The nine teams of the Canadian Football League have until midnight on Sunday to pare their rosters down to 65 players (not including injured list players or draft picks).
The Calgary Stampeders released receiver Jabari Arthur, who appeared in 71 regular season games with the team since 2008. He had 96 catches and six touchdowns for the Stampeders last season.
"A very tough decision," Stampeders head coach and general manager John Hufnagel said of Arthur. "I won't be surprised if Jabari shows up on another football team or maybe with us later on if we get in (injury) trouble."
The B.C. Lions released quarterback Travis Partridge, who served as third-string pivot last season. Defensive back Torri Williams started in the secondary or played extensively last year.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers said they will make their cuts on Sunday night but will not announce them until Monday.
