No Shortage of Agreements in Principle with CFL Negotiation Window Opening

CFL teams made binding offers to pending free agents during the negotiation window before official free agency begins Feb. 10, securing key players like Greg Bell and Tommy Nield.

  • On Sunday, the CFL negotiation window opened at noon ET, letting teams submit binding, non-retractable offers to pending free agents before free agency starts Feb. 10.
  • Edmonton pre-emptively restructured Garnes's rookie contract and extended him through 2027 with $200,000 in hard money, a league source said.
  • Several clubs moved quickly, with Winnipeg agreeing multi-year deals with Nield and Broxton, and Edmonton signing Malik Carney to a $270,000 deal, while Saskatchewan extended Ouellette for one year.
  • The window's short timeline means the negotiation window closes next Sunday, after which current teams have limited time to speak with pending free agents, and players who decline offers become free agents.
  • Eberhart's league-leading averages underscore why interest in him remains high, especially with NFL departures like Damien Alford signing with the New Orleans Saints.
