Sudden Impact: A team-by-team look at Free Agency

GoElks.com

TORONTO — There’s never a dull moment on the opening day of free agency, and when the clock struck 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, CFL teams promptly got to work on making moves to re-tool their respective rosters ahead of the 2022 season.

Greg Ellingson headed down to Winnipeg, Ed Gainey swapped to a new shade of green and Andrew Harris is now a member of the Double Blue. Plus, Ja’Gared Davis is also an Argonaut while Kenny Lawler is an Edmonton Elk.

With a handful of big names on the move this off-season already, let’s take a look at what each team has done to open the free agency window:
