Banks tweet : "I used to be scared of change now I'm excited". His follow-up was something to the effect of: "not everything I post is about football". Speedy gotta Speedy. Hard to disagree with the above sentiment: "He'll be back, eventually". |

Delvin Breaux coming back? Low to no risk so why not give him a chance. Even without Roddy TSN will drive this storyline into the ground if he starts. He's posting his 40 (4.47 apparently) times on twitter. if he's healthy, i'm excited |

Kalinic snapped up by the Colts.
probably should have utilized him more this year.... feel like a big body short yardage guy with good hands might have been handy on a few situations this year.... one time in particular, but i can't put my finger on it...

Banks won't be back.
They say "don't be a year late". I concur.

He was one of at least three that I didn't expect back. I'm thinking Laurent and Daly will be the other ones, but you never know.

More than once I said we weren't getting returns on investing in Laurent and you all viciously attacked me. Called me names. Chased me around the concourse...

We did ok without Teddy in the GC. If we have a shot at Boateng or Betts, or even Menard, we should probably take it.

They didn’t have a viable backup for Laurent after Wade retired and had to keep trotting him out on a bad knee just to keep the ratio. If they can snag a Menard or Boateng it might help them turn the page from big Ted but Mason Bennett will need to stay healthy too.
I like Katsantonis but not a big fan of playing Adeleke out of his safety spot for a whole game the way we did in the Cup.
Ideal scenario is Deane Leonard and Mo Diallo actually come to camp - both potential starters down the road.

There's still growth to be had within this group, esp at Oline and receiver. Dline likely needs an infusion, and kicking needs an overhaul Obviously all of this is based on last year's team which is now 80% free agent, but... |

Yeah I mean the guys that have been to at least 3 Cups. Banks, Sim, Teddy, etc. Agree 80% of the team can win now. A few tweaks and upgrades going into 21 and even Masoli could have led them to a GC |

Ted ain't the beast he used to be last season, playing on a bum knee. It wouldn't surprise me if he retires. He certainly should not expect top salary. Besides, virtually every other contract has been for 2 years. I am not sure Ted could last... |

I'm ok with moving on from him now, but if he wants to be a rotational player at a reduced contract, well....it'll depend on how bad his knee still is. |
