem better. Essentially that is what a top Canadian makes. You know who is overpaid as a Canadian, Robbie Smith at 235,000 and 0 sacks last year.

I guess this means the Riders cannot sign any more players in free agency since they paid one guy a big contract. As per the experts on this site.

I won't put the blame on any QB asked to perform behind last year's OL and throwing to last year's receiving corps. Does he have MOP seasons left. I doubt it...but he can still get it done with the right personell. Walters has his own poor performance to worry about. A lot of grousing we do about MOS is the direct result of the roster he was given. It goes hand in hand. Only someone who is delusional would think we had a roster capable of being a contender last year. Zero chance,

I can think of one. Who else you got besides WJ? Maybe KW but he's not making all that much. Neufeld? Our best OL last year by the numbers. Stan? You wanna get rid of the GOAT? Other than that where we going with this? I'm not getting rid of PEYTON L:ogan until we know what the situation with Vaval is. The rest of the guys with the exception of Kola will not factor much into our success or not no matter whether they make the club or not. Every team has ham and eggers on it. It's unavoidable. If we want better than the list above it will be up to Walters to quit sitting on his thumbs and getting better players here.
