Awesome addition and nice to see. Theoretically no weak spots.

Maybe O'Donnell next.

Yep - QB, plus very inexperienced HC are big question marks IMO; rest of the roster looking potentially very strong - on paper anyways (though I'm not sold on overall O-line talent)

Good assessment. I think of it as Lance Stroll in an F1 car. All kinds of power.

Tough spot for a rookie coaching staff to coach and to also let the veteran players play their game. They have plenty of leadership if it is pulling in the same direction

O'Donnell would be nice, an upgrade over a couple of projected starters. But maybe he's done with football. There's one other guy left IMO. TJ Jones.

Are they still sticking to the low end of the cap or has the pendulum swung? Full bore to the max now.

National depth not being an issue could lead to a stud offensive tackle being brought in. Not saying Jamal Campbell is not the answer.

I would call Olifoye if they are looking. Still only 33 and more or less a casualty of the Mike Reilly signing with the new regime in Van. Same guys that said Sol Elimimian was done. Would still rank in the top half dozen OT's if he was playing.

Reaching out to Olifoye, a player who decided to retire on his own terms after the 2018 season would tell me the team is unable to actually find a quality import OT. I doubt he would want to return to pro football.

You could be right. I have no insider knowledge of JO but do know he is a quality import OT.

BC had lots of money for Joel Figueroa who is good and paid Brett Boyko who cost Brian Chiu his job. Kelly Bates replaces Boyko with Justin Renfrow and he is a genius. Maybe they should have just paid Olifoye to start with. They did the same thing with Elimimain and would have been better off had they not. Now they are paying Ryker Matthews.

Many good players did not play in 2019 due to contract issues and now they have all missed a year. Curious to see what we get.

Tristan Okpalaugo was another very good player who walked over Willie Jeffersons big contract. Teaming him with Victor Butler was my hope.

CFL could improve through salary disclosures but they don't seem to like the idea.
