Injuries

[Tecno]

When you get injured right at season end, do you get royally shafted financially?  You won't keep collecting your normal IR game cheque, and the team can easily not re-sign you in the off-season (or cut you if you're under contract).  So what do you get financially as you can't walk for the next 9 months?

Does WFC do a token re-signing to keep him getting paid into next season?  If no bonus and on the 6GIR it wouldn't hurt our SMS.

I believe injured players receive on-going health benefits until the injury is healed, but I don't think they "get paid".  If they have insurance, sure, but what football player can get LTD insurance?

What benefit do the Bombers receive for paying a player that will never play again?

Yes, it's the surgeons fault. Has nothing to do with the rehab process, or the medical staff that allowed them back on the field. Or, even the fact that Strev removed his brace to get more mobility.

If Strev has another year left on his contract he'll likely receive his full pay on the 6 game next season until the time he can be evaluated as healthy to play once again.  At that time the Bombers can decide if they will keep him or cut him.

He is on a 1 year deal accourding to our unofficial roster info.

That leads into CFLPA and CBA territory, probably covers his medical expenses until healed, but that's all.  At one time I think the CFLPA was trying to reach an agreement with the Fed Govt. for workers compensation coverage, but couldn't convince them they were a worthwhile risk.

Boy, it would sure be nice if each player's CFL.ca page showed their contract expiration date!  The data is all there with the CFL (I think?).  And if only the teams have that info, they could easily add it to their roster page.

Every other post we're asking "if he's on a 2 year"...

Streveler signed a one year deal. He's a free agent come February

Nothing would make me happier than for one of the Bomber's O-lineman to "accidentally" put an end to Miles Brown's career. Very unfair that a lowlife like that keeps playing while Chris's career is likely over due to a dirty hit.

Yes, that's one big difference between Strev & Schoen's injuries: Strev's was catastrophic due to outside force.  Schoen was just bad luck internally.

Let's not forget though that Masoli returned from double knee blowups.  So Strev can too.  Not sure how he could be a "running QB" ever again, though.

Some league transparency would drive way more attention than the 55 yard line.

[RebusRankin]

I'd like to see contract length and term info available like in other leagues.

Was it a dirty hit?  The injury looked to me to be non contact, after a hard plant he pushed off and dropped to the turf..

The original hit that caused the injury prior to his surgery was IMO dirty. Yes, the reinjury was noncontact.

I think @bunker is referring to Streveler's injury last season in the Banjo Bowl where Brown's dirtbag antics were the cause.
