February 10, 20205 yr comment_460981 Edmonton's radio guy tweets Eskimos active in discussions today with Posey and Roosevelt...those guys get released, or is he reporting that the Eskimos are in fact tampering?
February 10, 20205 yr comment_460982 Yeah I was wondering the same thing with Nichols commenting on Jefferson today in his press conference. Tampering window is over

February 10, 20205 yr comment_460984 must be looking to double dip his final yr playing as pay is pathetic to jump to from what he could make XFL salary structure Average salary: $55,000 Bi-weekly paycheck: $2,080 Activation fee: $1,685 Victory bonus: $2,222 A memo sent from the XFL to agents explained the details of how they'd be paid. Players will be paid on a bi-weekly basis with a base paycheck of $2,080. If they are active for a game they will receive a bonus (activation fee) of $1,685. If their team wins they get an extra bonus of $2,222. According to the memo sent by the league to agents it says "a player may earn up to $4,947 per game week." That's taking into account half of the base paycheck ($1,040), the activation fee and the victory bonus. Contracts for players in the XFL this season start from Dec. 3, 2019 to May 31, 2020 if they remain in the league for the full season.

That victory bonus is ridiculous... first teams to have a losing season will be hard pressed to sign players Bi-weekly equals hey we're not sure we'll make it through the season... ha

I'm thinking Green found out in the last 2 weeks that he was not going to get a CFL deal with much guaranteed money.

To from a legend in one league to a nobody in another. I guess he must be getting a raise? The guy is 35, has made good money in his cfl and will probably be inducted in the hof up here. Xfl is probably just an opportunity to be close to home and still play.

Posey was released but Roosevelt is still Riders property. The tweet actually says they are still talking to Posey, which is fine, and they had been talking to Roosevelt, which is also fine (assuming those conversations were prior to yesterday's deadline).

Apparently SJ has been helping coach the Tampa Bay Vipers receivers where Trestman is the HC, probably a transition into coaching in the works.

February 10, 20205 yr comment_461076 Honestly, I'm aware this sounds very nitpicky but I think the Argos should face some kind of discipline for Nichols' comments. The CFL made changes to give teams a "legal" window to tamper with players and if in spite of that, you STILL get caught tampering with public comments outside of that window? There should be some kind of discipline. I think ruling them ineligible to sign Jefferson and suspending Nichols for 6 games ought to do it.
February 10, 20205 yr comment_461078 I just saw a quick pic of Matt. Is his arm in a sling still? Looked armless in the photo

Last six of the year though, just in case he isn't healthy for June/July.
