What if we don't win the grey cup in 2023?

Youre taking up cap space and a roster spot if youre no longer an impact player esp. at LB and Lawrence hasnt been in two years.

I disagree . If they want to return, then bring them to camp . Give them the opportunity to claim their spot . Obieā€™s saying ā€œBetter is betterā€ should always apply but give the vets a chance .

I agree, but with a salary cap, there are times when it canā€™t.

I agree Simoni may have lost something, but last year he was injured for half the season and in 2021 he was the East Division Defensive Player of the year.
In terms of how good he will be in 2023 it is all speculation. I still think he signs a new one year deal soon.

Agree. But cutting a player ā€œa year too early is better than a year too lateā€ holds truth .

Until people start to go berserk because that player, playing elsewhere, has a career year and kills us. Just imagine the posts from the peanut gallery.

The 2023 CFL Draft order is on the CFL site . The Cats have 6 picks .

I like how picking 6th matches up with #6 on the most recent rankings list:

A 6ā€™3", 210 lb. American trained WR from Peterborough would be a nice ā€œcatchā€ for the Cats.

Pat, I hope you donā€™t mind - a bit easier to read in table format (without the one -3 yds rushing attempt in 2019 :smiley:):

Thanks ClosetCat . As soon as I posted it , I thought , oh my gawd how do I fix that ? The original certainly didnā€™t look like my post . God bless you my child . :heartbeat:

The # 1 guy in CFL rankings , Chase Brown from London Ont , reminds me of Kenny Walker . Walker was a standout RB with Michigan State last year . This year with the Seahawks he could become the rookie of the year in the NFL . I think Brown is that good and therefore will be a late round pick in the CFL Draft .
