The first day of CFL free agency will soon reach a close. There were 46 signings — by our count, anyway — the bulk of which were made by the B.C. Lions, Edmonton Elks, and Ottawa Redblacks as they look to bounce back after missing the playoffs in 2021.
Below we’ve made a list of each team’s additions (ie. players in) and subtractions (ie. players out). There are still a number of talented players available, so check back to 3DownNation tomorrow as teams add (and lose) players on day two of free agency.
A handful of the signings listed below were technically finalized on Monday but we’ve listed them below for the sake of clarity. Here is your one-stop shop to see who your favourite team signed and lost on day one of free agency.
‘A’ denotes American and ‘N’ denotes National (ie. Canadian).
