In FA, I woud get a Centre, a DT and then a #1 WR, and then a #2 Qb, you may be right, we may run out of money to sign anyone

Derek Taylor has pointed out that the Birmingham Stallions (UFL) list Taylor Elgersma as part of their QB room for the 2026 season.

DT followed up with Kyle Walters who says that nothing has changed. Elgersma is still pursing an NFL opportunity before making any further decisions.

Ed Tait says that Elgersma was drafted by Birmingham today but that doesn't equate to being signed.

Nice to see the forum is in peak off season mode.  I think we could all use a little deep breathing on this one.

Harris does make a difference on and off the field.  Leadership is critical and having the entire club and coaches on the same page is critical.  Team culture is the glue that makes cups stick to you.

I believe that Brady is a good leader in training.  Needs time to season.

Great signing by the Riders, wonder if they paid 'Ford' $$ or did he come at a reasonabe price tag.

So, the decision had been made to move on from him.  Walters/MOS aren't ones that move on without a plan in place, though, so I fully expect to see Eli getting the C spot going into camp, it being his to lose. 

We don't tend to buy FA Oline, can't remember ever signing a FA Olineman to start.  We've lost a lot of starting Oline to higher bidders, and while some of those stung a bit, no way we could have matched, we'd have a million dollar Oline now.

Not saying we can't sign a FA OC, just saying anyone worth signing will be expensive, and I'm not sure they are in the budget.

Stan Bryant and worth every penny we've ever paid him. Centre is an important cog on the LO, and I woudn't be adverse to spending $$ to get an above average one

Yep, I think Kolankowski just had his second baby too.  Tough job but a good GM exists as a bit of an outsider and never becomes part of the team in spirit, he has to remain neutral to circumstance and see players as no more than assets on a chart. I think that's reason #1 MOS will never become a GM as he loves his players too much, I imagine that was the source of a lot of disagreements with Walters back in the early days.

I saw a quote from OSH after his re-signing where he was asked about his relationship with KW, and he said something along the lines of "we don't scream at each other as much any more."
