Each CFL team has a list of up to 35 players that they have exclusive negotiating rights to. The CFL teams all work together on the list. Exactly how it works, I'm not totally sure but I believe the worse your record the better chance you have of getting the guy you want. Kind of like the NFL waiver wire.

Anyhow, CFL teams often use it to secure exclusive negotiating rights to borderline NFL prospects or players that they believe might be on the outs. Such as last summer when the Argonauts secure exclusive negotiating rights to Titans' backup QB and apparent bust Vince Young, Winnipeg Blue Bombers have Tavaris Jackson, Montreal Alouettes Tim Tebow.
