bb1 Posted November 13, 2018 Report Posted November 13, 2018 I don't see Lulay retiring based on that last game. Too much pride to go out that way imo.
rebusrankin Posted November 13, 2018 Report Posted November 13, 2018 We have arguably the best QB situation going into next year.

No matter who they get in the offseason they will have the best qb situation going and perhaps can trade their backup or even 3rd stringer for a couple Canadian starters. blue_gold_84, Wanna-B-Fanboy and SPuDS 3
Jpan85 Posted November 13, 2018 Report Posted November 13, 2018 Chris Jones said today they had to terminate 6 football operations staff and everyone else took a 10% pay cut to get under new cap.

Does that include Jones himself or did he just make everyone else take a cut?

Already giving Pipkin , among others, as QB of the future for a test drive. Pipkin. Seriously. Brandon 1

Brandon Posted November 13, 2018 Report Posted November 13, 2018 A new era of QB's for the CFL to come, I'm ok with that. It would be nice for other teams to have to suffer like we did by putting many different QB's on the field until they find one that sticks. rebusrankin 1
Zontar Posted November 13, 2018 Report Posted November 13, 2018 CFL haters in the media, who ignore league all year long, will be all over labour troubles , Toronto attendance and AAFL stuff.. ..Draining talent base, why should we watch watered down football ? , League is huge trouble etc. They'll emerge during GC week.

But remember, 10% of a salary of say 500k is a little easier to absorb than a hit of 10% to someone making 50k. Now if he had taken a 20% cut so staff at the lower end could avoid a hit, that would indeed be something.
Bubba Zanetti Posted November 13, 2018 Report Posted November 13, 2018 Tweet from Arash Madani: "Some concerned Riders employees, being told of paycuts and bonuses removed, want to meet with President Craig Reynolds. It's days like today that leadership is integral in an organization. So far, staff have been told that Reynolds is "unavailable" to meet with them today." Oh boy. House of cards is falling. rebusrankin and Noeller 2

HardCoreBlue Posted November 14, 2018 Report Posted November 14, 2018 I didn't realize salary cap included support staff. Is that common across other professional sports?

Our esteemed Commissioner should get off his ass, quit worrying about Halifax for the time being & get a new CBA done before the AAFL ravages all 9 team rosters.
