CFL Free Agency Summary - Day 1

Once the unofficially "wait to announce deals already agreed to so its not blatant we tampered" period ended, the free agent action was very busy on day 1. Below is a summary of all the day 1 signings (as well as length and salary where I was able find info) just to get you caught up in case you missed everything.

I will have full analysis on Friday as I expect Day 2 of free agency to be extremely busy. Big names like Aaron Grymes, Justin Capicciotti, Emmanuel Davis, JC Sherritt, Otha Foster, Cleyon Laing, Chad Owens, Jeff Fuller, Rennie Curran, Weldon Brown, Keon Raymond, Cord Parks, Bryan Hall and Tristan Okpalaugo still on the market.
