CFL draft is for Canadians only. For Americans l, each team gets a negotiation list of 50 players who could be in college or the NFL. The players can be added or dropped at any point as long as they aren’t on another teams list. If a player wants to come to the CFL and they are on a list the team must offer them a contract within two weeks or they are released. These lists are generally kept quiet from the public. If Americans aren’t on a list they can be signed as Free Agents.
