At the rate we've already been blowing SMS, and given OL & DL are arguably much higher priorities/concerns, I don't see how we have any hope of hiring any legit/proven #2 not named Strev.

Where on earth are we getting a $100-$150k above '25 QB room cost to hire a Crum or Powell or Maier.  Maybe we could afford a Masoli.  That's about it.

Money issues could mean we are rolling with Wilson #2 and Greek #3.  Careful what you/we wish for regarding dropping Strev!

Then again, if we put $400k more into our OL and make some great week 1 starter DPs and scouting finds, there's a good chance we won't ever need a #2!

Because we probably had some SMS left from 2025.

There are a few NFL QBs, who seem to have been given the instruction check your primary, if not there,  your second option , and if not there take off and run.  Those guys can at least run. Then there are dozens every year, who can't read a defence and their options.

I thought Strev improved at trying to read. His record seemed to say he seemed to do it, plus being behind a crap O line.

And let's be honest. If he comes back, he would easily be our second guy to start. And the way Collaros played. and the way Strev finished.....

Strev did pretty good behind an O line that gave the QBs little time.

His NFL pension, seems to indicate, money is not an issue.
How is the knee progressing  for both Schoen and Strev? I would think both guys need more time for healing and their football careers are done as players.

Strev was amazing to be able to even play last yr.
Shoen playing career might be done. Knee injuries can go either way it seems. Some guys come back, some don't.

Great players! Strev is an interesting man. So much courage and toughness.

Yeah, I'm not expecting good medical updates on either player. Information is vague but it did seem neither would be available for another 1/2 season. There is a risk for both the players and the team to consider re-signing either.

They were both warriors but multiple injuries can derail promising careers.

Clercius still under contract going into his 3rd season but Corcoran started ahead of him in the playoffs.

None of the Canadian receivers were bad but none were great per se. If they think Clercius will be behind Corcoran going into TC then he might be trade bait? That said it would then only leave Cobb as depth.

Adding Cobb might suggest that a potential free agent Canadian receiver is not a high priority. Drafting one in the 1st 2 rounds might be though.

Depth Canadian. Still need guys behind Demski and Clercius. Don't want to start rookie draft picks if we can help it.
So maybe Cobb is just special teams at this point.

Could be designated as the early placeholder for Vaval.

He doesn't care. It's about trying to crack an NFL roster right now.

There's never enough QBs in the CFL, if he's good enough, he'll play. It doesn't matter if we've found one or not.

True I guess, Ryan Rigmaiden discussed in his recent interview how much more difficult it is to sign US college QB's now that they're receiving Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) money, motivation and hardship have been removed from the equation. 

Elgersma must be kicking himself for not attending a US College, and I imagine that money is going to help drain the pool of a lot of promising CDN football talent in USports.

He must have been decent. Didn't show much in Winnipeg.
