So we're looking at what 6 NI on offense (2 wr/ 1rb/ 3 ol) and 2 on defense (SAM and DT)?

Could always find the next shoen. You know I think they deserve the benefit of the doubt with receivers and dbs.

Brady 

Demski Clercius 

Neufeld kolo 

Lawson (Jake) 

Kramdi. 
 

that’s 7 there. And it doesn’t include a 3rd OL. 
 

think we go 3 import OL 

 

[Pete]

Still a number of recievers out there, has any import reciever been signed yet?

No. Actually another was released. Hatcher in BC. Which makes me think they gonna pay Kenny.

Need to start 8

Kyle likes to have weapons on offense. If Lawler leaves I'd bet he's putting in a bid for geno

Yes. They prob go Kelly at safety. Perhaps that’s the way you get to 8. Unless they sign an OL, right now it’s looking like Wallace or an American starting. Is Wallace ready? I dunno. 

Couldn’t you designate a Willie Jefferson Or any guy who has been here 3 seasons now as a nationalized and go 7 actual Canadian and 1 nationalized one. Maybe we use that rule this year?

Lawson or Jake. Not both. maybe neither even. 
 

3 OL Brady 2 rec Kramdi  Nationilzed dude.  That’s 7 plus nationilzed player. 
 

they don’t really need to start a Canadian  at  DT.

I’m not ready to pencil in wheatfall tbh. Not after what we saw on his return from injury. It was one big game based on one big catch and run. Agudosi did a whole lot more than that. 
Would for sure be a lot more comfortable knowing dalton would be ready. But I doubt he will be.

I'm very curious what all comes out of his media availability tomorrow. I will say that I'm excited to see what Clercius does with more responsibility/touches...

Why do you say this? It was a knee injury wasn’t it? Does that usually take a full year?

It's been widely reported that he's not expected back for a long time yet, but... I suspect we'll know more after his media availability tomorrow.
