However, two, maybe three could be headed elsewhere.Ĭanadian safety Antoine Pruneau is likely the top priority because many teams would love to have him to help the ratio.
#2017 FREE AGENT BMX FOR FREE#
Seven starters from the Grey Cup team are up for free agency on the defensive side and they’re all going to be priorities to re-sign. The REDBLACKS’ defensive secondary could look a lot different next year as the thing is, when you win the Grey Cup, everyone’s resume looks that much better and the prices start going up.
Defence – John Boyett, Jerrell Gavins, Forrest Hightower, Moton Hopkins, Tristan Jackson, Abdul Kanneh, Cleyon Laing*, Ettore Lattanzio*, Mike Moore, Antoine Pruneau*, Taylor Reed, Jeff Richards, Nigel Romick*, Nicholas Taylor, Dan West*, Mitchell White, Aston Whiteside There is a lot less room than there was when he paid up to get those receivers and they may all ask for raises. Of course, this all depends on what his salary structure is. The rest on the offensive side is going to involve a lot of tough, monetary decisions.įrom receiver to running back, Marcel Desjardins is likely going to say goodbye to at least one of his 1,000-yard receivers up for free agency (Ernest Jackson, Chris Williams, Greg Ellingson) as well as a running back he’s had to rely on to pick up some valuable yards. The only thing going for the Ottawa REDBLACKS in free agency is the fact they have some of the offensive lineman and their quarterbacks locked in, though Nolan McMillan and J’Michael Deane should be big priorities. OTTAWA REDBLACKSĮrnest Jackson is one of three free agent receivers Ottawa might have a hard time keeping (CFL.ca) Offence – J’Michael Deane*, Greg Ellingson, Ernest Jackson, Kienan LaFrance*, Scott MacDonell*, Nolan McMillan*, Andrew Marshall*, Danny O’Brien, Khalil Paden, William Powell, Jamill Smith, Travon Van, Chris Williams Oh and to make matters worse, you need to make a decision on a kicker. Their special teams tackles leader, their interceptions leader - all pending free agents.Īdd to that they have several impact Canadian players pending free agency, this is going to be an off-season of very difficult decisions where long-time members of the team have to go to fit younger players like Winston Venable into the salary structure.
Seven of their top 10 players in sacks are pending free agents. Five of the Alouettes’ top 10 tacklers are on the pending free agent list. That would be my advice seeing the long list of defenders up for free agency. Blanc*, Nicolas Boulay*, Marc-Olivier Brouillette*, Alan-Michael Cash, Dequin Evans, Jeffrey Finley*, Kyries Hebert, Tyree Hollins, Jovon Johnson, Jesse Joseph*, Michael Klassen*, Gabriel Knapton, Aaron Lavarias, Billy Parker, Ray Ordick, Daryl Townsend*, Winston Venable There aren’t many ‘got to have’ free agents on the list but Brandon Rutley has been a valuable depth member of the team out of the backfield with Tyrell Sutton injured.ĭoes Nik Lewis have more left? I sure hope so because he continues to get better with age. Their five strong Canadian offensive linemen allow so much flexibility and allows the defence to have a big impact. Whoever the new General Manager is in Montreal, Luc Brodeur-Jordain should be the number one priority on offence. Nik Lewis, one of the Als’ free agents, continues to produce despite his age (Johany Jutras/CFL.ca) Offence – Brandon Rutley, Ryan White*, Nik Lewis, Marcus Henry, Kyle Graves*, Luc Brodeur-Jordain*, Martin Bedard*
