More likely he'd be pencilled in at RT with Broxton taking over at LT. That's even if Cline shows enough upside to start in 2027. That's only a wish at the moment.

If we lose Neufeld to retirement he might be our RG before he has a chance to move to OT.
One game at a time

Not necessarily.  Though it is late in the season, there's precedent for 1st year week 1 starters (yes, by the Mafia).  If his "week 1" is our week 17, he could still start then.

If Fortin can start in CGY in week 1, then so can Cline.

The only difference I can see, and the big question is, did Cline play 3-down in U or 4?  Big advantage if it was 3-down, though I'm guessing not.
Never go full Johnston!

Next year we can see what he does in camp when there are some opportunities for snaps up for grabs. The guy isn't exactly a young rookie, so the hope is that he hits the ground running I think.

I agree. He has to show he can play in the CFL before he starts replacing anyone on our OL. He was with Boston College for 6 years and only has 14 starts. 11 of those in his final year. He's a big man with all the tools, but he will have to adjust to the Canadian game.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

Dude's a rookie with upside; he's not taking anyone's job this year. 
Plan for the worst. Hope for the best.

Great news.  Get him on the PR ASAP, let him get comfortable with the team & systems and then he'll be able to grab a spot next year.
Ditto with Manu.

These 2 replacing Bryant & Neufy take away much of the arguement many have of saying we're too old.
