SMH And no, it doesn't surprise me. I think it's good they finally have a drug policy but disagree on how it's being implemented. Funny how nuance works. Eyes wide open, teams should still be able to draft Simonise but he shouldn't be able to play until a four game suspension has been served. EDIT: I'm not sure how a four game NFL suspension equates to an 18-game plus playoffs in the CFL?

I had no clue what his suspension was for personally xD 21 minutes ago, Noeller said: Big extension for a big man....curious if long contracts become "a thing" now... no kidding. I wonder if its a true 4 year or 3 plus an option or some thing. Do they have recurring team options? Short of a top 10 player in the league including all none qb positions or a qb i cant see giving that term in the cfl. Too much changes too fast and the shelf life of football players is scary short.

TBURGESS Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Length of a contract when the player can be cut at any time doesn't mean that much. If his play goes down, you cut him. If his play remains stable you keep him. If he gets better, you extend him with more money. Tracker, Rich and Bigblue204 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why the player would even want that. The teams would sign guys for 10 years. Doesn't matter to them they can get out from under that whenever, the players can't and have no security either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedFlex27 Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Stubler should have stayed in Calgary. What a bad career move. Leave Calgary for Toronto. Stubler bounces around more than a basketball. Word was Dickenson wanted him to stay on staff & was caught off guard when he left. Now a year later he's unemployed as teams have their staffs in place. He has to be in his late 60's now so maybe it's the end of the coaching line for him.

JCon Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Has it been reported here that Steele signed with the Riders? Too bad. I would have liked to see him here. I can only hope the Riders have overpaid for him. Edited March 7, 2017 by JCon Fred C Dobbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred C Dobbs Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Really would have liked to have Steele in Blue and Gold. He's always wanted to play for the Bombers but I guess we don't have the cap space. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBURGESS Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I don't think it's a cap space issue as much as it's a 'We've already spent as much as budgeted on the DL'. Having 2 first round picks will cost a bunch too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "cap space" thing is kind of a joke anyway because how it's done in the CFL everyone pretty much has the same amount until a game is played and then it gets interesting, unless a bunch of money has been deferred from the past seasons which is mostly a Taman and Jim Popp philosophy.
