$240k for an interior O-lineman is also insane, which is what the Als offered Pier-Olivier Lestage. Time to trend away from 3 Natl's on the O-line and find big young Imports to do the job at half the cost, contingent on finding skilled Natl's to play other positions of course.
You start to understand why the CFL BOG would be happy to do away with the ratio, bottom line it messes up their concept of having an abundant supply of cheap replaceable labour that would significantly lower their operating costs.
Quote from: bomb squad on December 03, 2025, 08:48:05 PMWhat we do know is that the missed field goal return will be virtually eliminated. One of, if not the, most exciting aspects of the CFL game. That's a lot of ground (no pun intended) to make up. The proposed changes are huge. If this all goes through, this will be the most significant period of time we have seen in the CFL in a long time, if not ever. However... I do not think it's make or break. I'm nervous about it for sure. But I would be lying if I said wasn't intrigued about seeing it play out.

Quote from: Pete on December 03, 2025, 09:00:45 PMbe interesting to see if there are more details, ie money hid behind marketing money similar to what they did with Roarke. Some teams are gonna have sms money from ly due to the extra 400k that wasn't budgeted in, The cflpa should have been making more noise about this to ensure that it isn't just given to the elite players. The smart teams would have set some of this aside just for this purpose, I wouldn't be surprised if mtrl did this and hence the 100k signing bonus given to Philpot.
Quote from: jets4life on November 27, 2025, 05:17:11 AMIf what you are saying was true, the AHL Moose would have sold out every game they played considering the price was a fraction of the Jets.
Believe it or not, the quality of the league matters a lot. How many people would go to games if the Jets left, and we replaced them with an ECHL team?
