What a fool. This hurts the CFL so much. Are you that dense that you don't understand? I even attached a story that puts it all out in front of you. $412000 went to salaries in 2025 and $218000 went to salaries this year. Twenty seven percent went to salaries to be divided among the 9 teams for 2025. I have no idea how much went to pensions etc. Nobody does but the players. I'm not going to fight you on this. Go die by yourself on that hill alone. I'm done.

We're talking college here.he had 4 years to adapt & change his game as he needed tio do. As wbbfan says, teams bring these guys in & most fail because they've been failing all along. I guess he's worth a look see.

The salary cap increased $412,365 for the 2025 season. The previously negotiated salary cap of $5,650,000 in the CBA was increased to $6,062,365. The salary for 2026 has increased by $218,149 to $6,280,514. That's an increase of over $630,000 dolars over the original negotiated $5.75 million salary cap in the CBA https://www.sportsnet.ca/cfl/article/cfl-salary-cap-rises-again-following-revenue-growth-in-2025/

Condell would be familiar with White, that's for sure.

I think saying that U Sports would be more legitimate is an insult to every player who has ever played Canadian university football. How can any fan say that a Canadian kid as a qb making a PR on an NFL team would make U Sports more legit? Look at the talent it has given the CFL since the 1930's. There have been many, many legendary players. My son never played U Sports but he did play university football at SFU which was a Canadian based NCAA team on the Lower Mainland at the time. So, certainly there's a feeling of respect & a kindred spirit there between the 2 teams. There were players at UBC who could have driven over from West Van to the Burnaby, practice field, walked on & instantly made that team. Personally, based on coaching & talent when my son was there from 2012-15, had the Schrum Bowl still have been played, SFU would have got its ass handed to it.

It takes time to recover from surgery. He may have been rushed back.

"Coach Jones, Coach Jones..... It's Cleveland calling.... Coach???? Why is he running away???"

From the comments Jefferson made to the media there wasn'tn much of a raise, if any. It's similar to last year. That's the DC & DLC lost as to what to do with him. Which is why I wished we actually went out & found an experienced DLC instead of gifting it to Thomas. We have some serious work to do to rebuild that DL. Is Younger this great young DC & a Head Coach in waiting? Not convinced.

Being a qb coach really helped the transition. He loves helping kids get to the next level at high school. A lot of his guys have got scholarships. The hamstring injury was serious. He didn't have surgery because the team doctor at SFU misdiagnosed the injury. If he had surgery, he might have recovered to play again at 100%. Maybe he would have redshirted. It happened in January 2015 going into his senior year so he'd have had 9 months to recover. He'd have missed spring camp only. It was a hard thing for him to go through. Not being able to run at full speed.

You just slapped every Canadian who has played CIAU, CIS or U Sports the past 70 years. As if, having some random Canadian qb "making it" onto a PR or even 3rd string on a roster (but will never actually play in the NFL on merit) suddenly legitimizes everything these players have/will accomplish. BTW, tell Russ Jackson or Joe Poplawski they were never legitimate players.

It's tough when a player reaches the end of the line but wants to keep playing especially college age kids. Usually a coach tells them it's over or injuries catch up.. Which is what happened to my son. An off season hammy tear was the end for him. He went from running a 4.6 forty as a junior & taking off with the ball to being a pylon as a qb runninga 5.4 forty in his senior year at SFU. When he went to the combines after his final season in 2015, he couldn't run or cut. He knew it was over... He had to face that. It wasn't easy. His hammy still gives him trouble. Surgery at some point is down the line.

I think it's a big ask for teams to think underachievers in their 20's who couldn't excel at lower levels will suddenly do so in the CFL.

Younger has to figure out what he wants to do with Willie. That's the problem, I think.

I amended that quote & added to it since you included it. Is it an overpay for Jefferson? It's high but Willie's a veteran so he's going to get paid. But it isn't much different from last season. As I said earlier somewhere, I want to see what he does with better personnel & a "Jake Free" defensive line this coming season.

The bump is $260,000. The salary cap is $6.3 million. With an andditional $50000 per team during training camps for veterans only. Teams now have time to work on offers fro free agents unlike last year which was a **** show under Ambrosie. Jefferson says his deal is similar to last year monetarily wise at $200,000 a year.
