If Jake comes back it means O'Shea talks a good game but the reality of it is he hasn't changed. Things will be as they always have been.

Yeah...use 2025 for 2026 and be able to be a bigger spender in FA when you have some money for your higher priced Canadians and players paid with 2025 spare sheckles

There is money left over for the cap season that has to be used up by December 31st that can be used towards next season. I'm thinking that what Walters is doing since he never spent to the cap this past season. We just don't know what the cap situation is from last season (2025).

Well Walters is back on my Christmas card list.

Pretty close to North America as well. I can only imagine the travel if there was a team in Halifax. The Lions located ina city close to 3 million people have all kinds of travel itineraries to chose from. Halifax barely 400,000 doesn't. Terrible time zone to boot halfway to England from Western Canada. Go clean out the stalls for the Reindeer, especially Rudolph.

Yeah, both teams seem to believe their GMs have jobs for life.

me thinks seeing as it is likely more of our more pricey guys to re-up...bulk of being Canadians from the last yrs roster that a lot of it could be 2025 monies left over to off-set the 2026 Cap...which is smart moves by Walyer's and I think there will be a few vet's we feel essential re-upped early Jan once we have a more known amount to work with after they get the bigger priced one's done

This is one of the best starts to an offseason we have had, every signing has been a smart one, we as mentioned above have essentially signed 4 starting CDN's......my crystal ball says Nuefeld is next

Cap wise, I agree that this is the best position we’ve gone into the off season in in a long time. And you have the ability to fix your cap year to year. If you have the will to do it. We have a few awful deals, but the cap growth and off season turn over makes it workable. Wj, is one of the worst contracts in the league. Dl is one of our biggest positions of need. Idk if we will actually spend at dl though. Zachs lack of consistency and quality concerns me more than his pay. Yes 600k is a yikes. But it’s not like we have a comparable guy available for 400-500k. The only way up for us at qb, is going young. And that is a very risky and lengthy process. These guys we will see what they got. I have to imagine with the timing and cap space left that we have them front loaded deals that won’t hit the cap hard next year. Especially with the importance brady put on guaranteed money. With the current market demski probably goes from too expensive but very effective to a good deal. Even with a raise. We’ve had opportunities and money to spend. We just haven’t done much to invest in league free agent. That’s the big moment I think we are all waiting for. To really see if we’ve changed. Moving on from some one old is inevitable one way or another.

that and i mean all the guys are guys you’d want back at none crazy deals. If we move on from 2 long in the tooth old boys club types I’ll be satisfied. If we bring back a kola or jake and actually relegate them to the bench it’ll be a miracle.

James Butler says

Well that’s some thing…

You’re probably better to move away from Winnipeg and start cheering for another team. Mind you if you changed your mind and came back in 10 or so years, he’d still be GM and we’d still be looking for a 2nd line center 😕

Until of course the moment Thomas arrives on the scene.

So Brady, Demski, Kramdi and Lawson, 4 likely starting Canadians, a young, up and coming WR in Wilson and Nichols. Walters is doing a great job thus far.

Now somehow protect him in bubble wrap while he plays so he can play the full season and post please and thank you.

Got to say loving the guys the are coming back so far

Guess they haven't had "the talk" yet. Not necessarily - you can do community work and not live somewhere full-time. Kolankowski was nominated for the Jake Gaudaur award last year partly because of the work he does in Ontario (running football camps in Oshawa).

Meh. Just means they all live here year round.

When I saw Koala on one of the latest Handled Internally pods, I wondered if that was "telling"....

I saw this on Facebook, I guess we can keep Neufeld and Kolankowski on the team. Good guys!
