Agree with a lot of your assessment of the BC roster.

To be fair Rigmaiden was only mad GM in Nov 2024 so a lot of the brutal contracts are millstones he inherited.  Obviously I’m not a Lions fan but just for the health and competitiveness of that franchise, I think we see Rigmaiden make his mark over the next offseason and beyond.

Rigmaiden has been with BC since the start of 2021 in various roles, he's as responsible for player personnel as much as anyone in the Lions organization.  Adding the GM role provides him the ability to choose his coaching staff.

Bad contracts are not the millstone around the neck as they are in the NHL, NFL, MLB and NBA. That excuse is good for only one year at most.

You’re right.  I’ve been watching too much Jets and NHL free agency stuff in between Bombers games.

Buck needs to concentrate on being a HC, first kick at the cat being the OC too is way to much on his plate

These head coaches just don't want to give up playcalling & will go down with their teams being completely overworked & overwhelmed. We see it all the time. They have no faith that anyone else can call the plays. Well, then stay an OC or DC otherwise delegate. That's what successful head coaches do. They ned to delegate & then let their assistants coach. Some like Hufnagel, Dinwiddie, Jones & Dickenson had success as HC's calling plays. Most fail epically.
