What's your 3 "money/ratio no object" FA wish list?

If the cap/ratio wasn't an issue, what FA's would you like to see in Blue & Gold in 2026?

Mine personally:

OT Jarrell Broxton - probably the best OT in the league not named Jemarcus Hardrick.  I'd take him in a second, and he'd be an instant upgrade over Lofton or Vanterpool/Randolph (who have been acceptable, not not great in the sense they're in the conversation for best OT in the league).

DL Jake Ceresna - had an early end to last season, but has put up great numbers both before and after his NFL stints.  Instantly gives us the pressure that has been lacking for a couple of seasons.

WR Tim White or Austin Mack - either of these guys are an upgrade at a postition the Bombers have struggled with since Schoen got broken and Lawler left town.  Both are consistently productive, even with injury-shortened seasons.  I'll take whomever we can sign first, although getting both would be amazing.

BONUS PICK - S Marc Antoine Duqouy - If Katsantonis was still available, he'd be my pick.  Duqouy being Canadian is a bonus.  Only missed a couple of games to injury over the past 5 seasons.  Consistently ranks among the league's top safeties, with a 68.4 overall grade in 2024 following a dominant 93.0 in 2023.


Blue In BC

That's a really tough question, I have my eye on both Broxton and Allen from BC ( injury in 2025 an issue? ) to see if they get re-signed there. Duquoy certainly would be of interest. He also be a ratio changing player.

Overall your list is quite good and interesting.

I think we'll see a lot of activity this week as free agency tampering window approaches. Then if some top names explore that window, we'll see some movement to other teams.



One game at a time.

My short list of interesting FAs based on the cfl list (might be slightly stale):

Dequoy
McGloster
Rambo
Addison
Brissett
Grant
McManis
Powell
KeeSean Johnson
McEwen
Coker
M.Henry
Ceresna
Dunbar
Broxton

If money was no object, and with no regard to our "need" at the moment, the bolded are who I'd take.

With regard to who we need, Dequoy and Johnson would still be good adds.

If you have to go by need and money, Johnson is the only one who is a lock.

Dequoy would be an intriguing fit for us with our max-cover schemes.  Someone who can get to the target that fast would be perfect.
Never go full Johnston!

Apparently Dequoy is a pretty big celebrity in Quebec with the French set and it goes beyond football, he does appearances of various locally produced TV shows, so he might not be inclined to venture further away than Ottawa.

Broxton -move randolph to guard then we have a succession plan for Bryant
Mcmanus (hes a game changer on d)
WHite or Mack

Maybe he'd fit right in living in St. B....
