CFL Free Agency starts today - Stamps should go after Aaron Hunt.
The CFL free agency period gets underway on Wednesday at Noon et and there are plenty of big names set to hit the market.
The biggest prize in this year's free agent class is Canadian receiver Andy Fantuz.
Fantuz had a dissapointing 2011 spending half the season trying to make it in the NFL before returning to the Roughriders only to be hobbled by an ankle sprain.
At 28, the Chatham Ont. native is still in his prime and just one year removed from leading the CFL with 1,380 yards receiving yards on 87 catches.
Fantuz isn't the only big name out there either as this year's free agent pool is especially deep.
Elsewhere on the Canadian side of things, there are several prominent big men available - including Bombers DT Donny Oramasionwu and guard Brendon LaBatte who is coming off an All-Star season in Winnipeg.
Argonauts centre Dominic Picard is also set to test the free agent waters after the Boatmen signed former Roughrider Marc Parenteau on Monday.
On the defensive side of the ball, Swaggerville safety Ian Logan is on the market as well.
Calgary punter Burke Dales is also available.
Looking to the imports, there are also plenty of big names on the block.
At cornerback, a pair of former All-Stars - Montreal's Mark Estelle and Toronto's Byron Parker - are set to become free agents.
So is kicker Justin Medlock in Hamilton, along with defensive tackle Aaron Hunt from the Grey Cup winning B.C. Lions.
At receiver, Winnipeg's Greg Carr leads the import class, but there's also an abundance of veteran running back talent available after Joffrey Reynolds, Avon Cobourne and Wes Cates were all set loose.
With all of the big names out there, it should make for an interesting day on Wednesday.
