Upgrading over Parrish is a bare-minimum requirement. That said, it's asking a lot of a guy who has barely played DE in the CFL and a guy who has been little more than a journeyman for several seasons. Fan optimism is both expected and encouraged, but I'm taking a wait-and-see on this, and won't be surprised if DE is not one of the Canadian starter positions in the lineup.
They have some DTs that can apply serious pressure that can allow the young DEs to develop and get into sync with overall DLine philosophy. But, these guys need to sign and come to training camp. Not sure going UFL is a better route to NFL especially when you were just in the NFL. I understand American players thinking that way, but there is no excuse for Canadians to be thinking that. Right Taylor Elgersma?
Elgersma has not signed with the UFL.

So, it's good or smart to hand tons of playing time to the likes of Parrish & Chatfield, with basically zero CFL/Canadian ball experience, at DE, but would be a huge risk to try Kongbo & Ojo ? - gee, i wonder why that is ?

I love that Grant is back! I know he was injured much of last year, and even if he's lost a step (jury is still out)he's a heck of a returner!

We have signed kicker Matt Ammendola

This is puzzling. An American PK who struggled in the NFL. Is Liram retiring?

I suspect Ammendola will be a camp leg.

I think this is exactly the case.
