So, Buck is going to lose at least some of his WR talent, and has to get Rourke into CFL form.

Tough job...

McInnes is going to come cheap...neither is Chungh....there will be some salary cutbacks elsewhere if they sign these 2

Haba is going to test the waters in FA.  2024: 10 Games, 6 DTs, 1 Sack, 1 FF.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

Interesting. I wasn't even sure he'd be re-signed or if he was, not a huge bump in SMS. It's so hard to evaluate our DL with all the injuries and rotation used on defence. He made some plays and has some upside. Is it enough to command interest elsewhere?

I guess we'll see.

He had a headstart on Garbutt but by the end of the season fell behind his progression.  Wouldn't cry if neither of them won the job opposite Willy, they're  okay but not great.

I agree although there is possible upside for both. That said when Walter's mentioned he might be more active in free agency, the DL was where I thought that most probable.

If we're able to re-sign our offensive players, that's already a strong group. Our secondary and LB's are good which leaves DL as the target to improve.

I'd like to see them go after another rangy DE bookend like AC Leonard or Cedric Wilcots, who they traded to the Ti-Cats 2 seasons ago, and they cut last year.  I prefer DE's who use speed and moves over brute strength....a player just like Jackson Jeffcoat!

I don't think either of those 2 are being considered. Someone like them perhaps. We'll see which players reach free agency or tampering period to see if we draw some muutal interest.

This should be priority #1, IMO.

Lanier or Albright would be good adds

Any DE's that are known to fans are going to be too expensive.  Talk all you like about which FA's out there are a good fit, its going to be tough to fit any in under the cap.

Not more than we were paying Lawler and Schoen.

If it's where we want to allocate the cap, it's more than possible.

Lucky if you can get a half season out of Lanier, Sask. made him the highest paid defensive player at one time paying him more than Willie Jefferson and every year he finds his way onto the 6 game so he can extend his career another season. He's one of the reasons Sask. had such a bad locker room culture, Lanier and Duke Williams are players of low character with zero integrity.

Haven't heard Duke Williams name for a few seasons.  Bad blast from the past.

True. I don't know if we'll land a free agent DE but a DT might be less expensive and fill a need as well.
