I believe the cap was brought in as a preemptive defense in the upcoming CBA negotiations so players can’t point to some of the excess being spent by some teams and wanting a bigger piece of the pie. That and to allow the weaker financial teams to remain competitive and not spend beyond their means.

Apparently he didn't want to take the same pay cut everyone else was taking.

People who signed up for Bomber For Life was Friday. Regular season ticket holders this morning.

Standings updated with Grey Cup results.

For minor off-season Bomber news. Any significant stories or news that are likely to generate significant discussion may have their own thread created. Going to try going with the two threads again for the off season. One for Bomber news, one for CFL news. These threads should be used for general / minor day to day news, tweets, etc. A catch all for tidbits that people want to share to keep everyone up to date on the goings and comings of the league. Any news, tweets, and signings that is likely to generate significant discussion may have their own threads created.

They should make these shirts, bet they would be huge sellers.

I believe it is because it was the Jets who originally put him on Waivers. If another team were to have claimed him, they'd have to keep him on their roster for 30 days. But because the Jets originally placed Dano on waivers and Colorado claimed him from them, then Colorado put him on waivers in the same season, the Jets can claim him and put him directly down to the AHL since they originally owned his rights.

This makes no sense with the salary cap in the CFL. Every team will spend roughly the same on player salaries. Different teams will have different strategies on how they spend that money I also can’t see this philosophy for a community owned team like the Bombers. They need to be fiscalky responsible with their money to ensure the franchise is stable, but they aren’t cutting costs to line an owners pocket book. BLM will sign with either Calgary or the NFL IMO. Reilley likely Edmonton or B.C. if the money is similar.

Why not kickoff a new curling thread with this story. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/curling/curling-team-ejected-extremely-drunk-1.4910869

Exact same experience

There is a very real problem of a high number of Rider posters that come here purely to troll. There is immediate suspicion on anyone who comes here under the Rider banner, is here to troll, because over 95% that come here do just that. It is unfortunate that every Rider fan here gets lumped into that category, and is jumped on by some posters, but there is good reason that it happens. I just banned a “semi regular” Rider poster here yesterday. Turns out he had signed up with 3 accounts, one with a very insulting name. It gets so tiring dealing with the stupid games people try to play, and the tolerance level gets lowered every time.

Bennett’s been in now for the last couple of series.

Based on a quote from O'Shea, he asked for his release because he wanted to go home. If he had asked for his release and said he wanted to go sign with an opponent we are likely playing in the playoffs, I'm not sure the team would have been so quick to grant it.

I believe he is still not practicing. For sure won’t play this week. They are expecting him back for the playoffs

A win in a meaningless game won't mean anything. This game changer moniker also only really matters to some fans. The coaches will do what they think is best to win in the playoffs. It would be foolish to play Nichols this whole game and risk injury in a meaningless game for the playoffs.

Except, with this story breaking, his girlfriend would now know. So he would have to pay up AND face the music, which if all of this is true, he deserves.

A side girl. The article and claims basically said Kane pushed for the abortions and eventually offered the payout because he didn't want his actual girlfriend to find out.
