    I still am legitimately excited for the Jets and don't think this series is over yet.... But...... Being more of a Bombers fan than a Jets fan..... I'm not super disappointed if the Jets are done in time for everyone to start getting excited for the Bombers. Hate for the Jets to be hogging the attention when the Bombers are starting TC and need the spotlight a little more.

    A run by the Jets would put this city in a good mood and act as a warmup for the Summer of Fun at the PAS (aka Fort Hew).

    When the players vote, they ratify. Negotiations occur before the fact; there are trade-offs for both sides in the negotiations.  If the governors want an expanded roster, $240,000 is not a lot of money. And some of the players will see  player expansion is a good thing.

    So in our discussion the key thing is getting the concepts across, not minor money matters

    You keep saying the same thing over-and-over and have not provided anything new. I'm sure the CFL will just find more money. This is just another of your nonsense threads.

    " I do NOT see the CFL adding more salaried positions" I agree if the salary cap is not going up but if history is any guide it will go up at least some. What I am advocating here is to take $250,000 of that increase and expand the Canadian roster size. It will ultimately lower the cost of Canadians over all. It will lower it because there will be more Canadian talent because of the larger veteran experienced talent pool (30 to 60 more veterans at least).

    The teams can then apply the rest of the salary cap increase as they see fit. Until we see game day rosters the same size as the NFL, we will always have game day injury problems. A little common sense can prevail here. We just have to regulate it slightly for a very good purpose.

    CFLPA will not choose to spread money to more positions. That's not in the best interest of the current players. Current players vote.

    With teams struggling financially coming out of Covid, new owners, teams for sale, and some depleted facilities, I do NOT see the CFL adding more salaried positions. You can't just keep adding more roster spots without spreading the money around. So, CFLPA is not going to take less for more spots. 

    CFLPA should to focus on player safety and getting as much money for the existing roster spots as possible.

    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.

    It's been said already, but it really is a shame that Brady got robbed of the MOP award. The League could have had a guy who at least appears to be a proud Canadian, playing for his home team and literally rescues puppies, as the face of the league....instead they have a Chad...

    And, the player that earned the MOP with a superior season. But, it's a QB award, just ask Cody.

    So apparently(did not know this) the 2 years to sign your draft pick rule is CHL related. NCAA picks are 3.

    See you next year for more of the same.

    Oh, so he's still under control for his senior year? Yeah, then it's best if he goes back to Michigan next year. I thought the clock ran out next summer.

    Says he has a great relationship with the Jets including a lot of respect for management. Not sure how you read that he is not signing with the Jets eventually?

    If he waits until next summer, he can sign anywhere as an FA. Even if he chooses the Jets, he's best off going the FA route. There will be a lot of teams hoping he makes it to summer '25 unsigned.
