Yeah, there's a few veterans getting long in the tooth which means they're expensive & don't contribute like they used to who should go.

How many of these underperforming pets of O'Shea return will determine the fate of the 2026 Bombers, O'Shea and Walters.

Guys I'd not re-sign. Stephan Logan, Chase Artoepus, Cody Case, Shayne Gauthier, Gavin Cobb, Joey Corcoran & Chris "Koaaala" Kolankowski.

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.

That name cracks me up everytime. Kola in our dialect means something like 'just' or 'merely'

You can thank Noeller for that nickname. He can't spell Kolankowski. Lol.

I can think of one. Who else you got besides WJ? Maybe KW but he's not making all that much. Neufeld? Our best OL last year by the numbers. Stan? You wanna get rid of the GOAT? Other than that where we going with this?

I'm not getting rid of PEYTON L:ogan until we know what the situation with Vaval is. The rest of the guys with the exception of Kola will not factor much into our success or not no matter whether they make the club or not. Every team has ham and eggers on it. It's unavoidable. If we want better than the list above it will be up to Walters to quit sitting on his thumbs and getting better players here.
