Guaranteed Bryant remains on our roster, we have 2 good/great tack1es, p1ay them. Broxton and Bryant at tack1es, Neufe1d and whomever at centre and guards, but guaranteed those 2 are our tack1es.

Uh, both. He was a colossal disappointment last season.

Wonder what Mitchell's status is, possibly still sitting in jail?

He played OT prior to us signing him and he wasn't good. We made him trim down weight.

Hardrick was in the league for 2 years prior to arriving in Wpg. and played in 20 games for BC and Sask. so they both took a long look at him and still decided to cut him at the end of the season.  I think you're right, his weight affected his ability and he still needs to lose 20 lbs. or more.

Oline must be nurtured and grown.

Dline, get the best players you can and plug them in.

I think any GM worth his salt can and should apply both strategies to either side of the trenches.

We were also told that Collaros received 2 bonuses already this year. I'm pretty certain his whole contract is 2026 money.

I thought that was a glitch, cause it didn't make any sense.

Clercius and Woli were 3rd or 4th progression guys mainly. That's how I see Nield when he is in.

Zach requires a bailout man, that won't be Demski, White or Wilson as they're the primary targets running set routes.  Clercius never picked up on that role but Corcoran illustrated fairly quickly he knew when to break off a route and make himself available.

They extended Collaros an extra year on his existing contract on 05/23/25, so it's conceivable some of his 2026 bonus money also came out of the 2025 SMS.

The phrase that comes to mind when they bring in a player that has no chance of winning a job is  "misrepresentation of intentions", looks bad on the club and leaves a bad taste in the mouth of the victim.

Every rookie TC invite knows it's a long shot. It's professional football. They've been the the odds their entire life.
