It's almost never too late in CFL. Look at the Stamps, this year compared to last year.

off season sure you can rebuild in one year, if you can add a top tier qb. mid season? where do you find talent mid season in this era?

Walters should have some money tucked away. Offer him a multi year deal that takes care of him financially and let’s get it done!

If he wants to come back to the CFL Walters should be doing anything and everything to get it done

Well we have his rights don't we? Like it he comes back, he HAS to come to Winnipeg I think...?

But either way, I can't see him going anywhere else. We absolutely will have money stashed and he'll see value in coming to a system he thrived in (in so much as Zach and other pieces... Not necessarily Hogan...)

Yeah we have his rights for the rest of this season. I‘m just saying if he’s on the fence, the club should be rolling out the red carpet right now.

But how motivated would Wilson be to come back to the Peg with his rookie contract vs waiting to see what happens down South?

I'd redo his contract and give him a signing bonus to hopefully get him up here ASAP.

c'mon man.

in 2019 at this point in the season we were still starting that maple maga guy at safety.  weird **** happens in the CFL playoffs.

We have more holes than swiss cheeses. It won't be solved this season by plugging holes with a  bunch of rags. Our problems really started this season not signing vany impact free agents.

How is it too late? It’s not even Labour Day yet for Christsake. They are in position for a playoff spot. 

The summers hottest teams aren’t always the ones doing well in the playoffs. 

I'm talking about replacing defensive backs & receivers mid season. Occasionally, players like Demerio Houston or Ontaria Wilson come available. The NFL hangs on to more players than ever before with expanded practice rosters as well as the UFL now recruiting for next season, By CFL free agency, the UFL have their rosters set. With all the player movement in February, CFL teams can go after free agents that are available that are under contract now.

Not breaking into the Jets wr core cant leave a lot of options...you'd think....its not exactly a stacked room over there. Hopefully he comes back ASAP!!

This is an alarmist statement... the only real area of concern to that extent is receiver and that could be corrected well enough depending on if, when, how effective schoen comes back and maybe Wilson.

Someone needs to tell him you can carve out a great career in this league with pretty good compensation.

Id add interior dline..we have 2 good pieces...but no depth behind them and we aren't rostering 2 guys who likely help in woods and Bailey 

Oline Canadian depth is pretty slim Pickens too

Our main issue really is coaching and how we use guys...and what appears to be an OC in way over his head and a guy not able to answer things in the moment

Funny part of this whole thing is we can kinda control our fate if we smarten up a bit and can get hot and run off a string of 5 or 6 wins in a row continuing this weekend
