CFL free-agency period set to begin Tuesday
According to CFL sources last week, the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ GM reached agreements in principle with quarterback Trevor Harris and receiver Jake Wieneke during the CFL’s free-agent negotiating window.
Any proposals made – including base salary and incentives – had to be registered with the league and CFL Players’ Association and would be considered binding. “I think what’s better is it’s a more open process,” O’Day said. “You can openly talk to the player, you can openly have your position coach call the player, the head coach can call the player and you don’t feel like you’re doing anything wrong.”
“I guess the reality is we’ve got a lot of starting positions going into free agency that have to be filled,” O’Day said. “If that’s what you want to call active, I’d say, yes, we’re going to be active … we’ve got positions we’ve got to fill with starters.” Many other pending free agents signed extensions with their clubs, including defensive lineman Lorenzo Mauldin IV , receiver Kurleigh Gittens Jr. and running back Andrew Harris , quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell , offensive linemen Stanley Bryant and Derek Dennis and Canadian linebacker Cam Judge .
