You're forgetting the goal posts at the back of the endzone. field goal range would change by 20 yards, since the endzones are changed to 20 yards and goalposts at the back of the endzone.

He didn't forget.

It will be interesting to see if there will be any associated rule changes.
Will kickoff placement and points of scrimmage change to suit a shorter field? Possibly.
Any new rules regarding the above may impact the number of field goals as well. Technically, getting to field goal range is only five yards longer than it is now when a team is driving from its own end of the field.

Additionally, without the concern of a return on a missed field goal, will that increase attempts of longer field goals?

5 yards. Interesting. I believe that was the one of the reasons given for shortening the field. Ie;so that the difference in how far you needed to move the ball to get into field goal range wasn't so pronounced.

End zones will be 15 yards and the hold length adds 7. So it's the LOS +22 yards to calculate field goal length in the CFL in 2027 (the NFL is +17).

Regardless what the endzone depth is, there's less chance you're going for a field goal because the goalpost is at the back of the endzone, and it in no way makes it easier to score a touchdown. So, no greater amounts of touchdowns, and less field goals means less scoring altogether. It's not like a shorter field, and shorter endzone will promote more scoring or make the game more exciting.

T. Harris re-signs a 1 year extension in Regina. Retirement held off for at least another year.

In Toronto Chad Kelly has been named the starter in 2026 for the Argos. I'd take that to mean Arbuckle will move on but no teams looking for a new # 1 so who offers the most for a #2? Since Kelly's SMS was off the books on 6 game IR, I don't think they can afford to keep Arbuckle IMO.

IMO I felt Brady was underutilized under Hogan all year and it was one of my primary pain points with Hogan. Brady will always say he's not getting the ball often enough.

When you're arguably the best RB in the entire league and getting less than 15 touches in 6 out of 18 games (and 3 with less than 10 touches) in 2025, I'd be pissed, too.  Brady was criminally underused by Hogan as a weapon in 2025, and that alone should be enough to get Hogan fired.

Looks like he gets good penetration on film.  On the lighter side of DTs at 285# tho.

He's an inch taller and 5 lbs lighter than Casey Sayles. I don't see that as an issue.

Dahlin with another dirty hit last night. 5 and a game for boarding. Add to that, his cheap hit on GV13 a couple of nights ago.
