Most of the names below are a top priority for their club to bring back, and as any true CFL fan knows, most of them, importantly, WANT to be back where they spent last season.<\/p>\n
However, there is always an outside chance a move to new surroundings could improve a role, fit, situation, or general happiness meaning these names are high and mighty in the Canadian free agency pool.<\/p>\n
SEAN THOMAS ERLINGTON | RUNNING BACK<\/p>\n
Sean Thomas Erlington\u2019s through and Alouettes make it a 5 point game!<\/p>\n
\ud83d\uddd3\ufe0f: Argonauts vs. @MTLAlouettes<\/a> LIVE NOW \u2014 CFL (@CFL) July 18, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n I\u2019ve been a fan of Sean Thomas Erlington<\/a> for over a decade now since he beat my McMaster team in the 2014 Vanier Cup.<\/p>\n He runs as hard today as he did back then and, when healthy, has given both Hamilton and Montreal a stellar option in the backfield who has a true three-facet game worthy of high praise.<\/p>\n I\u2019d like to see him come back to Montreal and pick up where he left off before injuries struck in 2025, but anything is possible.<\/p>\n DAVID UNGERER III | RECEIVER<\/p>\n TOUCHDOWN ARGOS!<\/p>\n David Ungerer III punches it in for the major!#CFLGameday<\/a> \u2014 CFL (@CFL) October 4, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n A relentlessly competitive pass-catcher who works his backside off blocking for teammates, David Ungerer III has really hit his stride since making the jump from Hamilton to Toronto in free agency.<\/p>\n The question now becomes where will his tenacity and work ethic be most financially appreciated?<\/p>\n BRANDON REVENBERG | OFFENSIVE LINEMAN Brandon Revenberg was the East Division\u2019s nominee for Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman in 2025 (Brett Holmes\/CFL.ca)<\/p>\n Brandon Revenberg<\/a> is the best at what he does and \u201cRev\u201d ain\u2019t going nowhere because Hamilton knows that and will make sure he is properly compensated to be a Tiger-Cats legend for life.<\/p>\n My bigger question is when the voters will finally give him the respect he\u2019s been due for years as the CFL\u2019s top offensive lineman.<\/p>\n BRADY OLIVEIRA | RUNNING BACK\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Speaking of the best, Brady Oliveira<\/a> is at an intriguing point in his CFL career as he weighs the balance of home with the offence currently employed in Winnipeg, what playing elsewhere would look like and what he wants his legacy to be.<\/p>\n Wherever he lands, we all know the impact he makes snap-to-snap as the game\u2019s best Canadian back.<\/p>\n MARC-ANTOINE DEQUOY | DEFENSIVE BACK<\/p>\n Marc-Antoine Dequoy swoops in for the blocked punt, sticks with it and scores the TD! \ud83d\ude2e\u200d\ud83d\udca8@WestJet<\/a> Thanksgiving Weekend \u2014 CFL (@CFL) October 13, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n How are there this many superstars up for grabs?!<\/p>\n Marc-Antoine Dequoy<\/a> is on the shortlist of my favourite players to watch live each season, and it\u2019s hard to ever imagine him wearing anything other than Montreal red, white and blue.<\/p>\n The fantasy football scenario of placing him on other rosters is endlessly entertaining, but don\u2019t bet on it.<\/p>\n NIC DEMSKI | RECEIVER\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n See \u2018Brady Oliveira\u2019 above.<\/p>\n The difference here being Nic Demski<\/a>\u2019s veteran savvy and multiple uses could completely open any team\u2019s playbook. Can you imagine him in BC with Rourke or what Bo Levi Mitchell<\/a> could do with Demski?!<\/p>\n SAMUEL EMILUS | RECEIVER<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Season after season, Samuel Emilus<\/a> is gaining more and more respect from people across the CFL, the defences who face him weekly, and the man writing this article.<\/p>\n He\u2019s been a great piece in the Saskatchewan offence, but what would it look like elsewhere? In the question of fit and system, I could see him taking a raise to join a Western foe like Edmonton or Calgary to upgrade their consistency at the all-important Canadian pass-catcher position.<\/p>\n BEN HLADIK | LINEBACKER<\/p>\n THAT\u2019S A SAFETY!<\/p>\n Canadian Ben Hladik loops around and gets to Cody Fajardo!#CFLGameDay<\/a> \u2014 CFL (@CFL) October 18, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n
