From what I understand all teams will have to follow this rule next season, I guess that may have played into the Bombers decision not to retain 4 QB's.
Interesting. Next year we have to add a 2nd Global player to the AR. I'm not sure if 1 or both will remain as SMS exempt. Regardless, salary is still an operating expense against profitability. Eliminating a QB from the AR does a few things.
1. The AR would remain at 45 players.
2. Eliminating a salary that WAS counted against the SMS ( QB ) creates some money to offset the increase to the ELC in 2020.
Not really in favor of any of this. If we're going to need to roster 2 Global player in 2020 then they need to bring more to TC than 4 only. Since those players were all drafted I would think they are non counters in any case.
Long term developing QB's with only 2 on the AR may or may not be an issue. One season after changing the ratio rule to include Canadian QB's? Now they have to make the roster as a no worse than a # 2 QB?
That's not going to help their cause.
