The Tommy Condell hire is as much a roster decision as a coaching one.

Winnipeg reunited with Condell to install a new offence for Collaros, but Collaros has missed nine games over the past two seasons (five in 2025, four in 2026). Committing scheme and QB dollars to a 37-year-old with that recent injury history means the front office should be aggressively managing the backup QB spot via the practice squad and veteran minimum signings.
