[Schoen is a top-3 NAT REC]

The loyalty "problem" as it pertains to Fatboi has nothing to do with the loyalty "problem" with Schoen.  Schoen is a top-3 NAT REC if fully healthy, worth gobs of money -- who is always hurt.  Fatboi is a mediocre NAT DT who is never hurt.

Yes, both get helped by "loyalty", but it's in different ways.  If we're loyal to Schoen and give him another shot, it's because we hope he'll be 2023 Schoen again.  There's no hope Fatboi will ever be more than Fatboi (and that's ok).

? Typo
Schoen is an import.

Definitely an upgrade. But the OC was not the only thing ailing our offence.

Maybe he can convince some of his players to come over. Either Crum or Shiltz would be an upgrade for QB2. Both Addison and Hardy are getting a bit long in the tooth, but either would be an improvement over all our import receivers except maybe Wilson.

I don't think there's a downside here.

Oh for sure. I am th8nking the Collaros-Connell chemistry is going to lead to great things. He had a green Qb in Ottawa that threw waaay too many picks. You could tell last year Collaros wasn't happy with the play calling, that will change now

Colleros didn't have a great season in 2025 however I do think a lot of that had to do with the poor play of the offensive line. Oliveras numbers were down from previous years largely for the same reason.

Brady's numbers weren't down at all. He had less carries because he missed 4 games.

He had the same yards per carry as his previous couple of years and set a new career high in receptions and receiving yards.

Great news for me. Condell's been a good OC for years.

Kinda mixed on this one. It's good to get an experienced OC, BUT Ottawa's offense has stunk the last 2 seasons, was it personnel or play calling or both?? 

No doubt Collaros had some say into this and hopping they can regain their Hamilton era form

If Connell comes here, hope Crum follows him too and we get a real #2 Qb as well.

Bad news if you sell oversized sunglasses. Good news for everyone else.

Yah, I suspect Zach gets a say in who plays Center and he's a loud voice in that room. Picture Hogan in backwards ball cap and shades sweating profusely when Zach airs his grievances.

I'd rather picture Hogan filing his EI claim

As far as I know he would have been a free agent at the end of December. The team choose to not add him to the 1 game IR. Even if his contract was expiring adding him would have suggested they may have wanted to re-sign him. OTOH, pushing him to PR to immediately become a free agent after the last game indicated otherwise.

The same applied to Kornelson and Person both put on PR to end the season.

You can draw the distinction wherever you choose but either way it's moot. All 3 are gone and free to sign elsewhere.

True and the Bombers rarely second guess themselves and bring back players they leave on the PR at the end of each season.  Adams had 2 seasons to impress the staff and failed to do so, in Sask. he will be competing against veterans Rose and Micah Johnson,
