Quarterback Mike Reilly, one of the biggest prizes on the free-agent market, will sign with the BC Lions on a four-year, $700,000 per season deal when free agency opens Tuesday according to TSN's Ryan Rishaug.
Reilly, who spent the past six seasons with the Edmonton Eskimos, is returning to BC, where he started his career as a backup. The 34-year-old came to an agreement with the Lions after the Eskimos allowed him to speak with other teams ahead of free agency.
Reilly is TSN’s second-ranked free agent quarterback, behind only Calgary Stampeders QB Bo Levi Mitchell, after leading the league in passing yards (5,562) and finishing second in passing touchdowns (30) last season. Reilly added another 595 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground last season.
The Central Washington product led the Eskimos to a Grey Cup victory in 2015 and was named the league’s Most Outstanding Player in 2017.
In 103 regular-season games in the CFL, Reilly has 27,625 passing yards and 148 touchdowns to 84 interceptions.
The signing reunites Reilly with Lions GM Ed Hervey, who was in charge of the Eskimos in 2013 when Edmonton traded for Reilly’s rights.
