Oliveira's record pace is a double-edged sword—his workload could be a contract weapon.

Brady Oliveira rushed 24 times for 164 yards and 4 TDs against Ottawa, bringing his season total to 16 TDs, on pace to challenge the single-season record. His heavy usage (28 touches in that game) makes him the focal point of the offense, but also gives him leverage in future contract talks as he approaches free agency, knowing the team can't afford to lose its engine.
