CFL Transactions 11/25?

[Blue In BC]

Several teams added 20-25 players to " active roster". Some were already under contract, some appear to have changed teams, a couple of rookies retired.

Anybody know what all this was about?

Couldn't see anything surprising per se about the Bombers but there might have been a couple of new rookies?

For the Bombers list at least, these are players that are under contract for 2021.

BC Lions delete 27 players from the active roster? QB Lloyd is the only I remember actually being on their roster.

Were these mostly CFL rookies added for TC 2020 that are now being released? Are some released from PR lists?

Lions roster still have over 80 players on the roster shown on CFL.CA so this is also confusing.

You don't see these sorts of transactions except at roster cut down day going into the season.

So what's the deal?

Well that's kind of the point. If they were already under contract for 2021, why was it necessary for these transactions?
