OL choices are tough. 

The best ones may never come to the CFL, OL are the most likely to get NFL deals.

So, do you take a lesser player counting on them not getting an NFL look, a better player that will get a look but may end up here in a couple years, or the best player that may never come north?

You might get lucky and find a guy that is very good but knows he's the wrong measureables for a legit NFL look, and WANTS to play and be a part of a team long term.

Walters has been pretty good at identifying guys that will stick with us.  We did lose a few that "went home", but they also got ridiculous money to do so.

That's why they hold onto Wallace and make sure he re-signs for another 3 years, he's a proven commodity with great physical assets, every unproven draft pick is a gamble.

Not happy with Barron being out. Really like his speed and size.  NN62 has had a terrible year.

There is also the season ticket referral program.

If you are a STM and know someone that is interested in becoming a STM you can fill out a referral form. If they become a STM you will receive a 25 or 50 dollar gift card (depending on the seat location).

The NFL draft happens before us and players are also added as UDFA's. So we should have a pretty good idea which are going to stay in the CFL. Teams will also have talks with players which is useful as well.

I don't think teams draft many players in the 1st couple of rounds that they don't expect to see immediately.

The " flyers " are taken in the following rounds where those get NFL chances.

I think have the luxury with current Canadian depth to take a chance on someone. OTOH, I expect to see a couple of 2026 draft choices return to school.

We can't add everybody to this year's AR. Last year we added 6. This year I only expect 2 or 3 to be immediate. Maybe a couple see time on PR.

Roy Fired by the Islanders.

Fired? Looks like DeBoer is his replacement.
