Meh he was good in Toronto, lost his job there, couldn’t crack a spot here, it’s not like there wasn’t an opportunity here to some degree because Younger likes using several linebackers in his schemes.  Woodbrey who started lower on the pecking order surpassed Jones over time and just had an outstanding game. 

Wynton mcmanis lol, and when he was healthy he stole half his reps. Their other lber was pickett, aka the two best lbers in the cfl in the last 5+ years. and Jjones took reps and starts from them. Woodbey isn’t being used like jones and didn’t pass him on the depth chart. woodbey is being used as a db. He could be used as a wil like that but isn’t. 

Does any one think that Tony jones or kyrie would steal reps/starts from mcmannis or pickett on any other team in the league?

If we keep Walters expect another useless off season of non signings & defections. Not much of a risk to trade for Mauldin. He'd have helped us for a playoff run. We could have had the guy for a fourth rounder. Now we lose Jones. Walters has to go. 

Mauldin was the next great thing in 2022, but couldn’t sustain it. Now he’s just a guy. I would’ve been fine taking a chance on him, but not ready to fire the gm over passing on him.

It's not just Mauldin. It's the last couple of seasons. Both Osh & Walters have no contract next season.

Pickett was gone  and in Ottawa the year Jones lost his job and Mcmannis has been in Toronto just as long as Jones was in Toronto so no that has nothing to do with anything. And yeah Tony Jones and Kyrie Wilson would absolutely be starters in this league on other rosters based on their play this year.

he didn’t lose his job during a season, he was injured. Pickett and mcmannis was there when he was playing in 2023. His contract ended and they didn’t bring him back. 

 That wasn’t the question though was it? So let’s put the goal post back, would kyrie or jones take reps from mcmannis or picket like Jones did, on any other team in the league? The answers no, they wouldn’t.
