Jesse

Haven't expected him back for quite some time.

I would be pretty neutral. He was great when on the field. He would probably be awesome in a secondary role (Assuming we have Demski and Schoen back).

I'm legit worried about what's happening, tbh.

Als are going to lose their whole team unless they get this ownership thing settled.

He (Kolankowski) will start with the #1's. I think that's a given in a MOS coached team. It just depends on how quickly Eli can acclimatize. I'm sure he was signed to be the heir-apparent. Is he ready now? Will he need a few weeks to overtake the position? A season? Impossible to say right now.

"it's believed one other team offered more money than the Redblacks" - Tim Baines lol. Wonder who?

CFL News is posting some prime Rider quotes today...it's really something...

Don't really think it's a money thing.

Unfortunately, they have to start over again. Hopefully they have some success so Dyce can get some continuity again.

I think that’s what Bailey is looking for, tbh. I expect him to move on to a team who will feature him more. He’s been a great teammate, but I think he’s looking for more than we can offer (in terms of targets, not dollars - though they tend to go up together).

He's talked openly about wanting to be a "franchise player" - so definitely wants to be PAID. But he's also taking initiative, reaching out to management, trying to be involved with the organization and do promotions and get in the community, etc. But apparently no one is giving him that opportunity. So it's either a massive fail by the Als to not use him as a marketing flag or a clear sign that they have no interest in meeting him at his price point (but you'd think they'd just be clear with him - so seems like a fail either way).

He elaborated later, suggesting that Bo could have got more had he gone to FA - so therefore the Ti-Cats got a deal/didn't break the bank/however you want to phrase it. They probably don't release him, but I don't see a situation with Evans coming to camp with the Ti-Cats. They know they can't keep him for the season, and I don't think he wants to be there. A resolution will be found.

I would expect Dane to get released. I don't think he's so far and away better than some other options that Sask would give away too much.

If he can be half decent, he'll earn it.

That is way more than I was expecting.

See you June 9th, Bo.

Probably talking about the 'Handled Internally' podcast that Tait and Cameron do. They interviewed Strevy today too. So that should be coming out soon.

Could be. Gray will be at least 30 before Hardrick gives him the opportunity.

I'm not worried about our interior - although I do think we're down from our peak in 2021. But I am a little concerned about replacing the tackles when the time comes. No matter who you get, they ain't gonna be what Stanley and Hardrick are for us.

He's clearly not actually married.

It won't be that exact situation, as he was in the building with Walters a week or two ago - but I do think it's done and just hasn't been announced.

We really want a sous vide.

Oh, yes. I've used my air fryer almost every day for about 2 years now.

Gondola is highly dependent on location. It's my family's place and we have to order from this specific one and pick it up or it's hit and miss. I really love BP's boneless bites - they're my go-to. For actually wings, it was always Pony Corral and Jeffries. But it's been a long time and a couple of kids since my last wing night.

If teams aren't trading for his rights after the Eli signing, I would assume they all already know where he's going.
