Releasing a National DL while a Canadian DB takes over in dime signals a quiet ratio shift

With Michael Griffin in a walking boot, second-year Canadian Jaylen Smith is working in Griffin’s dime spot; Kornelson, a National defensive lineman, was cut in the same transaction period. That moves Canadian ratio weight from the D-line to the secondary, giving the Bombers more flexibility to keep Americans elsewhere — a roster-construction tell buried in the transactions wire.
