I don't trust the CFL & Jeff Orridge to be honest about the salary cap. I wonder if a team is actually a half million over if they'd say or really ever do anything. It would handicap said team as well as embarrass the CFL. I think they'd keep it a secret. If Orridge can lie with a straight face about concussions then he & the league can lie even easier about teams being over the cap.

 

Pretty sure independent auditors go over the numbers.

    It's been proven, in this league, that if you don't have a good backup....

    The Bombers really need to kick the Riders ass sideways in their first game in the new park to set the tone for the season and send their fans off on the crazy train.  Nothing else matters.

    Riders haven't lost yet so their fans feel emboldened to venture out of their own little bubble. Won't have to wait long for them to scurry back into their holes.

its tough to gauge where they are sitting at. Yeah they were locked in to be over for 2016 but they released Carter and Stafford, recently Perrett, restructured Bowman.  I think shologan is only gonna be at most $125K-$130K and I expect them.  I expect a few other vets to get cut like Jovan Johnson, Crompton, SJ green... I think for 2017 they will be in a lot better shape cap wise

I'm not so sure about SJ Green...  but I could see the others getting cut... however I'm pretty sure Jovon has a fairly small salary... If I recall the story correctly, he actually went out and contacted the Als about signing there...

    Oi vey to the Argos avoiding anyone with current CFL experience, and looking to hire NFL names to GM the team....

    I would say the most intriguing name on that list is Chris Rosetti... but his age and relative lack of experience is certainly a red flag...

    That could spell the end for Flanders, especially if they have not a clue how to make use of him.

    It will take more than potentially signing LaFrance for this team to not have an import RB somewhere on one of the rosters.  If Flanders wants to be that guy all he has to do is beat out the 3 or 4 other import RBs that show up for camp.

    It's about releasing the info. I don't trust the CFL to ever do that honestly. Not while Jeff Orridge is Commissioner. #alternativefacts

    What info?  You realize the salaries/compensation are calculated against the limit at the end of year?  It's not a daily calculation like the NHL.  A team could have signed contracts today that put them on pace to be 2x the limit and it doesn't matter.

    What I'm saying is that if at the end of the year a team is half a million over the salary cap for 2016 I think Orridge would suppress that information. Of course, I have no proof but it's just how I feel after that "alternative facts" presser he gave the media about concussions during the Grey Cup.

    That's a pretty large conspiracy considering they have independent auditors who abide by a professional code completely separate from any dealings they have with the CFL.

    The CFL dealt with professional doping testing agencies as well & Orridge told them to get lost when they became critical. Only with public shaming by media, fans & pressure from the CFLPA did Orridge & the CFL agree to use another doping testing company for player testing. I have no faith this Commissioner operates with any real ethics.

    When you have unlimited resources and are a social and media juggernaut like the CFL you can do stuff like that....Oh wait...I guess there are a couple flaws in my logic after all.

    Orridge does exactly what the CFL lawyers and the BOG tells him to do, it comes with the job description.

    Where does all the Orridge hate come from?

    From the first time I saw him literally peeing his pants on TSN handing out the Grey Cup he seems in way over his head. Then his handling of the drug testing & his criticisms of the company doing it. Then cancelling drug testing for over a season. Finally, his comments on concussions. Oh & throw in that lame grey CFL logo. Lots to hate & not much to like.
