They take them because it's "Pay Me or Cut Me" and gives them time to find another team before FA. Forces the teams hand. 

Now, does Woogie have anything left in the tank?

I don't think that's a good push for a guy like Woli. 

 I love that guy, he's about to turn 31, but he's played an extremely physical role for 8 seasons now, and hasn't been able to stay healthy since 23. 

I'd keep in touch with Woli, if things aren't panning out well after the draft, bring him in for a look at camp. Otherwise, he'd be on top of the early-season/pre-season injury replacements call-backs list.  I'd rather have a guy like Cobb. I'd take Woli over a guy like Corcoran in season. But going into camp youre probably better off getting a better look at a young guy like that.

It's nice that we learn about the SMS being finalized well after the season. You guys can mock me all u want but I was going off what KW said directly about it at the time. It's unfortunate that it seems he had all season to spend an extra 400k but decided not to do so. So, sorry for thinking our GM was a little smarter than that and trusting him at his word.

Great Tedtalk in how not to aplogize. 🙂

[Mike]

I want KeeSean, Mack and Rambo in that order 

[GCn20]

Mack is a big game performer, and Keeshaun would be a great pair of signings

Why would I apologize? To S27 who has been acting like a 12 year old all offseason? To Mike who only shows up here a couple times a month, not to discuss football, but to do drive bys on members who actually contribute to the football conversation? No thanks.

I admitted I was wrong, but im not going to apologize because KW fed us misinformation. I trusted his explanation for not spending the extra SMS in FA last year. That was a mistake. I should have known better considering it appears he decided not to fo his job last year.

Life as a parent, man. I’m busy. Thank you for acknowledging your error.

Dolegala would have been an improvement in the QB Room last year if we kept him. Long term, probably not but we may have won a couple more games had he played.

Life as a senior, man. Thinking I'm still ten when I'm 70. Life is a toboggan slide when acting like a child. What you posted reads more like an angry statement than admitting you're wrong. Lol. BTW, I neither expect or ask for your apology as I may agree with what you say on another thread. Nor do I hold a grudge towards you. That's the nature of this place. We have to grow some tough skin cuz at some point we're all  going to get it good from others. Give & take your lumps, I say. It's always been that way. So now, moving on...

Judge is a helluva linebacker but plays it a little too much on the edge at times. His father played Teal'C on Stargate:SG1.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats release Drew Wolitarsky ahead of offseason bonus - 3DownNation

2x getting boned...them and us

Id take him on as depth and leadership

We need a burner...or big physical guy with athleticism who can dominate db's

No need for Robistelli..Neild..we have that kinda guy already and are easy to find

Key word...had...for 2026 we should be doing better...

Agreed. I like both of them. Nothing special but two solid experienced possession receivers that could help us. Pressure is on Walters to quit being the bridesmaid & start being the bride. To sign one of Austin Mack or Tim White. 

[rebusrankin]

Neild would be a nice NI receiving option imo.

 

[Goalie]

I wonder if you go 3 cdn receivers starting with Wilson and ideally Johnson as your Americans.  Gives you some nice roster options and flexibility there. 
 

3 receivers. Brady. 2 oline means only 1 starting cdn on D required and none if you go 3 Canadian oline really.

To the experts here, Darius Ciraco how good / bad is  he as a Center? Is he better than Chris K or Eli ?

Are you willing to go Demski/Clercuis/Cobb with Corcoran backing up because that's who we have now?

I can’t see us going this way at all

We have Lawson and Kramdi on defense and even if you’re not a believer in Kramdi, we’ve invested draft capital into Shay/Smith who should see a greater opportunity this season. There’s no way we don’t play 2 Canadians on D, in my opinion.

2 minimum, 3 quite likely

If we have 3 cdn oline...2 receivers...and BO....why play more than 1 on defence if they not the best option...Thats just falling into more of the same ol same ol as previous yrs and makes us weaker just to appease Osh and his Canadiana bias

SADLY....and that why I have zero faith in OSH actually seeing the errors of his ways...and changing like he suggests

Thank christ Walter's has eliminated some of his fav's or 2026 would have been a literal shitshow again
