No Morrissey for today's game vs. SUI. Maybe - hopefully - just a precaution.

I doubt they expect him to be the answer, they want clarification if he's going to be here for 2026; yes or no so they plan accordingly.

They seriously need to find Zach's replacement this season, or they end up re-signing him again because they have no other solutions and no QB's with CFL experience are available. In that Rasheed Bailey highlight video it's easy to see how much better Zach's mobility was a few short years ago, he looked way more fleet of foot and agile. Maybe that trend can be reversed with a drop in weight and more long distance running, I don't know, he should train with Trevor Harris.

Isn't Woodmansey the C in HAM that was snapping over the head of BLM all the time?  The Huddle show seemed to indicated so.  So that means he'll maybe be changed to OG?  Unless Cody wants balls thrown 30Y behind him?

Seems like a weird guy to make "highest paid".  EDM in desperation mode?  Plus, since Woodmansey was still on the shelf, wouldn't his ask have to come down a bit?  I guess the only guys left now are guys who are sticking to their "ask the world" guns, and guys who will have to take lowballs.  Well, and guys who will retire out.

According to 3DN Woodmansey was the best Natl. O-line available in FA, they acknowledged he wasn't near the best Natl. O-lineman, but numerous teams were interested in picking him up so Hervey had to pay the price.

Based on Walter's press conference, I guess we know we will likely be starting 3 Canadian receivers and an import at guard.

Our O-line problems have been fixed now.

Possibility, but I doubt it, they brought Stan back and part of that vet. retention plan says they won't displace Neuf until he agrees and if they make Wallace the 6th man, they've pissed on one of their most valuable assets in his contract year.  Imports are a dime a dozen compared to a huge Natl. OG as strong as an ox that is only 26, he's the closest thing to Walby they've seen in 20 years.

My takeaway was that nothing should be set in stone. 3 Canadian receivers can be an option if americans win spots along the OL, or a rookie receiver may come in and bump out Clercus/Corcoran.

Training camp battles. Find the best version of the team.

Sounds like Neild was a big piece, he will get an inside SB spot many hoped for, while Clercius and Corcoran compete or share the outside spot, did not mention Cobb.

He doubled down a couple of times saying, "we can't have our roster set before TC begins". He wants a true competition on multiple spots getting the best combination of guys possible.

Especially on offence, where there are options to change the ratio in the WR core or along the OL to get the best on the field.

Surprised how open the O-line is on the inside, in a battle against Imports I see Eli coming up short vs. Neuf or Wallace, might lose Randolph and Vanterpool in the process unless they accept backup status.  Doesn't sound like Walters is keen to use the 1 game IR as he did last year to stash healthy players.

I think they released Shea Patterson before TC opened last season and he's available again.  I was impressed with his work as a SY QB wtih Mtl. last season, he was decently effective but as a backup he's maybe the level of Dakota Prukop.

Yeah, that ugly fumble at the 1-yard line in the Grey Cup was really impressive.

Hard pass.

Walters said we may still bring in a QB with experience, but they are still waiting to see what choice Elgersma makes.

Walters seemed desperate for Elgersma to be the answer.
