Osheas kid, for one

What kid coming out of a Canadian University is going to be so delusional to think he can will his way onto a team? If you're not getting drafted out of USports, you're under no delusion that you have a career in football. Full stop. You have a university degree and you know your life is drawing you elsewhere. Maybe you come across a few that will give it a go because they're not ready to give up quote yet.

For a kid straight out of college who really wants to play professional football, $40,000 for half a year is not peanuts. It's a career starter that might get them on the team full-time next year. Meanwhile they get to immediately don a professional uniform and just get used to the game. Learning how to play in the enemy's territory can be learned later. Meanwhile they will have the benefit of professional coaching and mentoring from the senior players in their position. This is way better than sitting on the taxi squad hoping someday to get in to uniform. This is not a denigrating position for a raw rookie. Ask any aspiring Canadian who gets cut whether they would rather be one of the partly paid Canadian trainees. Ask any of the coaches if they would like the depth that these players would give when the injury bug hits. Even if "their development is being accelerated at half the pace of their teammates" (and I don't believe it would be), then there is progress being made towards the following season. Many would buy into that. This might not be the perfect way to get more Canadians into our game, but it is a way. We would end up with more Canadian talent and more useful players than ever before. Develop the lower end of the roster.

Add a spot for a Canadian QB that doesn't count against the cap. Maybe make it a Canadian trained university spot.

Curious is being kind. Usually the mocks get better on the second go round... Not in this case. -

Didn't think it was possible that his 2nd effort would be worse than his first, but he managed to do it. Arku first overall? Us taking a player at 8th not even ranked in cfl top twenty scouting bureau rankings? Muembi ahead of Straker? And as mentioned no olineman in a draft said to be the best for oline in years.? -

No OL for Winnipeg? Marshall isn't very good at this. -
So in order to strengthen the game … you want to take what? 60 collegiate football players and somehow convince them to dedicate themselves to the game of football for half the regular salary, they don’t get to travel with the team to learn about what it’s like to be a pro on the road, they don’t get to make a living wage and they basically just get to what? Become special teams crash test dummies because they’re already the bottom of the totem pole as far as athletic talents go (otherwise they would hold a better spot on the roster) and their development is being accelerated at half the pace of their teammates?

CFL PA What to negotiate for next?
JuranBoldenRules replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Because he is still a free agent and could play again. Could also coach. -
If they suspend him then he can’t pull a Tom Brady.
-
Is he ok? Will he survive? And people wonder why the Leafs are hated...please Boston do us a favor and save us! 😄
-
I wonder why the CFL would suspend a guy who is aleady retired? I guess at least he is still kind of around to suspend i guess?? Better late than never? 😄
