I'm pretty sure it was reported Gurley had already signed for next season if he didn't get a NFL deal.

Premier DT outside of QB sacks would include: gap excellent, doesn't cheat, disciplined in playing the system, runstop master, constantly double teamed opening up other lanes, great at stunts, great fitness, leader in pass knock downs, forces/recovers fumbles, can play any where on the line, has mastered many DT moves, difficult to block, coachable, team first attitude, great community member etc

Yeah I know but is that Jabar

Isn't he trying out for NFL?  I thought that was the plan.

Really disappointed that Denmark seems to be the odd man out again, great workhorse receiver

Yeah it blows my mind.  Really had a knack for finding the end zone this season too.  I hope he gets paid somewhere if not here.

man given his performance through most of the season i cant see an nfl team looking at him and seeing more the TCF. He should come back to the cfl on a 1 year deal and play his brains out.

Yeah im gonna be really sad if denmark isnt brought back for camp agian this year.

McDuffie is 'that guy' who can fill in at receiver or back that every team needs, just have to use him properly.

All 3 linebackers, Wild, Bass & Legget are WIL type backers. None can shed blocks to play the middle or are fast enough to pass cover. I'd keep Wild to play WIL and bring in heavy competition at the other 2 spots.

what? did you see Leggett play at all last year?...

I bolded the attributes that really describe Doug Brown... not that he couldn't the other stuff... they just didn't stand out as much...

and Doug Brown was a freak...maybe the best CFL DT ever...

You can't force chemistry and Nichols and Denmark seemed to have a lot of it.

in the modern era I dont think any one else comes close. One of the best DLmen ever too. Few rush ends had that kind of impact on the game. 

reinbold offically takes over the cats D now. Good for him, i hope he does well when ever the cats arent playing the bombers.

Bullsh*t, I was forced to take 2 levels of it in College, and I hated that ****.

 

I find this easier to read than the CFL's FA page.

I think some guys shouldnt be on the list since they either resigned with their respective clubs or signed future contracts in NFL.

But yeah its still a big list.

Aston Whiteside or Drake Nevis would go along way to improving the D-line, lot's of options so there should be some affordable pickups.

if we dont land Jabar westerman I'd like to see Donny O come home

LaFrance, MacMillan and Ernest Jackson please.

Man he's ancient.  I feel old and he's even older than me.  I'm not sure he has much left in the tank.

Cut him some slack.  It's wouldn't be the off season without the obligatory "I want Donnie O back" post.  Now that that's out of the way, it's on to free agency and the draft!

Has a tendency to take too many costly penalties

Thanks, updated.  Couldn't find any info on White though so he's still on the list.

His wiki still has him with the redblacks, however the redblacks don't have him listed on their roster. Don't remember any teams signing him though, and I'm sure that would be big news on the ol twits
