Unfortunately the CFL won't sign anyone until they are released b/c they don't want to get involved in a lawsuit.
What jurisdiction would there be?
The AAF is entirely in the US and the CFL is entirely in Canada.

The Alliance of American Football officially has pulled the plug on the league, for good.
The AAF announced that a bankruptcy petition was filed today in federal court in Texas.
‘The AAF is committed to ensuring that our bankruptcy proceeds in an efficient and orderly manner. Pursuant to the bankruptcy laws, a trustee will be empowered to resolve all matters related to the AAF’s remaining assets and liabilities, including ongoing matters related to player contracts.”
That last part is a reference to the reported refusal of the AAF to release the players for potential employment in the CFL, even though all players were released for NFL opportunities. Apparently, the bankruptcy trustee will try to sell those contracts to the CFL before cutting the players loose.

Also, congrats to teke184 for correctly guessing what the AAF was going to attempt with it's players who don't get NFL calls. (AAF contracts had built in outs for the NFL but not the CFL, XFL, Arena and other indoor leagues, or other international leagues like the German Football League).
