Teams that appear to be most improved are Edmonton and Hamilton
Teams that appear to be hit the hardest are Toronto and Winnipeg.
All in all a good day for the Als that the two main rivals lost a lot of talent.
Transactions ( + et -) par équipe, après la première journée du 11/02, pour la signature des agents libres, sur le site de la CFL.
I’d say Ottawa is in the list of most improved too. They made some good signings.
Ils ont également 6 nouveaux entraîneurs dont un nouveau coordonnateur défensif et un nouveau coordonnateur des unités spéciales, l’équipe a pris les moyens: nouveaux entraîneurs, nouveaux joueurs, pour passer d’une équipe .500 en 2024 avec une fiche 9-8-1à une équipe pour viser le 1 ou 2 rang, en 2025.
Geno Lewis is not Kelly Lawler, Jake Ceresna or Tyler Ford. They added players but not at the level Edmonton and Hamilton did. I agree Ottawa should be a good team again this year. Should be a fun division.

Son évaluation des Alouettes B.
I think it is impossible to assign a grade without knowing what a team spent.
Nous connaîtrons éventuellement les salaires 2025 ce qui est réaliste ou surpayé.
Foucault made the Pro Football Focus (PFF) Honour Roll in weeks 16 and 19 of 2024
The man can still turn the corner and seal off the edge very well. Huge upgrade to the run game…
I don’t know you could put a grade to what teams did in free agency. For the most part it’s a quick way to plug holes with talent.
Montreal didn’t have a ton of holes to plug though where Ottawa, Hamilton, Edmonton, and others did.
Une nouvelle équipe pour Enock Makonzo, après Edmonton, Hamilton, maintenant Winnipeg.
Bonne chance à ce joueur natif de Montréal, qui a été repêché par Edmonton suite à leur échange pour le premier choix au repêchage de 2022 avec Montréal qui avait choisi Tyrell Richards.
Pour 2025, 3 joueurs de ligne canadiens sur la ligne offensive de Saskatchewan….???
That “newly found” $400,000 salary cap increase has become quite controversial. What in fact will teams be doing with it? Is it something that still needs to be decided between the league and PA? It is still a CFL mystery, particularly since teams did not use it to increase free agent offers.
La CFL a un besoin urgent d’un nouveau commissaire, présentement la ligue est comme un avion sur le pilote automatique….
Des discussions à venir entre l’Association et la direction de la ligue pour une optimisation des règles pour les équipes et pour les joueurs.
Penny pinching ??? The team has been over the cap the last two years will likely be again when its announced. You can’t have two receivers making 300k plus a season and the most or second most expensive quarterback in the league.
Exactly. They hung on to a lot of veteran talent - to the point that when guys got hurt they were scrambling for replacements at times, and put an injured QB into the GC to throw the game away. (Which still puzzles the heck out of me when they had the best RB in the league and time to run the ball…)
Yep. They’re spending too much on QB for what they’re getting: a broken-down Collaros at the tail end of his career and a running back pretending to be a quarterback.
I think 2.0 is the one who threw the grenade under the BOG table. A parting gift to make sure the players got their share, because the owners who hide their books from the CFLPA would have never disclosed their revenues and kept the cool half million each. Not that he did it for the right reasons but it will benefit the players who are owed that money. since it is a profit sharing arrangement it should be split evenly across all players of the league. Not used on quarterbacks or a couple big contracts.
Totally agree on Collaros getting too much money for what he is delivering. They made a comeback last season in the fall because their defence without Bighill really started to roll. But D&P, what do you mean about their RB? That he thinks he should be paid like one?
No, I was talking about Streveler!
Edit: Oliveira is a great running back and worth his money.
