Contracts without a big signing bonus = little commitment from the team. I'd be surprised of more than a handful actually end up on NFL rosters next season.
That said, CFL teams can't sit around and wait for guys to get cut during the summer and early fall -- they still have rosters to fill once the regular season begins. It will be a season of transition to be sure...
