Bush league organization.

He still has the NFL option open to him. There is no guarantee he doesn't try again although he may have some big bonus going into 2025 and big salary to consider now. He won't be on an ELC now.

Yeah but even if he's just a CFLer he's killed his ability to get any signing bonuses as a FA every year or two, whether he stays with Montreal or not. And he's put his career entirely in Montreal's hands. He's got no leverage through the prime years of his career. There's basically no reason for a CFL player to sign a contract more than 2-3 years unless they are getting insane money to sign...like 4 years of FA style signing bonus.

These are two completely different situations so I'm not going to debate the merits of both suspensions so don't even try. Especially since it wasn't my decision to suspend either player. Zurkowsky is a homer. I will say that Lemon was a veteran player who knew better but thought he'd never get caught. The NBA & MLB have given long suspensions to their players. i also believe that an Ottawa Senator was suspended half a season last year for gambling so certainly the precedent is there for a long suspension for Lemon. I think the suspension will cover Lemon for the rest of his playing days & prevent him from ever seeing his bust in the Canadian Football Hall of Fame.
August 28, 2024Aug 28 comment_720239 In any amateur sport a violation like Lemon's would make him an ineligible player from the time of the violation on....meaning any wins a team got with him on the roster wouldn't count. Montreal should feel lucky that's not the case here. The players get lengthy training every year from league and union on the gambling issue. There's no excuse.
August 29, 2024Aug 29 comment_720243 On Lemon, Johntay Porter of the Raptors was banned by the NBA for sports betting this year. Lemon's punishment isn't out of line and is just. Zurkowsky used to be a good read but now he just seems like a bitter, old man who is pissed at life.

Herb is a good writer, but about as bent as riderfans.com he’s blindly defended all the stupidest things the als have done. 17 minutes ago, Goalie said: Not surprised. He had chemistry with Dru. Nice move for them. Bc continues to try to buy a contender. Wonder if they will be the first team to get more than the monetary fine for cap violations.

August 29, 2024Aug 29 comment_720249 $145,000 for 7 games of Betts and wasn't Rouke $300,000. What CFL team has $445,000 ins salary room half way through the season? Seems shady as ****.

We keep missing out on adding established free agents for cap reasons while making the most money as a franchise. Clearly the cap is out the window, time to spend.

Seems shady as ****. A team that has Patrice Rene and Adrien Greene starting at SAM and HB. Ryder Varga and Ben Hladik taking most snaps at middle and WIL. Look at their OL. They kept money back for these guys. Edited August 29, 2024Aug 29 by JuranBoldenRules

They didn't go entirely cheap on D this year. Chungh is 200k, Couture is 180k. Peters is 140k. Their roster's not as cheap as you think.
