It's a CFL issue. The players will just stop coming. The ones we want, at least. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players they want havent been coming for years tho. This isnt new. Its the CFL... Its always been an issue. If certain players wont come then i guess good luck to them trying to get to the NFL.

Football life is so short and they want the chance to make real money if they can. The commish needs to balance the needs of the CFL with the realities of where it fits in against the NFL. The commish also needs to look at how the XFL, if it actually gets off the ground, may affect recruiting to the CFL. It's sort of hard to figure out the impact of vapor.

Yeah, I think a player should be able to go to the NFL if he gets the opportunity and his CFL team simply retains his rights for the option year. That seems like a win-win to me, and probably the only solution going forward. I can't see minimum salaries going up in some significant way any time soon.

Booch Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Didn't want Sherrit so not a big deal Dean was always the prime pick I think...and just coming into his own..A unity with Dean and JSK and Leggitt with Wild rotating in would make good sense to me and allow us to be a lot more aggressive on defense and dithch the role the MLB played lately...

Booch Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Still young and relatively unproven but has the skill and potential. I guess depends on where we are wanting to go with the ratio and also...do we have an adequate back-up who could step in if he goes down without messing with ratio...or leaving us weak Best bet is to land the stud import..and have guys on roster we could shuffle and move if he got hurt..I would have no problem with JSK sliding into the middle and Wild filling his spot..as opposed to a lesser talented back-up canadian role player having to step in. Hopefully where our ratio is headed that maybe by next year we are going 4 nationals on the oline and basically only needing Loffler as the National on defense...

Comfortable with Neufeld/Couture? My gut says keep Bond - sign Demski and Lafrance - I know thats not the plan though... 2 OL, RB, 2 REC, S, DE/DT rotation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
