A lot of guys on this list that I'd love to see in double blue.

I posted this in the Preparing for 2016 thread but might be better in this one.

The official FA list is out. Here is ours along with my list of priorities for re-signing:

ADJEI, Natey*
AGNEW, Vincent
ALIX, Anthony*
CUMMINGS, Euclid yes
FOLEY, Ricky*
GABRIEL, Jermaine* yes
GILLANDERS, Brendan* yes
GREEN, Isaiah
GREENWOOD, Cory* yes
HARRIS, Trevor yes
Jones, GREGORY yes
KEEPING, Jeff
KING, Jarriel
LAING, Cleyon* yes
MILES, Thomas* yes
MITCHELL, Scott*
OKPALAUGO, Tristan yes
OWENS, Chad
PALARDY, Justin*
RAY, Ricky yes
ROBINSON, Zander* yes
SMITH, Wayne*
STALA, Dave*
STEELE, Curtis
UNDERWOOD, Brandon
VEGA, Jason
WATERS, Swayze yes
WHITAKER, Brandon yes

Some of these guys are going to have multiple options so I hope Kilmer/Bell are willing to give JB a fatter wallet. Interesting that Kackert is not a FA.

I'd rather not bring back Waters if we can find a suitable replacement.

[R.J]

I'd rather not bring back Waters if we can find a suitable replacement.

Agreed. IMO the most overrated player in the CFL.

[Wobbler]

I think we need to bring Keeping back. Having the option to play Van Roten at C is nice, but I don't think that should be plan A.

[ArgoGabe22]

It'll be interesting how many players actually hit the market. I'm not sure how much Owens, Foley and Keeping have left but I think all 3 can return but at a discount. I'm not sure other teams will even offer anything more than the Argos, if the Argos are even interested in retaining these 3.

[R.J]

Cory Watson signed an extension with the Eskimos.

[gilthethrill]

Would love to see JR Turner follow Stubler to Toronto....along with Freddie Bishop....

[paulwoods13]

I'd rather not bring back Waters if we can find a suitable replacement.

That's a very big if.

[AngeloV]

That's a very big if.

Actually it's not. I have never seen a kicker get injured so often.

[Argo57]

I'd rather not bring back Waters if we can find a suitable replacement.

Agreed, durability too much of an issue.

keep hearing from agents @Wpg_BlueBombers expected to spend big money on #FA16 @CFL GM Kyle Walters working to give Mike O'Shea talent boost

Is Josh Bourke going to make it to @cfl free agency? Still unsigned by @MTLAlouettes with a week to go. He'd be a huge fish on #FA16 day

.@rickzamperin - "Unless he's (Andy Fantuz) willing to take a significant paycut, #Ticats may go in diff. direction." #CFL via @AM900CHML

[AngeloV]

Looks like Erik Harris has signed on with the Saints.

[R.J]

Good player, but I'm actually surprised he's going to the NFL. Training camp fodder ?

[AngeloV]

Good player, but I'm actually surprised he's going to the NFL. Training camp fodder ?

Maybe he can make a name for himself on ST's.

[OV Argo]

Good player, but I'm actually surprised he's going to the NFL. Training camp fodder ?

Ex- CFL linebacker Brian Peters led the NFL in special teams tackles this season; he was a pretty good but nothing that spectacular player in the CFL IMO.

All sorts of CFL players could make the NFL if they get on the right team in need at the right time.

Ben D’Aguilar re-signs in Calgary.
