Yeah..same...was a fear I had since Jan...will we see a surprise cut? Doubt it As i showed on a roster breakdown we can have all of Jones..Wilson..Ayers and Woodbey on roster with a DE to replace Vaughters as well as a rotational dlineman like Jenkins to go with Ceresna...now will we? With Smith and Shay chomping at bit and needing to play..and they can..does it not make sense to dump our oldest/least versatile..thay be Jones and let the Canadians take up the slack..Stuart on roster to grow and use that spot Jones takes up on a true Nose..or even another WR/DB who has return ability? I know thats what I would do...Sadly tho I see Osh again clinging to some aged out guys and sitting promising guys...or just flat out cutting them In all honesty our defence minus a Jones or a Wilson...wouldn't skip a beat..and likely be better Kinda sucks in practice too..what game showed is what practice kinda predicted...tries hard tho haha Yup...he can book his lease for housing...only guy who showed up..showed real potential and he is a returner Osh makes a comment on a guy sometimes and media just runs with it as gospel..as most aren't even paying attention...and at times..not to overly harp on Osh..but i have zero clue what he looking at sometimes

Tbh, the move to tsn wasn't very different. Now, not every game was televised back then. But a lot of people said the same about CBC, at that point too they were on sportsnet and tsn and cbc. as far as the TV deal goes, 0 fault for the league from me. They get to keep TSN money AND add this crazy amount from DAZN? For a league where half the teams are on the verge every single year, its too good to pass up. Im sure the next TSN deal won't be as big, but the combination at that point of both will be silly. Not to mention if the games do well on DAZN, imagine the future growth potential if they want more games or exclusive broadcast rights. The rule changes, are awful for the most part. A couple, like the time changes are good. I hope the league sees this and makes changes/moves back to OG rules quickly. On that note, with the DAZN deal, the league won't be wanting to have a strong negative reaction from fans or too much inconsistency on the field for the first year. I could see them pushing some of the changes back further to have a better debut. You never get to make a 2nd first impression.

He was the media darling, but imo, hasn't been anything special. Should be his last shot. Imo, Singer has all but made the team already. Could screw it up, but I doubt it. Davis has a shot to stick around with his versatility; Mayes and Womack have outside shots at making the PR. At that, I think 2 of those guys make the club at most. Unless multiple guys really light the world on fire tonight, even then its hard to see 3 of those guys sticking even with IR hiding / PR. At that, I think Singer is the only one who has a chance of giving a first-year Bailey, maybe a first-year Lawler level of production.

More Baywatch alumni are coming out to play. https://deadline.com/2026/05/baywatch-cast-michael-bergin-kelly-packard-1236930359/ Okay Wendie Malick is still working what's their excuse? https://deadline.com/2026/05/mary-mcdonnell-baywatch-cast-fox-1236929345/

Is Frederickson standing out in practice or this a last shot ala Myron Mitchell?

The sad thing is I think the league feels like rule changes will have a positive impact on their fanbase within Canada too.

Not giving TE or BP much help is an odd way for development. I expect the O to struggle week 1. I think I’d have given Zach and the starters a quarter at the least. Fredrickson must really stand out at practice tho cuz dude sucked during the game.

Im ready for the disappointment of us being married to Jones-kyrie starting at mac/wil and DIing Ayers.

How very Farhan of him. Personally, I would put TE on the PR at that point. I think he still has development sitting for a year and watching. Keep brown ready to go and have Bryce do the short yardage stuff. Pretty much. Some teams don't want to sit on a QB controversy, though. It is very distracting unless you have an incredible locker room to manage it. Imo, ott doesn't have that. I could very well be wrong about that. I don't think that Dinwiddie gives a crap, though. I think he's happy to sit on any QB talent he likes. But, I don't think he cares for Brown. Unless mccheese becomes some kind of revelation, I could see him trading for one of his 2 old QBs in toronto. They do need AR assets. Lauther is probably the last K in the league any one would want, and that OL needs work.

Lack of talent and charisma forces the guy into being a "jerk" to get any sort of attention. I read his post which was complete nonsense. I'd like to think the majority of CFL fans who watch on tv are part of the older demographics who do not engage in online trolling. Soooo the league is changing the rules and field because of International fans or because they are moving towards catering to an American fan......

There was a hint from Darren Cameron on the Handled Internally podcast yesterday that Wade is cooking something up for season ticket members. No details available but it was mentioned around the 9 minute mark of the podcast.

Might not happen right away but Ottawa may want to get something for him while they can. It's the last year of his contract and I'm testing FA if I'm Dru. He re-worked his contract so the team could be more aggressive in free agency and his thanks was a demotion to go along with the pay cut. Dinwiddie doesn't seem like his biggest fan so he's probably better off elsewhere.

Ya but why would Ottawa want to get rid of Dru? He doesn't have a monster contract. Between him and Mayor they're basically at Kellys pay aren't they? The chances of the Mayor getting hurt behind that OL are likely pretty high right now and they can't afford another losing season, due to injury or not.

The CFL could easily do this. This is exactly what the NFL does and holds it out as a separate product. In general the inevitability here is the CFL being pressured to be a spring league as a TV property. And that kind of kills the existing business. It’s the typical CFL story of chasing the sugar high unsustainably. Skalbania, McNall, US expansion….

The problem is you're making the CFL less accessible to fans by putting games on an obscure platform... it's a risk and sure they get a big payout now but what if that doesn't last? My opinion the biggest thing the cfl needs is a grass roots effort to get support in all cities. Until they do that the league will always be on the brink of disaster.

Sounds like something they may consider just to get some new people subscribing, much like TSN does with TSN+. You can watch all of TSN CFL games with some enhancements, minus the pregame stuff plus a couple of other sporting events for only $8.00 per month rather than the regular $29.95 to get all of TSN. For me it works perfectly because I'm not really interested in any of the other TSN programing.

Nothing against the UFL MVP, but how about a trip of Zach, Dru and Ermagherdsma, if we could afford it?? LFG.

In a water is wet type of revelation, Farhan posted that Dru has an interest in returning to the Bombers. Well no ****... He didn't want to leave in the first place but needed to for a chance to be a starter.

Smart move yes but O'Shea won't move away from Ayers to open another spot.

So if I’m reading this correctly people who already prob pay for Amazon or Netflix (I do that) are upset cfl games are on another service they don’t currently pay for? Cool story. You can’t want change and for the cfl to be successful long term when you old geezers ;) die out then complain when they do things. Thats crazy talk. Thats not in my backyard stadium talk. This is what is needed and who is to say this will fail, maybe the cfl plus numbers suggest more international fans are watching than people think. Also. Why is it hard to believe right now that we would maybe be trying the international route instead of the USA route right now? Is anyone paying attention to what’s going on there like at all? Canada as a whole is distancing ourselves from the USA. I’ll bet cfl plus numbers showed a large number of international fans were watching.

Nah, normally its conditional middle draft pick for a qb. And once a team demotes a guy, its tough to get any asset for them as the contracts are soo high they are heavily incentivized to cut those guys and teams can wait and pick them up, on a better deal, for free.

You know what i would love to see? And option to buy just cfl games ans then I could watch cfl and only cfl on whatever streaming service had that particular game.

Actually one of the interesting things I read yesterday is the subscription fee for CFL on DAZN hasn't been set yet. It's not a given that you have to purchase their whole package, containing NFL, Soccer, etc... it's a very real possibility that there will be a cheaper "CFL Only" option. So we shall see... If it was like 5-10 bucks/month for just the CFL, then I might... Just to support the league and see what their product looks like.

Thats being nice

Jenkins looked a lot more explosive than Dixon IMO. Dixon kind of plays like a heavier WJ. He's not firing off he's reading the play. Jenkins is in the backfield 1/4 pass plays before the OT even gets his hands up.
