The Canadian Football League put in place the building blocks for teams building their rosters for the 2021 season.
A moratorium on the re-signing of players by teams will be lifted, effective Monday, December 7 at noon ET. The league’s free agency period – during which teams can sign any player whose CFL contract has expired – will open Tuesday, February 9 at noon ET, which is two days after the Super Bowl.
“We are moving to provide our clubs with the guidelines and information they need to build competitive rosters,” commissioner Randy Ambrosie said.
“We are taking every step to be prepared to return to the field next year.”
There are 321 players who could be free when the market opens. Here is the full list of CFL players who become free agents as of February 9:
