I would rather have a qb at 550 with 87k upfront than a 475k Qb with 200k up front for instance. I'd rather have him at or under 150 or not at all tbh.

wbbfan Posted February 1, 2022 Report Posted February 1, 2022 Lions sign deanthony Thomas. Great Pick up. It'd be scary good to have him on the field at the same time as lucky. Bigblue204 1

We always seem to get these kind of guys who had decent long NFL careers and they came here and are either washed up or Under estimate the learning curve of the game or don’t work hard enough to get into the starting line up. Not saying this is the case necessarily but I can’t really remember the last NFL receiver veteran to come into the CFL and have success.

I get why you say that but this guy isn't your average nfl mid term return man. This guy is dangerous af with the football in his hands. This is a lucky Whitehead level pick up. Also he missed 2020 because of covid. He decided to sit it out. I would be thrilled if we had got him. 1 hour ago, Geebrr said: Team player! What a hero! Isn't this basically half the riders signing bonus cap for the year? Am I out to lunch or what.

There's a couple of Regina sports broadcasters on Twitter saying we just have to be ignoring the salary cap because we're signing too many players. Their tweets are stoking up the Priders as they just can't believe it as they probably had dreams of scarfing up some of our free agents. It's all about players wanting to stay here you morons. rebusrankin 1
Booch Posted February 2, 2022 Report Posted February 2, 2022 Yup...when your players wanna stay..sign prior to free agency at a fair price..and less than they would have got if they tested the market is where you wanna be as an organization...and as a player....envy of the other fanbases and need to try and spin the over the cap story SpeedFlex27 1

I think some of the players not being re-signed were on purpose. Their locker room was littered with me first losers. Talented sure...but time to move on.

Mike Posted February 2, 2022 Report Posted February 2, 2022 People around the CFL really just have no grasp of the salary cap. At all. Especially when it comes to positions like the OL. “How can the Bombers keep Couture?!”, meanwhile he’s not even being paid like a top 2 center in the league. They also seem to think every single guy league wide gets a huge raise, as if every veteran out there played for league minimum last year or something. JCon, wbbfan, blue_gold_84 and 2 others 4 1
Booch Posted February 2, 2022 Report Posted February 2, 2022 Yeah that is what makes me chuckle too...most our resigns are guys in their 3rd..4th deals now...some even more than that...their bumps aren't that huge Noeller 1

Iirc the gap between the salary floor and cap is around a million bucks. That can fit a whole lot of raises league wide. But I mean the ticats cheated the ratio like 4 times last year late in games and got a slap on the wrist. If the cap gets tight for teams giving crazy money now it likely means more rookies on the roster. But if a great vet comes available no one will hesitate.

I have been saying for ages that once the initial frenzy dies down there's going to be a significant number of good solid players who are left looking at smaller pieces of the pie available and there will be some value to be had because salary cap.

rebusrankin Posted February 2, 2022 Report Posted February 2, 2022 This is from Michael Ball aka Ballsey who is on the wolf in Saskatchewan and I believe does work on their telecasts. Idiot. I have a legit question: What is going on in WPG with the @Wpg_BlueBombers ? How can they re-sign all these players? Why would a player take way less to stay in WPG? We are talking about CFL money not NFL money! Something is up IMO. Follow the Lawler situation closely. #CFL blue_gold_84 and Noeller 2
