Quote from: Blue In BC on Today at 01:28:26 AMNo 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.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)
Usually we see more retention going into TC.
Quote from: gobombersgo on Today at 12:08:03 AMGotcha. 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.

Quote from: Blue In BC on January 23, 2026, 11:59:33 PMI 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

The only official releases/retirements I am aware of are Kolankowski, Thomas and Parker.
Quote from: Blue In BC on January 23, 2026, 11:56:43 PMAh, 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.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.
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.
Quote from: Blueforlife on January 23, 2026, 11:48:56 PMNothing 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.
