Walters already said as much.

Agreed. Waaay over rated and if he wants big bucks, good luck with that one, but I expect us to move on

Maybe Randolph, maybe Eli, maybe that big fella...

By "big fella" I assume you mean Wallace?

I'd have a hard time paying Dobson elite OL money when we've let seemingly better options walk before him and we have a guy like Wallace to take over if needed.

BUT, home Grey Cup, so pay whoever will take our money Walters.

I expect him to be signed. After QB most important unit imo.

Wallace, he's a monster and waaay more mobile that Dobson

There might be some growing pains but well worth the price if he gets the hang of OG beside Stanley. He seems physically capable of handling anything thrown at him which is an advantage over Dobson who sometimes got pushed back right into Zach's lap.

Do we want Lofton back?

Yes at right price

I don't want to start the season with a brand new OL again, that's for sure.

I wouldn't mind if Randolph beat someone out at TC, but we know that most starters are predetermined.

theaardvark · February 02, 2025, 06:53:45 PM

Yes, we want Lofton back, he is serviceable. You cannot have an all star at every position, unless 3/4's of them are new recruits on ELC's. If he doesn't, we have Randolph, Vanterpool and about a thousand NCAA OT's that did not make the NFL, with three new sets of eyes having scouted them.

If Dobson gets a better offer, Randolph can step in if Wallace doesn't.

We are still decently deep at every Oline position, with players in the pipeline. Eli is a great backup C and 6th man, Wallace and the other draft choices will fight to win spots.

Oline is my least concern.
