Just thought I would pop in and wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Wishing you all a happy holiday season and wondeful new year!

It's a fairly recent change, when the newest CBA bumped the minimum to 70k they made the minimum apply to all players regardless of Nationality "The CFL minimum salary will increase to $70,000 in 2023 and $75,000 in 2027. That minimum will apply to players regardless of roster designation — National, American and Global. Global players were previously limited to contracts of $54,000, lower than the league minimum." Man, if Hansen was only making 54k talk about bang for your buck (or Euro)

globals are on their own payscale, and yes make less

People in this thread seem to think Canadian rookies and Globals make less than American rookies? The league minimum across every player is 70k. In the event that Damian Jackson was replaced by a rookie Canadian fullback, there would likely be no money saved for example. Obviously recent signings like Deatrick Nichols, Cam Lawson and Redha received big pay raises. Lawson and Redha especially coming off rookie deals and I bet Nichols is one of league's highest paid DBs now. And guys like Lawler and Demski are going to getting more money after taking less last year to make the cap work. I think as fans we've got to temper expectations about how many guys can be brought back. The cap is not fluid it is very real and it is going to force the team to make some very tough decisions this offseason. I'm excited to see what direction we go in, who gets brought back, and which new young guys step up!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, Wanna-B-Fanboy.

Ford needs more development. Get MBT and set up a Ford package of plays. Use him like we did with Strev.

I still think Ford can figure it out. I have faith.

Yeah...it does all add up....and if BO wants 150k more which is ridiculous and puts him over 250k which will never ever happen...anywhere u walk away and run with a first yr import for dirt cheap and his and JA' s salaries alone go a looong way to resigning who we feel is vital

If you're Brown, why sign a one year deal with another club? That's a lack of commitment by a new team

Not at all true. We had soo many 100k cheques to guys who don’t need to be back from Thomas to Augustine we have all the room in the world to make it work. Zach could renegotiate and go back down to 500k as well. Dru isn’t going to be fishing for the biggest deal, the best opportunity to play and have a good supporting cast is what he will go for. He isn’t signing for 1 year and no one is going to sign him for 1 year. Makes no sense for any one to do that on a new team.

If you were Dru brown, would you sign with Ottawa knowing the history of that team as well as bad management & coaching? If I was Brown, I'd be hesitant if they offered me the most money to play for a tire fire of an organization like that. I truly hope he uses common sense to know that money might buy him more problems than he really needs. Brown reminds me of Nick Arbuckle. Small body of work. Thought he should be a starter. Has been bouncing around since. He'll probably bounce his way out of the CFL now the way he's played.

If Jones cut him, I'd take him over Prukop, at least he still has the potential to be rehabbed.
