Since no one has started a thread on free agent signings by other teams on the eve of free agency I have started one.

The Elks have signed six year veteran Canadian LB Adam Konar who started with Edmonton but has been with BC Lions the last two years. However, he has not come anywhere near his 2017 year when he made 59 DTs.

BC Lions have signed Canadian kicker Sean Whyte, who started with BC, away from the Elks, thereby upgrading their kicking greatly.

Chris Jones has added another player who has played for him in the past American LB Tobi Antigha, who was in Winnipeg last year.

Canadian DL and three time Most Outstanding Canadian Tiger Cat Ted Laurent has re-signed with Hamilton.

Ottawa has re-signed American DL Davon Coleman.

The BC Lions have confirmed thatLuchiez Purifoy is back with the team after four years in Ottawa and Saskatchewan.

Chris Jones has gone big once again in confirming Kenny Lawler with his $300,000 salary and last year's only 1,000 yard receiver. However, according to reports there is no bonus money, so if things go sideways, they could cut him early.

The Riders have confirmed that they have signed American LB Darnell Sankey, who led the league as a rookie with 97 DTs, away from Calgary.

The Redblacks won't be recognizable as a team compared to last year with all their free agent signings. But that is a good thing.
The Redblacks have added Canadians DL Kwaku Boateng and and DB Ty Cranston, as well as American DL Lorenzo Maudlin IV.

Ottawa has brought back RB William Powell, one of the best RBs in the league, but his career 5.7 yards/rush dropped to 4.0 yards/rush as time catches up with the 34 year old.
https://www.ottawaredblacks.com/2022...rns-redblacks/
Ottawa has also added former Argo WR Darvin Adams and Canadian WR Shaq Johnson, who was the third leading Canadian WR in yardage from 2017 to 2019, although he had a down year in 2021. I expect a comeback year from the 28 year old. Adams, at 32, is on the downside of his career having failed to break 1,000 yards the last two years, but he adds veteran presence to the receiving corps.

Once again Chris Jones is bringing in players he has already had on other teams with the signing of National DL Makana Henry, increasing the team's Canadian talent.

BC continues to stalk up with players in part because they have saved a lot of money by signing two cheap Canadian QBs.
https://www.bclions.com/2022/02/08/l...vin-breaux-sr/#BCLions have agreed to terms with CB Delvin Breaux & also DT Woody Baron. @CFLonTSN

Former Argo QB Michael O'Connor has signed with BC.
https://www.bclions.com/2022/02/08/417722/
The Als have also added Canadian WR Hergy Mayala and re-signed Canadian LB Frederic Chagnon, thereby strengthening their Canadian depth, as well as American Michael Wakefield, on the opening day of free agency

3downnation says only five of its top 20 free agents remain unsigned: QB Trevor Harris (#5 ranked); DB Brandon Alexander (#7); QB Chris Streveler (#8); Sergio Castillo (#15); and Ricky Collins (#17).
https://3downnation.com/2022/02/08/2...e-agency-live/
Speaking of Trevor Harris, there is speculation that he might wait until the season when a team loses its first stringer, as inevitably happens to quite a few teams, to sign with a team that needs a starter fast, if no one as seems likely is ready to offer a #1 starter job.
Hamilton has re-signed DB Richard Leonard.
https://ticats.ca/article/tiger-cats...e-back-leonard
The Redblacks also re-signed WR RJ Harris, and added several Canadian free agents: former Argo Levi Noel, who I will miss; RB Jackson Bennett from Hamilton; OL Hunter Steward from BC; and OL Darius Ciraco from Hamilton; as well as American OL Ucambre Williams.
