CFL free agent frenzy! (CFL)

Damn, that didn't take long at all. One day into CFL free agency, and all hell has broken loose, with some major moves across the league. I'm going to try to go over as many of these story lines as I can right now. From the looks of it, several teams are looking to beef up their rosters immediately, in preparation for training camp.

Mike Reilly! Well, I'm starting with the biggest signing so far, which is Mike Reilly heading back to the BC Lions. Just a few days ago, Reilly was given permission by the Eskimos to start talking to others teams. I personally called this, saying a week ago to my friends that he'd go to BC first and foremost, with the second likely destination being Calgary IF they hadn't re-signed Mitchell. One hell of a good pick up by the Lions right out of the gate.

Trevor Harris goes west. This one actually surprised me, as I really thought that Harris would either stay in Ottawa, or sign with the Toronto Argonauts. Edmonton might end up being a good fit for Harris, providing they get him some additional targets. It's interesting that Ellingson went with him to the Eskimos, and gives said team a boost right away.

Jennings to the RedBlacks. This one was makes sense, as a short time earlier, the RedBlacks lost their starting QB Trevor Harris to the Eskimos. Problem is, Jennings is a very inconsistent QB that can have amazing games, and crap games with equal frequency. I have never been fully sold on Jennings, but hope he can be turned into a legit starting QB in the CFL. Hopefully, Ottawa has a plan.

Lemon goes in for another squeeze. Shawn Lemon is back with the Argos, after bouncing around the league last year. Not a big deal, but still something positive for the Argos, who also need a proper starting QB, and an O-line, and..... well, you get the picture. Here's hoping the Argos do something rather than nothing in free agency, before it's too late.

Winnipeg. Helloooooo? Anyone home in Bomber land? Why haven't we done anything of consequence? Are we forgetting that it's been 28 years since our last Grey Cup? I would have preferred Mike Reilly, but that train has left the station.....
