  • As a 46 year season ticket holder, I'm quite concerned regarding the current bargaining situation.  I love the game and have been a big supporter of the league, and especially the Canadian Content rul

Kirk Penton just pointed out .. at least they've moved on from revenue sharing. That IS a big step.

Makes you wonder then why can't they get a deal done. Unfreakingbelievable. 

 

Because there is still consequence-free time left.  Once they run out of time and there are actual impacts on players lives, stuff will get done.

5.2m cap, raising to 5.7m over course of 5 yr term.

 

Minimum salary of 55k raising to 62.5k over course of 5 yr term.

 

5k veteran bonus, 2.5k rookie bonus for showing up.

 

Give them their independent neurologist, 5 padded practices every four weeks.

 

Beers all around.

 

Call it a day.

 

There. I just did Molstad's job. Pay me.

Funny, Nick Moore wasn't complaining when he signed his over valued contract in free agency...

 

Report to camp, "in good faith"....lmao come on man

 

I'm not a big Nick Moore fan and stuff like this is why. He is one of those guys that I'll cheer for on the field but I don't have much use for off of it.

 

It's like he's been diagnosed with Jovon Johnson Syndrome.

The sad thing is that any increase in the cap you know that money is going to be used to increase the salary of the top 30% or so of players. Does Ricky Ray need and extra 50k. on his salary. No change in the camp will add value to the middle of pack of players. Much like life its either the top or the bottom that gets the real breaks.

so not exactly the high character type of player that the team seems to want or need? That can't be good.

I counter with 5.2M cap this year going up by $75K per year and forget about re-opening up the 'Tied to Revenue' talk in a couple of years.  The TSN money isn't going up each year and other costs do go up each year, so the teams are going to have to raise additional revenue on their own to pay for the yearly increases.

 

Rookies don't vote, so min salary raised to 50K with yearly 5% increases.  

 

1K signing bonus per rookie and 6K for the vets cuz they vote.

 

Any competent trainer can do the concussion tests and neurologist's cost money, so counter with a team doctor at every game.

 

I'm not into beer so Rum and Cokes all round.

anyone else find the wording of Cohon's release confusing?

 

"This afternoon, the Canadian Football League has sent its best offer for a new collective bargaining agreement directly to the players. Unfortunately, this best offer was rejected by the CFLPA executive committee this morning. 

 

 

um... that's not how time works.

 

seems like since we make fun of Flory's releases (rightly so) we ought to hold the league to the same standard.
