The CFL on Tuesday revealed its list of potential free agents, and the group of 136 included nine all-stars from the 2014 season.

The good news for the teams who currently employ those all-stars is they have two months to re-sign them -- and anyone else -- before they become free agents on Feb. 10. In fact, one player, Montreal running back Tyrell Sutton, put his name on a three-year contract Tuesday just after the free agent list was announced.

The bad news is the potential free agents also have the right to try out for NFL teams, and several of them have already started that process. We'll leave Alouettes receiver Duron Carter out of the discussion because it's basically a certainty he'll be in the NFL next season.

It's early and there's a chance none of these players will be available two months from now, but here are the top 10 potential free agents:

1. Brett Jones, Calgary

The Stampeders centre was named the CFL's most outstanding offensive lineman two weeks ago and voted the all-star centre last week. If that wasn't enough, he also helped the Stampeders win the Grey Cup. He's Canadian, too. If he doesn't go to the NFL, every CFL squad will be after him, but don't expect the Stamps to let him get away.

2. Ben Heenan, Saskatchewan

The Roughriders right tackle has three traits that will result in loads of cash flowing into his bank account: he's Canadian, he's an offensive lineman and, more specifically, he's a tackle. The former No. 1 overall pick could get an NFL shot like Jones, but he will be a coveted player if he stays north of the border and rebuffs Saskatchewan's offers to see how much he could get on the open market.

3. Brandon Banks, Hamilton

The former Washington Redskins returner could not have better timing. He returned two punts for touchdowns in the East final and then would have won the Grey Cup with a 90-yard punt return major were it not for a penalty. The all-star returner is the fastest player in the CFL, and every team would love to have him.

4. S.J. Green, Montreal

The import slotback will be 30 years old next season, but the guy can still flat out catch the football. He had three seasons with at least 1,100 yards between 2011 and 2013, and still managed 835 this year without a bonafide quarterback. He proved his worth with three touchdown grabs in the East final.

5. Delvin Breaux, Hamilton

Duron Carter called Breaux the top cornerback this season due to his physicality and cover skills. He managed just one interception during the season as a result, but when he got tested in the playoffs he picked off two passes. There's a good chance the 25-year-old ends up in the NFL after nearly dying on the football field in high school.

6. Weston Dressler, Saskatchewan

The pint-sized slotback from North Dakota returned to the Roughriders halfway through the season, just in time for his partner in crime, quarterback Darian Durant, to suffer a season-ending elbow injury. Despite being invisible over the last three months, Dressler is still one of the league's elite pass catchers.

7. Jason Arakgi, B.C.

The Lions special teamer has a penchant for taking too many penalties, but he's a stud Canadian special teamer who makes plenty of tackles. He may not be a household name, but he's a valuable commodity in the three-down loop.

8. Tyler Holmes, Toronto

The thinking is the Argos guard will be headed home to Ottawa to suit up for his hometown RedBlacks next season, but money talks. He's not an elite O-lineman like Jones or Heenan, but Canadian offensive lineman get paid in free agency.

9. Stanley Bryant, Calgary

CFL teams are using more American offensive lineman these days, so players of Bryant's ilk cannot be overlooked. He was the all-star left tackle on the league's best offensive line in 2014, and he's in the prime of his career.

10. Don Oramasionwu, Edmonton

Canadian starters on defence are a rare commodity, and Oramasionwu is one of the few in this year's potential free agent class who fit the bill (Winnipeg cornerback Matt Bucknor and B.C. safety J.R. LaRose are others). Teams might be scared away after Oramasionwu suffered a ruptured left patella tendon in this year's season opener, but they'll probably be willing to take a chance on the Winnipeg product.

AROUND THE LEAGUE

Riders head coach Corey Chamblin met the Regina media Tuesday and confirmed Richie Hall is out as defensive co-ordinator, although he will be offered another position on the coaching staff. Chamblin might handle the defensive co-ordinator duties himself next season, but Mike Sinclair and Mike Benevides are possibilities as well ... Chamblin said Paul LaPolice and Jacques Chapdelaine are two of five candidates for the vacant offensive co-ordinator position, which he hopes to fill by next week. He also mentioned Stampeders receivers coach Pete Costanza ... The Bombers this week extended the contracts of left guard Chris Greaves and safety Moe Leggett ... Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reported Alouettes receiver Duron Carter will have a pro day in January for any interested NFL teams. At least 15 squads are expected to take a peek ... The Alouettes re-signed Canadian defensive tackle Michael Klassen Friday. He was slated to become a free agent in February ... League executives, general managers and team presidents are meeting Wednesday and Thursday in Las Vegas to discuss the state of the three-down game.
