Expand Yeah, I'm pretty sure Global players are basically an extra DI and needs to replace an American unless the team started more than 7 Canadians.

Expand Who knows, Ekakitie didn't put in the work needed, Walters has drafted well in the last couple of years but not every draft pick is golden. If Griffiths can earn some reps. next season he may be in position to replace Jake the following year.....that is if Jake chooses to retire. Drew Desjarlais deserves more attention than he's received, not since Suhk Chungh has a CIS rookie stepped in and played so well on the O-line, an accomplishment even the highly touted Qadr Spooner failed to achieve.

Expand Unless something has changed in the rules, I'm not sure why they wouldn't count. You actually don't need to start a certain amount of Canadians as per rule. The rule has always been written that you can only start a maximum amount of Americans, not that you must start a minimum amount of Canadians so since Hansen is not an American, he should count the same way as a Canadian.
