The 2023 CFL Quarterback Carousel

IIRC Adams re-negotiated his deal when anointed as their starter. Evans may need to re-negotiate his in order for the Lions to absorb higher SMS costs for their QB's overall. Lions were luncky SMS wise in 2022 with Rourke on an ELC.

Lucky is bad for their SMS (see what I did there?), but Burnham's retirement saves them a bundle...

Adding Couture and Mike Jones didn't come cheaply. In addition to what might have been the lowest cost QB 3 man roster in the CFL, there may be more cuts / trades to offset.

Adding Mike Jones probably confirms Breaux is retiring.
