Interesting Changes to IR

[Rich]

Saw these tweets and found this to be an interesting development in terms of how teams would stash players on the IR.

 

 

 

#CFL changes will make it harder to stash guys on IR. Players on new 6-game IR won't be able to practise until 2 weeks from return date.

Previously, players could practise the whole time. New model is very similar to NFL PUP list. #CFL

I'm a fan of this.   Use the IR how it was intended, not to hide players.

the IR was one of the only ways to protect your draft picks who weren't quite ready to play yet though.... I think the CFL really does need to come up with some way to let teams retain players rights.

Even just one offensive and one defensive rookie reserve spot would be great.
