The B.C. Lions had a disappointing year in 2021, missing the playoffs for the second consecutive season with a 5-9 record.
The club has several top-tier players set to become free agents, including breakout star receiver and return specialist Lucky Whitehead. Quarterback Michael Reilly remains under contract for 2022, though his age (37 in January) and paygrade have cast some doubt on his future with the team.
