Sarah Mills: Archie Wilson shows courage in vulnerability
A young Nebraska football player, Australian Archie Wilson, broke down in tears when asked about being so far from home....
The CFL’s new negotiating window has closed ahead of Tuesday’s big day.
And I’m willing to call it a resounding success.
Not for yielding a bunch of accepted offers but for generating some noise. Usually the week heading into free agency is rumour and speculation.
This year, we’ve seen the Willie Jefferson tour. He was spotted courtside at a Raptors game as the Argonauts and MLSE try to impress him. The Tiger-Cats jerseys were hung in the locker room with Jefferson’s name on them, as his daughter stood on the logo in the middle of the room.
We have other big names speaking to teams here and there, and they can. It’s no longer a dirty little secret, but the tampering is now allowed a week out of the free agent window.
The CFL needs more instances where they are making some waves in the off-season and keeping the league and it’s stars in the headlines.
This new negotiating window has done just that.
Now we get to have a running start into what is set to be a crazy free agent Tuesday.
