Over 3,000 stuffed animals were tossed onto the ice.
Mike Reilly, Bo Levi Mitchell and Trevor Harris knew what they were doing.
Players are the best handicappers. Better than anyone, they know which teams have the best chance of winning a Grey Cup. Reilly, Mitchell and Harris looked over the CFL landscape and decided, respectively, that B.C., Calgary and Edmonton have the best chance of being league champions. That’s why the CFL’s top quarterbacks, all of whom became free agents on Tuesday and are represented by the same agent, signed the same day with the top teams.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders were reportedly among the quarterbacks’ suitors, but all the Riders did was drive up the salary Calgary paid Mitchell. The Roughriders were a legitimate contender during the past two seasons, but they’re now an entirely new team. When field boss Chris Jones deserted the Roughriders for an NFL job late during this offseason, he left the team scrambling to fill numerous holes, most notably at quarterback. New general manager Jeremy O’Day didn’t get one of the big three because his squad is not currently among the CFL’s top three teams.
