May 17, 20169 yr comment_196529 I did read that info on the Rider's site and was repulsed. Not so much that Denmark had to sign this contract to keep playing, but the fact that Jones revels in this sort of thing and that the fanbase is rolling in it. Apropos. The contract, if accurate, sucks. The revelation sucks. What else did I expect?
May 17, 20169 yr comment_196530 I don't know why people are upset or even surprised. Everyone knew that Denmark was going to have to take a significant pay cut to keep playing. If he was willing to do that with us, everyone would be rightly saying what a great job Walters did. The Riders made the best offer or else Denmark would have signed elsewhere. That contract is what he was worth on the open market.

My point is simply that incentive based contracts do sound like the ideal solution for GMs but may not always produce the ideal outcome. I do think this is a good deal for Riders.
May 17, 20169 yr comment_196557 Walters said he does not use incentive bonuses because it builds to much cost uncertainty into the salary cap. Also you should be expected to earn the contract you are givin

Bigger picture though for me is Jones and his approach in how he does things, from coaching, to management, to players, to fans, to media etc. Time will tell obviously but, with all the respect I can muster, not a guy I want anywhere near my Bombers. Yea I know, for some 'who cares. as a long as he's a winner'. Whatever, you can have him.

It's called the sniff test. Statement: Denmark's current market value has dropped down to only $8000 more than the CFL rookie minimum. Does this really pass anyone's sniff test? Seems completely flatulent to me. Edited May 17, 20169 yr by mbrg

May 17, 20169 yr comment_196578 Walter's uncertainty about Cap control and incentive based contracts? Only one player will lead the team in any one category, be it TDs , rushing yardage, tackles, INTs, ST tackles...you name it. Based on historical stats you can accurately predict how many 1,000 yds receivers you are likely to have in a season as well as TDs thrown....etc etc. There are countless predicable stats you can use to base incentives on.....or you can just give guys like Moore a bucket full of cash to play bits and pieces of a season.
