INDEPTH: 2006 CFL PREVIEW CFL season set to kick off CBC Sports Online | Last updated June 15, 2006

It's been one of the CFL's more tumultuous off-seasons, with the (only partially) surprising departure of the Ottawa Renegades, the fallout from the dispersal draft, Tom Wright's tribulations, and the controversial signing of suspended NFLer Ricky Williams.

With the help of the CFL on CBC panel, we examine all the major off-season moves, highlight the key players to keep an eye on, analyze the stories that will shape the upcoming season, and answer the major questions on every fan's mind.
