It would be nice if CFL rosters were bigger and we could realistically roster a Canadian and American running back.

More competition amongst players leads to a better quality product.

Might be better product for the league, but it would instantly negate our ratio-busting Brady advantage.  And that would instantly make his salary insane.

If there was enough AR for IMPs/DIs "take a flyer" RB guys, then players like Brady and Kramdi would earn half of what they are.

I do like the idea of 1 or 2 extra IMP DIs on AR (by expansion), just like BinBC, but not so many extra DIs that they can be tossed around for such frivolous uses as this example.

If he has the talent, he definitely can replace anyone.  Brady is a tough one, but Peterson for sure.  Using him for load management on Brady, and giving defenses fits in adapting to the personnel sets will be amazing.

The only way a dude like Taylor cracks the AR mid/longer term is if he is a RB-mostly but who can also catch and run routes.  Think McCrae.

Cooley never lasted because he stunk as a REC and Brady got healthy.

Now find an IMP RB who can be even more McCrae than McCrae -- almost to a Demski level -- and THEN you can AR a IMP RB.

The coaching staff was at least open to the idea last year. Logan was signed with that intention, stone returner and back-up RB (how he was used successfully in Calgary anyway).

But with Vaval at returner, is the option still in the cards? JJ would have to be god-level immediately.

That's just a math / ratio issue. If Logan had won the role as returner as a DI that would have made him more versatile.

In the same way that Vaval could be an in game injury replacement as a DB. Taylor may have multiple skills but how would he fit into the current roster without being a DI? The situation has changed for 2026.

I think Taylor or another RB will be kept on the PR. Having only 4 DI spots is restrictive.
