Hearing Ottawa has agreed in principle to two-year deal with American receiver Ayden Eberhardt. It's worth $285k in hard money with max value of $299k. Eberhardt had 45 catches for 863 yards and four TDs last year with BC. His 19.2-yard avg per catch was second-highest in CFL.


BREAKING: I'm hearing the Bombers have agreed to terms on a two-year deal with all-star OL Jarell Broxton. Considered the best free agent on the market, Broxton surrendered just 15 pressures last season playing LT in B.C.





Since winning the Grey Cup in 2011, the BC Lions have failed to reach the big dance, going 0-5 in the West Final and 4-10 overall in the postseason. The team has retained a lot of its talent, but there are still some big names that remain without a contract and questions around the roster. Here's my preview of the Lions two days out from the communication window opening #CFL #BCLions tsn.ca/cfl/article/fr…


#BCLions have signed OT Dejon Allen to a 1 year extension. He went through medical testing over the past 24 hours. The former @cfl most outstanding linemen missed most of last season with a torn bicep






The sheer number and quality of CFL free agents boggles the mind every year. As of Friday, there's an average of 28 per team. The #Bombers have 34. Here are some they should keep: winnipegsun.com/sports/friesen…
