NFL has the best format. It's actual football. I don't get how Canadians dislike it. Are people bellyaching that the losing team in a sudden death hockey OT didn't get another shot on goal to try to score? Pretty similar. Two teams on the field playing ball. Stop them from scoring a TD and your offence gets a shot to.

They did the opposite and lost because they didn't run out the clock and make sure they controlled the ball.

Atlanta had a half to score that TD. Really like the format.

Would be nice if the league or TSN made a real clean free agent list that was sorted by position and nationality. League only has the list by team which is really clumsy to navigate.

Man he's ancient. I feel old and he's even older than me. I'm not sure he has much left in the tank.

That's a pretty large conspiracy considering they have independent auditors who abide by a professional code completely separate from any dealings they have with the CFL.

What info? You realize the salaries/compensation are calculated against the limit at the end of year? It's not a daily calculation like the NHL. A team could have signed contracts today that put them on pace to be 2x the limit and it doesn't matter.

I'm not advocating that at all. There's a handful of guys among a group of really good players who are really chasing the NFL or have legit NFL interest. That has to factor into decision making when deciding who to pick. As a for instance, based on what I've seen I wouldn't single Senior out of the top group of OL as being more dominant, but he has pedigree and a legit NFL shot. In the CFL it's very likely Grey is a better player when all is said and done.

I'd rather Gray and a receiver out of our first two picks. Herdman really thinks he's gonna make the NFL. We need players out of those picks, not guys to wait on. Gray is an engineer too, so might not be into football for the long haul.

Cole can't handle the snaps he got last year. When we dressed 7 DL our D was noticeably better, especially the pass rush. For that matter Westerman could use some time on the sideline too. Ran those guys ragged.

More to do with Shologan's level of play than anything. Lots of replacement options.

Maybe Edmonton is ready to move on from Reilly for 2018. He's showing pretty significant signs of wear.

Google "Duron Carter" and read for 5 or 10 minutes. It went south for him the second he left junior high.

That contract tells you Glenn is the starter. No reason to hand him a large bonus and base salary to mentor.

Basically a luxury tax. If a NHL team isn't compliant for a day they lose picks and the league makes the move to get them compliant for them. The CFL "cap" isn't tallied until the season is over, not every day or even every week during the season. It's a moving target.

Here's the reality. Everyone has cap space based on how it's calculated. And it's not a "cap." Literally nothing like the NHL or NFL.

Carter is the toxic kind of stupid. Like the type that reasonable teammates won't put up with. If he was on an actual team he'd have to fall in line or he'd be gone fast. The Als of the past half decade and current Riders are total dumpster fires so he's a good fit.

Stafford is not much more than TCF too. He's gotta earn a spot. He didn't get a deal that precludes being cut fairly easily.

Kickoffs yes...on punts McDuffie was more of a danger to the Bombers and cost a ton of field position with struggles to come up and catch the ball in the air. Think it's hard to find him a real role and spot on the field offensively too. Would rather have an import back so Harris doesn't get exhausted over 18 games.

Ottawa Redblacks.

Wonder if Hodge has a source on Glenn's demands or the Riders having interest in him or just talking out of ass. Hate blogs that present things like that as facts.

Missed my point. Trade value is his rights, not for him signed to play in 2017. If he had a (reasonable) contract for 2017 obviously he'd have more trade value.

Durant is a month away from being a free agent. They dealt a 4th round pick just to talk to him.

They don't owe Glenn anything against the cap. They don't save anything. He's a free agent in a month regardless so how does that affect their 2017 QB budget? Glenn's release is more an indication that the role he wants isn't likely to materialize for him here and a goodwill gesture.

Releasing Glenn has nothing to do with the cap or Nichols.
