Fantuz's signing tops free agency

Winnipeg Blue Bombers general manager Joe Mack has had a busy off-season.

The Blue Bombers led the CFL with 16 pending free agents who were set to hit the open market on Feb. 16 at 12:01 a.m. ET.

Mack has been successful in re-signing eight players, including quarterback Buck Pierce, although one key blocker in front of him -- offensive linemen Brendon LaBatte -- remains unsigned.

Over in the west, the B.C. Lions have five players from their Grey Cup winning roster due for new contracts. The Edmonton Eskimos have the fewest in the league with only one player, linebacker Mark Restelli, who is still unsigned. Eskimos general manager Eric Tillman secured seven players to new contracts.
