Which Vets do we cut next season

[Brandon]

I know we are all charged up from that disappointing loss... but which guys do you think should get cut next season and which ones do you think the team actually will move on.  

I'm going to assume realistically that they won't cut Zach and won't cut Bighill. 

Houston?  Jeffcoat?  Punter?

So. Many..... I hope Walters gets a new deal (cough JBR.....) and he can figure out the rebuild. But I'm done with this core.

[MOBomberFan]

Punter was ROTY nominee... what a crop of newcomers... be better next year

[Booch]

No need to cut Jeffcoat...guys a stud

But Thomas...punter ..Bennett...Briggs...Jackson...kolo...Houston not cut per say....but replaced...if a lb out performs biggie in camp .. Offer him a reduced salary role back up....

[17to85]

Punter, Jackson, bighill (unless he is a backup but not going to happen so don't give the coach a choice) Thomas... that's just a start. Those are the ones that need to be off the roster. 

[MOBomberFan]

Jeffcoat a stud 2/3 of the year anyways. Still worth it.

[17to85]

Jeffcoat is fine, we just need to have some depth at defensive line to keep everyone fresh. That what won them cups in 19 and 21. 

[JuranBoldenRules]

See who wants to play first.

Only way I'm keeping Hardrick around is if Bryant retires for continuity.

Guy had a shitty season and got busted up trying to lean on pass pro in this game leaving ZC dancing around.

Yeah yeah, OL of the year.  It's a lifetime award.

Don't really see much use for Alexander at this point unless he comes cheap.  Wilson, Bighill not very impactful and likely to fall off cliff.

Secondary needs a rebuild around Nichols, Holm, Parker with a free agent and a rookie.  See what Kramdi does, might be headed back home.

[rebusrankin]

Thomas, Jackson, Houston, Kolo, Bighill, Alexander, Briggs, Miller, Sheehan.

[Noeller]

It was a huge mistake letting this roster age together from 2019.....

I think Wilson was still fine otherwise I agree with most of what you've said.

Half those guys replacements already on the roster more than likely. Reload not rebuild. We will be back.

lack of..... helped us lose cups in 22 and 23

[Goalie]

Bennett Jackson Thomas Houston biggie Kolo Briggs Miller to start

yup....and sad part was we were the team to kind of establish and start that trend of having 7..8 more than capable dline guys

and thats the frustrating part....we had dline help on PR that wouldhave been huge....but we wasted a spot all damn yr on a useless position

Our punting and coverage all yr...literally all damn yr sucked...our punter cant flip the field unless he gets a lucky bounce/roll....yet we had another on PR all yr who could boom it...had great hang time.....and then we cut him 15 games into season...like wtf?!?

[Alpaca]

We need to upgrade DE/DT, MLB/Cover LB, CB. We can’t continue to give roster spots to guys because they’ve been here so long. Might be time to move on from Jefferson too.

Like, how?

Check yourself man.

[Alpaca]

Need a better punter too. Not sold on Sheehan.

There's like a half dozen guys still on the roster that arguably cost us the last two GCs.....???

I mean there's a half dozen guys that helped put us in a position 7 other teams wish they were in so how full is that glass exactly?

Who cost us the Grey Cup that we should have moved on from? That wouldn't have prevented us from making the Grey Cup in the first place.

It was a poorly played game. Doesn't take away from everything that got us to the opportunity to play in the last two Grey Cups.

[wbbfan]

None hahahahahaha /cry 

for me, Thomas, biggie, rose, one tackle atleast not playing tackle, ba, Houston, and Zach. Plus Bennett Sheahan Jackson kola to bench maybe gray to tackle or bench. 

[BBlink]

Folks on here that were questioning the roster management have to feel a bit vindicated after this one (after the sadness/anger goes away). We stuck with the same ol same ol and didn't find and develop enough guys. Bighill playing tonight was a mistake. Schoen playing tonight was a result of not developing someone to step in and be the guy.

We could have dressed Rose, we could have dressed a d lineman. Hell, without Jackson we could have dressed 2 d linemen.

We really relied on Jeffcoat and Willie getting home and they were well schemed against. 

Defense was okay but not good enough. Offensively we were playing with 3 injured receivers and a QB who for some reason can't seem to make the big throws in the big game.

Im beyond frustrated. 

[MOBomberFan]

Nobody wants to just be the division champs but this was a good team and there is good reason to remain optimistic. Look around the league, I'm not trading coaches or rosters with anyone. Gpas here and there, who can;t say the same? See how the offseasons goes and take it from there

[Alpaca]

Regardless of what happens going forward..we are still going be a contender for first. I think we can get just as much production from a rookie than some of the vets on the team.
