NATIONALS
1. Eddie Steele, SSK
Age: 30
Key stats: 16 tackles & four sacks
Notes: Consistent player who still has some gas in the tank.
2. Daryl Waud, OTT
Age: 25
Key stats: Two tackles
Notes: Youth and size will get Waud a contract, but he hasn’t produced much since his rookie season in 2015.
3. Maxx Forde, B.C.
Age: 27
Key stats: Two tackles
Notes: A trade to Ottawa was blocked following a failed physical this past season. Injuries are a concern.
4. Faith Ekakitie, FA
Age: 25
Key stats: None
Notes: Missed the entire 2018 season due to a torn Achilles. Released by Montreal last week, the former first overall pick has become a monumental bust.
5. Don Oramasionwu, OTT
Age: 32
Key stats: None
Notes: Ten-year pro who was a late-season depth addition in Ottawa.
INTERNATIONALS
1. Drake Nevis, WPG
Age: 29
Key stats: 26 tackles & two sacks
Notes: Powerful 300-pounder who often commands a double-team.
2. Dylan Wynn, TOR

Key stats: 30 tackles & two sacks
Notes: Young, athletic, tenacious, and physical. An underrated player.
3. Mic’hael Brooks, SSK

4. Ken Bishop, TOR
