The only person who was released who I wish we kept around was Webb. Looked like a lot of speed from the DE position.

The PR seems like it's stocked with prospects who could be good for the future.

There are still moves that need to happen, but we're a couple of weeks from our first game still.

No complaints here.
My wife is amazing!

Don't love only carrying two DEs on the AR, both of whom are over 30.

Yes, not even enough for a proper rotation, hoping not to see a DT trying to play DE.

A lot could change in the next couple of weeks.  We have Adams, Woods, and then Kornelson, Lawson, Thomas, and Schmekel. Can't see us with 6 DTs and only 2 DEs.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

Probably. The current set up screams 3-4 but we'll see.

Webb looked great on that fumble return, nut I think Person was the one that caused the fumble.  SO if you have to choose one... I think they chose right.
Unabashed positron.  Blue koolaid in my fridge.  I wear my blue sunglasses at night.  Homer, d'oh.

No big surprises, I knew we wouldn't cut our vets and happy we didn't.  Proud of Sheahan for making the roster, he had a  some good competition there.  I think he will serve us just fine.  Happy to have Allen, Cooley, Cobb, White, Woodbey on the PR, those are some studs!  Case a good backup.  Some of the other guys I know less of but showed flashes and I know others were pumping their tires.  Gowan had good pedigree and showed ok.  I seen Avery make a few plays.  Can't keep everyone, never know could see them on a call back.

Interesting that we have no one on the retired list - draft picks that can return to University. Does anyone know if any of our draft picks that we released can return to University?

I'm surprised that Myron Mitchell was released. Thought he had a good camp and pre-season games.

There was an article the other day about Novak (the 3rd LB we drafted this year), and that he could go back to school as a back up plan. Likely outcome.

Busy day trying to find the cfl guys cut. Caught three of the teams on the CfL sight last night. Can anyone tell me if the rest are up? Please and thanks

Uwubanmwen is going back to U of A. You don't see him on the retired list as he nevered got signed due to recovering from an injury.

Trey Laing had to leave camp. Who knows if he plans on playing football in the future.

Blue In BC

We released about 6 players that I thought might stick on our PR. However, even PR spots are limited and some may have chosen to not accept a PR spot.

Overall our PR looks stronger than in 2024 but it's just a guess at the moment. Need to see how this shapes out when we see an actual game day AR and changes made to accommodate.

There are some concerns to be addressed.
One game at a time.

No mention of Zack Davis on any list, I guess coming from the Wpg. Rifles he was a non-counter and is not recognized.  Current PR has 11 players, isn't it supposed to be 10?
