REGINA – The CFL released its list of potential free agents for 2016. The 2016 free agency period will officially open Tuesday, February 9th.
Here is a list of the 29 Riders players set to be free agents if they do not re-sign with the club:
Levy Adcock – Dylan Ainsworth – Anthony Allen
Rob Bagg – Tyron Brackenridge – Weldon Brown
Xavier Fulton – Chris Getzlaf – Marshay Green
Seydou Haidara – Alex Hall – Hugo Lopez
Terrell Maze – Paul McCallum – Scott McHenry
Junior Mertile – Spencer Moore – Keith Price
Kevin Regimbald-Gagne – Jamel Richardson – Cameron Sheffield
Ryan Smith – Don Unamba – Derek Walker
Corey Watman – Ryan Wellman – Dan West
Markus White – Paul Woldu
Derek’s Top 5:
1) Ryan Smith
Just 24 years old and already has shown tremendous big play ability and realiability in making the big catch. Smith had 6 catches of 40+ yards this season while leading the Green & White with 991 Receiving Yards.
2) Rob Bagg
Just turned 30 but continues to produce. The Queen’s product has put up back to back 500+ Yard/50+ Catch seasons for the first time in his career, the bulk of that without Darian Durant. Bagg’s leadership & work ethic cannot be overlooked.
3) Weldon Brown
While injured for most of 2015 Brown did put up an average of 50 tackles in his first 2 years with the Green & White. The 28 year old is able to shift around and play both Linebacker and DB making him a key piece of a Defence that was more than lacking without him in 2015.
4) Xavier Fulton
Starting left tackle…Nuff said. After a shaky 2014 the 29 year old seems to have righted himself and locks down that left side with all-star Brendon LaBatte next to him.
5) Terrell Maze
The Riders were awful on D in 2015. Getting a healthy Maze back in the secondary could help right that ship….The caveat is healthy. Head injuries are delicate and unpredictable.
