Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on January 08, 2026, 06:54:01 PMWould that be last season when Masoli barely played? Can't see the Lions continuing on with him as their backup, he didn't look capable of taking over if Rourke went down.
Don't think Strev would be healthy until halfway through next season at best, in that time Zach would have been knocked out of 3 games. Anyone aware if Strev is documenting his rehab online again? That would be a good indication of his intentions and mood, just can't see that dawg ever giving up.
Quote from: Tecno on January 08, 2026, 01:54:14 AMI never hide my Rider bias. But your statement proved my point: "pretty decent". Why is "pretty decent" getting a spot on an NFL team? I thought the NFL only sniped the best of the best of the best (... and, uh, Strevie).
So I thought, maybe Meyers is 6'2, NFL loves giants... nope, only 5'10.
Sometimes I really don't understand the NFL. BC's Carter going down, that makes sense. Zylstra & Walker when they went, that made sense. Singleton, makes sense.
There are about 15-20 RECs in the CFL I'd take before Meyers. So why him? The only other thing I can think of is he's still super young (25).

Pretty sure everyone said the same thing in FA25...
We'll need legit options in-house before they rule out Strevie. Or he rules himself out first... but Masoli has proven you can bust your knee 3 times in a row and finally have an injury-free year.
Quote from: Blue In BC on January 08, 2026, 04:30:11 PMI really like Cadwallader. He's an excellent ST player. I wonder if he'll have any progression to more snaps on defence this year. Two year deal was another good situation. I hate those 1 year deals!!.
Since we drafted 3 LB's in 2025 I'm wondering if there is a " spot " left for Gauthier in 2026. Gauthier is still an asset but how many Canadian LB's can you squeeze onto a roster? I'm curious how much Cadwallader will earn but don't expect it to be unreasonable.
It might depend on the status of the injury to Novak and when he can return. However I do have Gauthier not on my list to re-sign at the moment. But keep in mind this is not a performance issue, it's a change in succession with younger ELC players versus a veteran, older player that is not on an ELC.
I wouldn't be upset to see him return but I've made the case on why I feel that way.
Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on January 08, 2026, 06:00:35 PMSome of these coaches are totally anonymous, it took me till last season to recognize Darrell Patterson on the sidelines, and was with the team 5 years.
Quote from: Blue In BC on January 08, 2026, 04:46:58 PMI noticed that Bolduc is no longer listed as a RB coach. That seemed expected with Hogan moving back to that role.
Quote from: Tecno on January 08, 2026, 01:49:10 AMCGY seemed perfectly happy to let him go. I think it was more than just injury. $$ and age worked against him. And he never lit it up in CGY like he did here. M.Sayles has been the poster child for sustained success after leaving WFC.
