^ Bombers must be right off the charts? ;)
The Stamps could have a thing of beauty if they toned down the busy-ness of it all and went back to red and white with a dash of silver. Black could even work if they toned it down. I think the Argos have a great, very simple and traditional look. Sask can't go to dark green because that's Edmonton's colour. |
As soon as I saw that you'd posted last I realized I'd forgotten the Bombers. I'll slot them in.
With uniforms, simple is usually better. Regarding colours, there are lots of teams that share a colour. Hamilton, BC, and Ottawa all use black. Calgary, Montreal, and Ottawa all have red. In both these cases the shade is practically the same. The yellow and white would differentiate between Edmonton and Saskatchewan as would design elements and helmet. One sees lots of this in NCAA and USports too. That said, I suspect the Schooners will use blue if they become the 10th team. There's enough blue already. |
I do like the Montreal scarf.

Happy CFL free agency day!
Rumours are flying that the two most high profile QBs on the list, Bo Levi Mitchell and Mike Reilly, will be going to Toronto and BC respectively for $2+ million, 3 year deals. (I guess it's more than rumours at this point... just about every CFL source out there is claiming these signings will happen) |
I look forward to the Riders signing some more depth cornerbacks and maybe a lineman.
I hate Toronto. Just slightly more than I hate BC. :haha: |
Wouldn't be the first high profile qb to leave Calgary for Toronto. Not sure Bo Levi Mitchell is on the same level as Doug Flutie but probably the closest thing to it. If it does come to fruition the Argos would have a bona fide star to market around and maybe that gets a few more butts in the seats.

Basically if you're a MOP CFL quarterback, chances are you're going to spend at least some of the downslope of your career in Toronto. They barely paid any attention to Flutie during his time as an Argo, and he went directly from there to becoming a NFL starter who made it to the pro bowl the very next season, so he was still at the top of his game. If they didn't notice that, I'm not sure what difference having BLM will make. Might as well have just kept Drew Willy and saved some money! |

Oh well, shiny baubles and all that! |
Reilly to BC. William Powell to Saskatchewan.
So we'll solve the QB problem by hoping to run the ball with an aging RB. Sigh. RBs are cheap and younger ones are always available. Smart move by Ottawa as Powell is 30 years old now. Hoping he doesn't fall off like many backs do in the twilight, but not a really brilliant move. |
Harris to Edmonton
That's most of the major pieces assuming BLM is resigning with Calgary when he comes back. |
BC is really loading up on talent. They should be pretty ferocious this year... I'm sorry to see the Bombers lose Sukh Chungh to the Lions, that's a big hole in the OL.
I don't get how the cap math adds up for BC, but that's a question for another day. So where does BLM land? If the twitterverse is to be believed, Sask is in the running along with Toronto and Calgary. |

Ottawa is going to look very different this season |

Justin Dunk 3downnation February 12, 2019 The Calgary Stampeders have agreed to terms on re-signing quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell, per sources. It was a three-team competition for Mitchell between the Stamps, Toronto Argonauts and Saskatchewan Roughriders. Calgary bumped their offer up Monday night while the Argos and Riders presented Mitchell with a large offers after free agency kicked off. Ultimately, Mitchell chose to stay in the established winning environment with head coach Dave Dickenson and general manager John Hufnagel. Mitchell capped yet another stellar season in 2018 by leading the Stampeders to a CFL championship. The 28-year-old became the first player in league history to throw for more than 5,000 yards without having a single receiver record 1,000 yards. Despite an ever-changing receiving core, Mitchell adapted on the fly and still led the CFL in touchdown passes with 35. NFL teams were buzzing with interest in December as Mitchell worked out for seven NFL teams and even more wanted to bring him into their facilities. But the guaranteed money wasn’t where it needed to be for Mitchell to feel as though he had a legitimate shot to compete for a backup or starting job. Mitchell is the face of the franchise in Calgary having won two Grey Cups, two CFL title game MVP awards and two CFL MOP trophies on his resume. He originally signed with Calgary in 2012, spent that season as the third-string quarterback. Mitchell started his first CFL game in 2013 and earned the full-time number one quarterback role in 2014. Calgary is where Mitchell developed into a star and the Stampeders keep the franchise quarterback in Cowtown for the prime years of his career and build a long lasting legacy. |
At this point, it looks like the west is going to own the 2019 season.

Some speculation that BLM's total income could have been 1 million in Sask, 700k salary and the rest in endorsements, etc. I can't think that an astute guy like Ottawa GM Marcel Desjardins could lose that much talent without something in reserve. Ellingson and particularly Powell on the back nine? They used to say that was Wally Buono's greatest talent, getting rid of a guy at the exact right time for the highest value. |
I guess there's no point in paying for a CFL jersey with a name on it, you'll get two years worth max.

Saskatchewan had a few seasons where whomever we put in the back field was gold, but that was because of the o-line and a QB that could control the ball and wear the defense down. |

What did you get BC? We got a Reilly. What did you get Edmonton? We got a Harris. What did you get Calgary? We got a Mitchell. What did you get Saskatchewan? We got a rock:( |
