Just speculating that we might be seeing more changing of the guard around the CFL this off season. Either by retirement or pushed off of rosters one way or another.

1. Masoli
2. MBT
3. Streveler ( due to injury )
4. BLM ( he said he was not sure about a return ). Negotiating?
5. Harris ( if he wins the Grey Cup ) Turning 40 before next TC
6. Collaros ( if we have a new HC, OC and changes in management )

I listed these in my ranking of probability but that's just pure speculation. It's tough to know when the cards are on the table and give up those big contracts.

If the Riders win, I think the chances Harris retires go up. Thoughts?

I think the idea of retiring at the top ( Grey Cup win ) might be appealing for an older player. He's still capable of playing but family considerations come into play.

Age, injury history, performance and SMS hit's apply to all players. We see about 80 new players in the CFL every year. About the same change teams for better opportunity and higher SMS.

We already have Ottawa with a new HC and there will be a domino result in Toronto.

He might be playing this week. Depends on that troublesome hammy for Alexander. I am sure he will start but can he finish? Physically MBT seems the same as ever, I figure he'll be backing up somewhere next year.

Don't see Collaros retiring.

I think Harris continues to play, he's a fitness fanatic and the Riders don't have anyone that will come close to beating him out for the #1 job. He can play as long as he likes.
