Roster

[Blue In BC]

Wallace is a question mark for me, the lack of depth in cdn oline we have is the only mitigating factor. We've watched him get beat consistently, great size but poor mobility and not impressed with his decision making. Part of it is due to weak center (Elsbury should be released btw). but often he is seen blocking air.
 

True enough. It may come down to whether we see our 2 OL in the NFL come north before free agency. If it doesn't happen by then we might see who is available in free agency. OTOH, we have to have options before we end up losing him elsewhere.

It's not 100% Neufeld doesn't retire after another let down in post season. He said he wants to continue but that might have changed.

Both Stanley and Neuf are undecided, probably waiting to hear what Zach does. Forgot that Neuf had twins this season which led to a lot of sleepless nights.

Agree on both of these, Wallace is no Dobson by any stretch and our centre is totally substandard, need 2 new replacements there for sure. Wallace is ok for 6th offensive linemen sets but not starter material, tooooo sloooooow

We're expecting to not re-sign Bryant but losing Neufeld might be an issue.

Agree, Neuf's play hasn't really fallen off that much, I hope he comes back.

I'm marginally surprised that Texada wasn't added to the 1 game IR to retain him under contract. I suppose he may have declined or he may be added later.

As is we have no back up DB's currently on the roster and an expectation that we move on from Nichols.

Texada was the only other TC DB that made it past final cuts ( on PR ) besides M. Williams. Allen did but ended up on IR all year.

Guy's I would like to see stay:

QB.  Dru Brown. ZC8 QB coach.

FB.  MCI

OL.  Wallace, and Neuf.

DL. Willy

LB. Jones, Ayers, Knox, Woodbey.

DB. Griffin, Hallett, Kelly.

ST. Sheahan.

Allen has good size and maybe able to play elsewhere in the secondary, if they move Williams to HB in place of Nichols he may get a look at CB.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Here's my must keeps from the FA list:

Dru Brown
Michael Chris-Ike
Kevens Clercius
Patrick Neufeld
Gabe Wallace
Tony Jones
Jaiden Woodbey

And here's who I would definitely let go:

Zach Collaros
Stanley Bryant
Thiadric Hansen
Michael Ayers
Jovan Santos-Knox
Kyrie Wilson
Cam Allen
Deatrick Nichols
Jamieson Sheahan

Williams moving to DHB is a reasonable thought.Don't really want an inexperienced player there.

I thought that Allen might get looked at switching to CB last year but that didn't seem to be something we did. It seemed that going to a Canadian at safety was planned before TC so that was strange on both counts.

Then he got injured.

So I'm not expecting Allen back. OTOH, several posters want him back so we'll see which way this swings.

If he has to switch positions then he's in competition was a dozen newbies in 2027 and he's coming off a season ending injury.

Interesting that you pick Woodbey over Griffin who was the starter at SAM most of the season.

[Pigskin]

Unless something crazy happens, our first pick is at #14. Do we go OL or DL.

Projected picks at 14. Latulippe 6'8" 310. OL. St. John 6'2" 296. DL, Lucero 6'4" 345. OL.

The Dru Brown trade.

second round selection in 2028 (conditional)

What was the condition? Do we know yet?
