Mr Dee Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 You know I was reading that they were thinking about moving the date past the 15th of Feb. because it fell on the weekend, but moving it that much forward is quite the surprise. I'm sure the GMs will be ready but it may cause a bit of rearranging of preferences. I would also say that Mr. Burris is now officially on the clock.

JuranBoldenRules Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Only in the CFL. I'm surprised they didn't declare all players free agents, or decide to have a fantasy draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 I can save the CFL a lot of trouble by telling them right now what day Feb 15 falls on next year. But it will cost them. sweep the leg, Noeller and Captain Blue 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 BREAKING: The #CFL and the players association agree to start free agent period earlier than noon. Lunch schedules were comprised and both sides have now agreed to begin as soon as breakfast is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 That means we can talk to O/L Myddelton a little bit earlier if need be and not wait 'til the middle of the Olympics. (as if that would detract from Free Agency) *Myddelton's agent says they will look around. - Vancouver Province Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueandgold Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 That means we get news on whats going to happen sooner. But the real question is, why was this necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Perfect Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 That means we get news on whats going to happen sooner. But the real question is, why was this necessary? Because free agency was slated to start on a Saturday when league offices are closed and most media outlets are running reduced schedules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Really, this is no biggie. Makes sense to do it on the 11th. Maybe instead of picking a specified date they should just make it the second Monday in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
