He's capable of playing DE at times but it depends on the QB he's playing against. I wouldn't want to see him trying to do that against Rourke or VAJ for example.  Collaros is more of a sitting duck in that sense and is not going to run around and by most DE's. 

68.9% of his snaps in 2024 was at DE. He will definitely play both inside and out on our D but he excels at both. As a big man capable of playing DE he will likely play there in our 3 man fronts so that another big man can line up in the DT.

McCaffery wins come back player of the year. 1202 yards rushing, and another 924 yards receiving. After season ending Achilles tendinitis, and PCL injuries.

But we did re-sign top players: Oliveria, Demski, Holm, Nichols, Kramdi, Eli and Lawson all signed before the end of the year in December. There were some substantial increases for those players.

Compare that to December 2024 when we only re-signed Bryant.

Sure we don't know exactly how much was left but that's a strong indication there was a lot and we used it to our advantage.

On Feb 1 ( and T. White ) we gave out some very high contracts. That suggests that we're using 2026 SMS and didn't burn off most of that in December with those players being re-signed. Yes bonus payments could be pushed into 2026 but that wouldn't be the norm.

That seems like a reasonable 2 + 2 = 4 set of conclusions regardless of the exact amounts spent in December. Other teams are throwing around money in similar fashion.

When do we see the results of the 2025 SMS and whether anyone went over?

It doesn't matter how big the contracts are, contracts are paid in 2026. The only thing we could back date to 2025 SMS is bonus money. 

Giving big contracts this year, doesn't suggest we didn't burn SMS in December, it indicates that we had to upgrade to even make the playoffs this year. It suggests that top players will get more money because of the SMS bumps in 2025 & 2026.

Whether or not anyone went over the 2025 SMS is a moo point. (No one cares what a cow thinks) It has absolutely nothing to do with the disagreement.

Hypothetically, Nield probably will flash the least. But if someone is not going to fit, I think Broxton only because there's question marks about where he is playing

Terrible decision on McKenna's part no matter who's at fault.

Ceresna and Willie will be our DEs.

I think both wi11 move around on the 1ine so teams can't just doub1e the edges or chip b1ock with the RB. Offense is going to setup and then the D 1ine wi11 setup and attack. It's not going to be the straight rush 3 BS from 1ast year, we can ATTACK now. Not sure if Thomas knows what or how to generate pressure from the 1ine

Well as a DE he wasn't very effective, he got through to the QB one time in 11 games.

He was injured all last season. He's been one of the premier pass rushers in the CFL for like 5 years.
