No but they were with the team last year and became actual free agents rather than potential free agents. There are not very many players that finished the season that were on the PR for most of the year.

Usually we see more retention going into TC.

At the end of last season Walters talked about how retooling in the cfl is easier because of the number of 1 year contracts. I hope he isn't just talking about switching out the bottom half of the roster once again. with other midlevel guys. They need to add at least two impact players. All the guys that are free agents right now with the exception of perhaps Bryant fit this description. (as do the guys weve let go already)

I feel Jefferson can be effective, but the team has to realize that he cant do it on his own, they have to make some serious upgrades to the the dline as a whole, especially at the dt position. Lawson is good but he also needs a strong partner inside, or even to rotate in.
Ly Thomas wasn't good enough, and they didn't seem to have much confidence in Woods so it will be interesting to see what happens

It's waaaaaayy too early to say we're going to be good, bad or otherwise and those posting otherwise clearly have nothing to base it on, just change your settings to ignore his posts as they are nothing of substance to this forum, never have, never will

Gotcha. I thought you were referring to free agents.

Weitz and Adams finished the season on the practice roster so they weren't free agents.

Neither were Echols and Logan as they were under contract for 2026.

....and yet Logan was released early and shortly after signs with the Argos.

I wasn't suggesting they were all important or starters but they were depth which can't be overlooked either. The 3 you mentioned were starters though and Weitz and Adams were 2 year players on the roster.

PARKER, Jamal
KOLANKOWSKI, Chris
WEITZ
ADAMS
ECHOLS
THOMAS, Jake
LOGAN

Who are you 7?

The only official releases/retirements I am aware of are Kolankowski, Thomas and Parker.

Ah, now there is at least something to debate. We have 3 Canadian and 2 import LB's that I think makes K. Wilson a casualty. OTOH he has the most experience and if we lose some others that may be needed.

I wouldn't like to see 2 new CB's particularly if we've shuffling a new deck on the DL. So Houston is needed unless Bonds is healthy for TC and they choose him. Noting he hasn't been re-signed either.

Vaughters, same issue if we don't sign Woods ( I don't think we do ) then potentially 2 of 4 on the front 4 are new. Yes we had a couple of rookies that played the last game, but I don't want to bank on that per se.

We don't yet know which free agents we'll add. Rookies may sit on the PR all year. IDK. We could sign the rookie of the year.

You know my preference for vets and how I favor Wilson but you make a good point as our LB depth is strong. We might pass.  Saves a buck.

Nothing is certain in life.  I simply believe our D will be good based on the players we have, our top coaching staff and FA's we will add.

Parker isn't a big loss.  Thomas fairly early to replace and upgrade, his locker room impact and ability to mentor remains as he is a coach.  We will likely sign  2 out of the 4 you mention.  Wilson and Houston tops on my list.  Vaughters I would try to get but at the right price.  Woods I like but not a massive loss. 

This is the type of interact I prefer, we are talking ball.
