CFL RELEASES PENDING FREE AGENTS LIST
By Ed Tait - Dec 4 2020

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers brain trust tasked with building a roster for a Grey Cup title defence will soon have the official green light to continue construction.

The Canadian Football League announced Friday the moratorium on re-signing players put in place following the cancellation of the 2020 season will be lifted at 11 a.m. on December 7. As well, the league set the date for the opening of free agency for February 9, at 11. a.m.

"While we are quite aware of the COVID-19 challenges currently facing society at large and sports in particular, we are also encouraged by the almost daily reports of progress in the development and distribution of rapid tests, treatments and, most importantly, vaccines," said CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie in a statement. "We are taking every step to be prepared to return to the field next year."

The league released the entire team-by-team list of prospective free agents with the Winnipeg list including 32 names (not including Jovon Johnson, who signed a one-day contract last March to retire as a Bomber).

The Edmonton Football Team has the largest list with 47 prospective free agents, while the Toronto Argonauts have the least at 22.

The proliferation of one-year contracts over the last few years the Bombers list of free agents is substantial and features some juicy names, including stars like Andrew Harris, Stanley Bryant and Justin Medlock.

Winnipeg's list includes nine players who started games last year on offence and seven on defence. Here's the breakdown (*indicates American player):

STARTERS (OFFENCE)

RB Andrew Harris
OL Stanley Bryant*
WR Rasheed Bailey*
WR/KR Lucky Whitehead*
SB Nic Demski
OL Cody Speller
OL Geoff Gray
OL Jermarcus Hardrick*
OL Patrick Neufeld

STARTERS (DEFENCE)

DB Brandon Alexander*
DE Jackson Jeffcoat*
DB Josh Johnson*
DB Nick Taylor*
DT Jake Thomas
LB Kyrie Wilson*
DT Steven Richardson*

SPECIALISTS

K Justin Medlock*
LS Chad Rempel
LS Maxime Latour

OTHERS

QB Sean McGuire*
FB Mike Miller
LB Jesse Briggs
LB Thomas Miles
WR Daniel Petermann
DB Chris Lyles*
DB Kerfalla Exume
BL Shayne Gauthier
WR Julian Feoli-Gudino
DL Oluwatobi Antigha*
FB John Rush
LB Brandon Calver
OL Darrell Williams*

Worth noting also are some of the names NOT on the list - players who were already under contract for 2021 or signed extensions this past offseason.

That group includes: quarterback Zach Collaros; offensive linemen Michael Couture, Drew Desjarlais and Tui Eli; defensive linemen Willie Jefferson and Connor Griffiths; receivers Darvin Adams, Charles Nelson and Drew Wolitarsky; running backs Johnny Augustine and Brady Oliveira; linebackers Micah Awe and Adam Bighill and defensive backs Nick Hallett and Mike Jones.

As well, players who had previously asked for their release after the cancellation of the CFL season to pursue NFL opportunities are also pending free agents, but not free to sign with other clubs until the opening of the market in February.

That group of Bombers includes WR Kenny Lawler, WR/KR Janarion Grant, DL Thiadric Hansen and DB Mercy Maston.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers' 2021 potential free agent list
By John Hodge -December 4, 2020

The defending Grey Cup champions have a number of major contributors currently slated to reach free agency in February 2021.

Reigning Grey Cup Most Valuable Player and Most Valuable Canadian Andrew Harris is the biggest name on the list. The star running back will be 34 by the time next season rolls around but he has yet to show signs of slowing down.

Rasheed Bailey and Kenny Lawler are a strong pair of up-and-coming American receivers, while Canadian Nic Demski became a multi-faceted playmaker in Paul LaPolice's offence.

Five starting-calibre offensive linemen are set to become free agents, including all-star tackles Stanley Bryant and Jermarcus Hardrick. On the opposite side of the trenches, Jackson Jeffcoat and Jake Thomas need to be re-signed if the club hopes to keep them in the starting lineup.

The starting secondary is featured heavily on the list as well with halfback/safety Brandon Alexander, cornerback Josh Johnson, strong-side linebacker Mercy Maston, and halfback Nick Taylor are all pending free agents.

Many of Winnipeg's excellent special teamers are set to become free agents with names like Justin Medlock, Chad Rempel, Janarion Grant, Lucky Whitehead, Mike Miller, and Jesse Briggs.

Thanks man for posting.

Reported yesterday on TSN, that on average each CFL teams paid out about a half million in bonus money last season. Also that most players making over $200K, will probably asked to take a little shave this year. The reported believed that most of the players will be resigned before FA.

[Blue In BC]

2021 signing bonus's could be hard to hand out this free agency. On one hand we may see some requests for salary cuts and /or SMS reduction. On another hand we have no carry over of the previous SMS.

The advance payment to reduce tax burden while reducing contract amount is a bit risky ( if an injury occurs ) to that player.

CFL is coming out of year of financial loss from bonus payouts and needing to retain coaching staff on salary.

How precarious those situations are for each team we don't know.

Many of the American CFL players could get the vaccine long before Canadian CFL players do.

WR Kenny Lawler, WR/KR Janarion Grant, DL Thiadric Hansen and DB Mercy Maston are able to sign with other CFL teams starting Feb 9th.

Good chance we see most of this group re-signed. Since there is no XFL until 2022 their options are limited.

Haven't seen any of Lawler, Grant of Maston getting any new NFL chances? Would like all of them back as well as Hansen.

[Leroy Brown]

Would love to see Michael O'Conner get a shot as a #2 or 3 in Winnipeg.

Prior to MBT opting out it did not appear he was a high priority for the Argos. He needs to play soon. Could be a short yardage guy.

I like O'Connor as well as a developmental project. I would sign him as a 3rd stringer but only if we have a rock solid number 2 QB signed. I love me a healthy Collaros, but with his injury history we better have a QB that's CFL ready to play behind him.

[Leroy Brown]

We'll see what they do for short yardage. O'Connor is 6'4"

Chris Merchant is another National QB along the same lines. 6'2". Believe he was trying to play in Europe recently.
