Unanswered questions in the CFL as of right now. (CFL)

1) Streveler/Nichols. Just where are these two quarterbacks going to end up, and when? Matt Nichols has been linked to the Ottawa RedBlacks, now that former Bombers OC Paul LaPolice is the head coach in Ottawa. LaPolice has stated that he wants to take a run at Nichols, who started the 2019 season strong only to be knocked out of the latter part (as well as the playoffs and Grey Cup) by injury.

Chris Streveler is expected to return to the Bombers in 2020, but has also been recently linked to NFL teams that are interested in the durable QB as well. This could be a huge question mark for the Blue Bombers going forward, and they should re-sign Streveler quickly.

2) Montreal is a mess. When are the Alouettes going to finally find a new owner? Several ownership groups have come and gone in the Alouette sweepstakes, with the CFL maintaining control over the franchise for the time being. Something needs to give soon, as this is a team that could use new owners (and a GM as well) in place before training camp starts, so as to maintain some sort of consistency on and off the field.

3) Milanovich strikes back. Will new Eskimos HC Scott Milanovich be able to turn the Esks around in a short period of time? This all hinges on whoever he might bring in to round out his staff, and whether or not he believes that QB Trevor Harris is right man to lead the team going forward. There will be much work to do in the new season, and all eyes will be on Milanovich.

4) Argos. Will Toronto be any good in 2020 with new head coach Ryan  Dinwiddie at the helm? It was a big surprise when Dinwiddie was hired the same day the Argos fired Corey Chamblin, a week or so after going on record to say they would keep him for another season. New Argos GM Mike Clemons is looking to make a statement in 2020, and it seems swapping out the head coach was the fastest way to do that.

Dinwiddie was the architect for consistent quarterbacking in Calgary, tutoring both Bo Levi Mitchell, as well as Nick Tate. It has yet to be seen whether or not he can accomplish the same feats with the Argos' core of young QB's, and whether or not that roster changes any before the start of training camp in the new year.
