TORONTO — Would a CFL free agent dream team win the Grey Cup?
At this point, the answer might be yes as Jamie Nye puts things into perspective with his All-FA team. Nye put together his 46-man roster and depth chart that includes the required seven national starters and 21 nationals in all.
The CFL’s list of pending 2017 free agents was released on Thursday, signalling the official start of the off-season.
While last year’s crop of free agents came highly-touted, this year’s might just take the cake.
Here’s Nye’s team:
