CFL (Non-Bombers) off-season news

[Jesse]

I'm shocked that anyone is surprised by this. Increased salary cap + marketing money = increased salary.

The stars will get the lions share.

Kenny and Geno hit 300k under the old cap. Hatcher could have gotten more in FA.

$315K for a receiver is insane.

Brady is going to demand $300k, just watch.


$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.
