Ryan Dinwiddie, Chris Jones, Corey Mace, Marc Trestman, Rick Campbell and Cory Chamblin all won Grey Cups as Head Coaches in the past 20 years and none of them had amazing pro careers. Some didn't even have pro careers.

Flat out, does anybody here seriously think that WJ is going to take a cut from $200,000 to say $120,000-$140,000? Secondly does anybody see the club actually limiting him to 50% of the snaps if here?

So about our oline, what if we went American at C? Ratiowise we could go RB, 2WR, 2 OL, Linebacker, DL and Kramdi (S or linebacker).

Great points.

I think its time to move on from Jefferson. He's going to be 35, he's had declining production the past two seasons, he takes plays off and he costs too much money. Too be honest, he seems to get a pass from many here, while other players don't.

Its TSN. They gave Luke Wilson a show and kept Kate. They are clearly going for a Maple ESPN vibe.

Counter point 2019 was 7 years ago. Perhaps its time for a larger overhaul. Then again what do I know?

Imagine Brady's numbers if Strevy didn't vulture all those tds from the 1. Then again, it likely kept him from making $400,000. 🤣

Well today is actually the 12th day of Christmas.

Moving on from Kola is another good move by Walters.

I'll assume that Montreal or somebody else gives Dequoy around $200,000. So is Kramdi at $180,000 and the 4th highest paid Canadian DB as bad?

Send your resume to Wade Miller then. I'm sure he'd love to hire you.

For all the complaints about Walters (and for the record I don't love how much he paid some guys), he's managed to sign 4 likely starting Canadians (Demski, Kramdi, Lawson, Oliveria), at worst a depth Olineman (Eli) and an excellent half back (Nichols). That's pretty good for January 4th. Look to our West where O'Day has yet to sign his starting rb (Ouellette), most of his receivers Johnson, Meyers, Robustelli, Nield, KSB, most of his offensive line, most of his defensive line, his back up QB (Maier), a stud Canadian linebacker (AJ Allen) and two key pieces of his sceondary (Campbell and Reavis). I'm just saying some perspective is needed.

Why the doubts about his staying power?

As always, hopefully our scouting is good AND we play some young guys. For example, I like the upside and Potential of Woodby, J.Smith, Shay and the two DEs who played the last game.

I could see Holm at least getting through a training camp and likely a season on a practice roster.

Happy New Year to all of you. May 2026 bring a Blue Bombers Grey Cup victory and a dismal season for the Saskatchewan RoughRiders.

Some garbage roster selections.

Maybe just maybe Kyle Walters doesn't bring Kola back taking the decision out of MOS's hands.

Which CFL team has an heir apparent in place for their starting QB right now?

Walters has brought back two elite Canadian starters for the offense in Brady and Demski, two potential starting Canadians on D in Lawson and Kramdi and an all star HB in Nichols. So far, I think his off-season work should be applauded not **** on.

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.

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.

That makes sense that Emelius is the highest paid, more production than Philpott, similar production to Demski but younger. What I think reading that is we got a deal with Demski.

Kola, Logan and Gauthier are good choices. Corcoran is likely going into year 2 of a rookie deal so they keep him, although I hope he's a 2026 camp cut.
