The Winnipeg Blue Bombers saw their season come to an end on Saturday following a 33-23 loss to the Montreal Alouettes in the East Final.

The team’s most high-profile pending free agent is franchise quarterback Zach Collaros, who remains undecided about his future. Veteran offensive lineman Stanley Bryant and Patrick Neufeld are both mulling retirement, while defensive lineman Willie Jefferson indicated he wants to continue playing whether it’s in Winnipeg or not.

Free agency won’t officially get underway until February, but for now, these are the players currently set to hit the open market. This list is unofficial, and was compiled using anonymous 3DownNation sourcing.

Here is the full list of Argonauts whose contracts will expire in February. Please note that “N” denotes nationals (ie. Canadians), “A” denotes Americans, and “G” denotes Globals.
