If you thought CFL free agency began on February 10, think again.<\/p>\n

The league\u2019s free agency communication window, also known as the legal tampering window, opened on Sunday, February 1, and nobody wasted any time making decisions.<\/p>\n

Even though teams have until Sunday, February 8, at 12:00 p.m. EST to speak to pending free agents, and no deals can become legally binding until Tuesday, February 10, 28 players agreed to terms on contracts with new teams. That included 22 of 3DownNation\u2018s top 50 available players entering the day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All nine franchises took different approaches to opening day. The Ottawa Redblacks turned over much of their roster, striking deals with nine players. The Edmonton Elks and Winnipeg Blue Bombers weren\u2019t far behind, each making a series of key additions. Other teams opted to stand on early signings, like the B.C. Lions, who did not have a single contract reported.<\/p>\n

As we move forward into Day 2 of the window, here is a look at what every team accomplished \u2014 who they had signed entering the day, who they added, and who they lost.<\/p>\n

Please note that \u201cN\u201d denotes National players (ie. Canadians), \u201cA\u201d denotes American players, and \u201cG\u201d denotes Global players.<\/p>\n
