Title: OK, has Walters already won FA?
Post by: theaardvark on February 01, 2026, 07:40:34 PM
What the fizzy...  hours into the tampering period, Walters has signed players to all the spots the fans were demanding...

This is pretty much Christmas in Feb.

Feels like we've signed the top FA at every available position group.

And that's after keeping all of our internal FAs already.

He's done a good job today and yesterday with White. Much better than in 2025.  That's 5 new starters so far. 7 if you count Thomas and Kolo being replaced with veterans.

Ottawa is doing well in free agency. The Riders are losing talent. It's not over yet and I've lost count. Seems about 15-20 players are on the move.

Put me in the surprised category for the signings so far. I'm impressed and excited for the upcoming season! Just wish Walters would have done something like this last offseason to get the team to the home Grey Cup game. But, definitely shaping up to be a rebound year! Now sask can feel our pain losing players after winning the cup and everyone wanting a payday. Love that for them! :D

Felt like another status quo year but this is indeed the reload we need. See how the rest of the week plays out but this will be a pretty big departure from the past couple seasons. We have done the appropriate self scout and drawn the correct conclusions.

Stamps and a few other teams forgot to set their alarm clocks this morning, surprised Dominque Rhymes wasn't picked up by anyone yet, probably re-negotiating with the Stamps as he likes playing with Adams.

Gotta be top five ever.

Walters is filling the needs.

So much now to look forward to.

Pretty exciting day for most CFL fans, it's the annual day of musical chairs when a swack load of players switch teams in pursuit of personal redemption and financial fulfillment, while creating wild hope for every team and the coming season.  Beats static monotony any day, don't imagine the NFL has anything like it, first to last and last to first is forever a possibility.

Hats off to 3DN for posting every transaction, no other media outlet even tries to keep up with the frenzy.

This should have happen last off season when we had the GC in Winnipeg. Glad to see Mr. Walters acted early and often this year. Still a little concerned about our #2 QB, or lack of at this point.

What the BB truly needs is better defence...
