With the Free Agency window opening in the next few days, which teams are in the best position to cruise through the offseason into a strong 2020, and which have a lot of work to do to ensure success for next season?
One of the biggest Free Agents of the 2020 offseason just got taken off the market when Zach Collaros signed a two-year contract extension with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. This is a big move for the team that won the 2019 Grey Cup, and will give them a lot of stability after losing several key... Continue Reading →
With the CFL Global Combines well underway, the plan of league commissioner Randy Ambrosie for a "global football league" seems to be coming together. I'm in two minds about CFL 2.0, and here I'll discuss both sides of the coin to clear my head about this subject (and perhaps offer some clarity to those who are - like me - also sitting on the fence over this one).
Big changes are coming for the Ottawa Redblacks as they release ten players, including QBs Jonathan Jennings and Will Arndt and RB Mossis Madu. New Head Coach Paul LaPolice obviously has a plan for this offseason, but what is it, and why are they make as many big changes as these? It seems that big changes are happening in the nation's capital, all preparing for a completely new team.
We all love the off-season - a rest period with lots of exciting player transactions, roster revamps, and coaching changes. On the subject of coaching though, could the CFL be getting to much of a good thing with four new head coaches going into 2020?

But the Ticats have a tough... Continue Reading →
The year was 2019, and these were the numbers that defined it. Here's why they were so important, and why teams should to try (or avoid) to carry them over into next season.
There's an expectation that looms over the head of any Grey Cup-winning team - that they'll continue their success into the next season. But for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, this might not be so easy, and they could even see a fall from glory akin to that of the 2019 Redblacks following their Grey Cup appearance.
Every team in the league has a little (or big) something that needs replacing or improving, so for this post we look at one ideal Free Agency pick for each time that would take them to the next level in 2020.
Injuries come as a consequence of playing any contact sport, and it's not uncommon for a player of a rough game like Canadian Football to have to sit out a match from injury. But what if that player was your starting quarterback? And what if it happened throughout the league? The CFL is no stranger... Continue Reading →
