Maybe Toronto found out awhile ago and reached out to Walker and said, hey we may have 200k for you depending on how this shakes out... Thoughts?

The league & PA seem to want to get this issue cleared up so the Jones signing will go through, it's just a matter of when.

Seems odd that they would want to remove it when it was just added? Or at least that's how it read to me?

They added language to cap draft picks salaries for the first 3 years that also applies to NI's who play in the NFL before coming into the CFL. They just need to update the wording so the NI salary cap doesn't apply to NI's who get 1 or more years in the NFL. blue_gold_84, Firekid, Fred C Dobbs and 3 others 3 3

Jpan85 Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 It would seem a rookie pay scale like that would have been pushed more by the PA than the CFL. Every league it seems like current players have no problem giving on a position like rookie salaries to gain in another area. Bigblue204 and GCJenks 2
Floyd Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 But why bother capping rookie contracts at all? GMs and owners can pay a draft pick $250k if they want... it’s their team wbbfan 1

But why cap? If a team wants to pay a player 50% of the cap, let them that’s their problem. The league is going to realize soon that a larger % of revenue is needed. They can’t rely on new leagues failing.
Geebrr Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 CFL News @CFL_News . @FarhanLaljiTSN with some other nuggets: #BCLions 95% out on signing WR Derel Walker at this point. Lions also in process of restructuring contracts of QB Mike Reilly and CDN OL Sukh Chungh. rebusrankin 1

The riders and a few other teams got real pissy with us over the money we gave faith as the top pick and the precedent that set.
