3rd Down Nation just published the 20 top DB salaries, interesting Bombers highest paid DB is Alexander at $101K, 17th on the list. Walters has done an excellent job of providing Richie with plenty of high quality candidates at a low cost.

We're talking salaries of DB's, not performance.

There are 54 starting DBs (45 if you don't count SAM, but you should because there are so many 5 receiver sets). He shouldn't be paid in the top 20 this year and he didn't perform in the top 20 last year.

Not every player is paid exactly what he's worth one way or the other. B. Alexander is listed as # 17 for example. Many Bomber players took favourable team discounts. Again, the report is based on what they are paid and not on a " best of " list. That's very subjective. CB, DHB, safeties and ratio all impact that. I'd say Nichols is a top 20 DHB and he's not listed in the list. You're being too hard on him IMO.

I'm just shocked how little $$ DBs get paid! Holy smokes those are bad salaries when some of those players are all-stars, superstars and mega-gamechangers. If Alford were to come back, how much would he be worth?
But I guess it's supply and demand. There are a zillion IMP DBs coming out of college every year. Too much supply.
Has a CFL DB ever gotten anywhere close to 200k? Funny how the top DL can earn waaaay more. If I was a kid starting football on the D side, I'd make sure I was playing the big-$ positions, like DE or MLB.
DBs are the Rodney Dangerfield of football.

Does it look like Hamilton is out to try to buy a grey cup seeing as they are hosting? When you see the number of high priced free agents they have signed I can't see how they are under the cap. especially when you consider that when your building you team from free agency you are paying a premium The list includes Bo Levi @510k Figuero @200k Sayles @200k Butler @ 130k Williams @ 177k Thurman @ 155k Boetang @150k Davis 165K

Just saying...it takes more than big salaries, star player status and individual all stars to build a Grey Cup winner. Davis 165K

Was he signed and then retired? Or went un-signed and then retired? Strange timing. Ackie was a good player, very tough and hard-nosed and playing on the edge. He's the one who put the headshot sack on Nichols in the MTL Miracle Game that helped us win. Without that extra 15 we might not have had enough time for the yards.
