There actually usually isnt. Last year, we lost Dobson and Ford, who'd fit this category. One could argue Adrian Greene and Sean McEwen but that's about it.

I think Gittens and Demski would be a nice national receiving duo. Ayden Eberhardt may be poised for a breakout. Demski/Gittens/Wilson/Eberhardt and whomever as a 5th guy is potentially an upgrade over last year.

Which two premium nats are making it to free agency do you think?

He's an import but yeah he seems like a good under the radar guy.

Any thoughts on a guy like Kurleigh Kittens Jr. Pending FA, pretty good NI WR. Likely cheaper than Emilus or McInnis.

So the positive news is that we no longer have to suffer through Barker on TSN.

Counter point on Brady (I agree on the cost over replacement argument), he's a premium Canadian talent and we are really lacking in that area.

He took less last year and talked about taking less so they could afford others.

Having Graham helps but Garrett had 7 consecutive 10+sacks seasons before this one and has been 14 or more each of the last 4 years. He doesn't make the point you think you're making.

I'd wager Harris is at 500k not 600k. Seems to be a guy who is willing to take less to help the team unlike Zach.

So how much of a bump did Harris get from the $450,000 he got last year? Bet he's still cheaper than Zach.

PFF numbers are hot garbage. They take any random fan as analysts.

So $315,000 for Hatcher, Rourke is what $600,000 + and Betts makes big $ too. BC is going to run out of money.

Honestly, not a bad list. Thoughts? https://3downnation.com/2025/12/03/10-pending-free-agents-the-winnipeg-blue-bombers-should-bring-back/

I didn't expect Hatcher to make it to free agency. Good reup by BC. It would be nice for us to do something positive like that. For example, get a deal done with Demski.

I feel like if Eli was going to be a starter it would have happened by now.

If we don't have an OC by Christmas, I will be concerned.

I really like Brady but him at $250,000 to $275,000 versus paying Mills, Butler or Bell $150,000 to $160,000, I think I'd go for the later option.

Any predictions on who are first signing will be?

Alexander makes 400k next year. That really does help the Als pay for other talent.

I've got it, Jake Thomas for OC.

It was to be expected but a shame about Philpot. I do wonder about the Als and salary. Philpot with a huge extension. Pierre Oliver Lestage is now one of the highest paid guards. They seem to have no issue extending everybody.

Wait, @SpeedFlex27 is Frank Constanza?

Well I sent him a card saying Best Wishes in Retirement.

We're going to find out.
