For some teams, the CFL Offseason is here. Rather than lose all the coaching movement discussions to the Regular season thread, I thought we could start putting it here.

Those teams currently lost in the wilderness:

Ottawa

Toronto

BC

Montreal

Calgary

Edmonton

Saskatchewan

Hamilton

The champs are here.. the champs are here... Winnipeg*

 

*Grey Cup Champions

Als lose Stanback.

I hate to say this and maybe it says alot about Masoli and his injury but why would he not at least wait until FA time and hear what Ottawa has to offer? He would be guaranteed to start and any QB worth anything has to be the No.1,if you want to be a backup might as well retire in my books...

Travis Lulay basically did this exact same thing

That’s a bit of a surprise - I wonder what the advantage is for him

He gets a two-year deal in the NFL? I would say that's pretty good. RBs go down, so he might even get on the active roster. 

 

Yep...back to work

True but he had a lot more injuries in his career that affected him i believe but good comparison.

Lulay's body was broken down. I don't think he could have played anymore even if he wanted to.

Well, he clearly wanted to as he kept playing.

I'm talking about his retirement. His body was finished as a player.

We were talking about him re-signing in 2016 after losing his job to Jennings.

I never thought Jennings was that good even when he was putting up big numbers passing. He was always making bad decisions & throws that cost the Lions games in the win column.  Once his production fell off the mistakes kept happening & he was exposed as the lousy qb that he always was. Jennings doesn't come across  being the sharpest knife in the drawer. Yet, he'll probably still find a place to play. His athleticism will cause some OC to think he can resurrect his career off the scrap heap which won't happen.

Was last off season this bad for players getting contracts in the NFL?  Seems a ton of teams good players are getting them down south...

Yes, it has been this way for a couple years now since the NFL expanded their PR size and eligibility.

With the exception that Michael Bishop was a much better thrower. Same 2 cent brain tho.

Arbuckle to Ottawa.

https://3downnation.com/2020/01/03/redblacks-acquire-qb-nick-arbuckle-in-trade-with-stampeders/

By my count that means, we get one of Nichols or Collaros back.

Potentially both if Streveler signs in the NFL.  Im not convinced if I'm Toronto that i would prefer Matt Nichols as my starter over MBT.

Interesting. I thought for sure Arbuckle would be heading to TO. I really hope Walters is speaking with Collaros to try and get him signed now. He is at the very least healthy enough to start day 1. Nichols is not (as of now). And if we lose out on Collaros we could really be in a bind.

Curious if they hedge their bets by also targeting a vet QB in FA (Nichols, etc...) 'cause I'm not sure I'd be ready to hitch my wagon 100% to Arbuckle just yet...

This is just full on crazy talk...

Don't know why people are down on MBT.  He put up great numbers and is clearly a more gifted passer than Matt Nichols is as this stage of his career. Nichols can't stay healthy.

Hmmm.....Huffer is going all-in on Mitchell and may live to regret it.  And Ottawa paid surprisingly little in exchange.
