    Yea....I am unclear why there would be a need for any use of the term otherwise. It would just be set in stone. Each team must designate X amount of dollars over the SMS floor.

    Ok thanks, that makes way more sense than being able to go nuts with SMS skirting. The use of the term "minimum" in this case is not meant to be used as anything more than to denote that it could be more based on revenues in the future not to mean there is unlimited spending.

    I am sure minimum means minimum as in teams can allocate more than 110k to players in promo money this year if they wish.  That section of the CBA is poorly written, as a legal document there shud be greater clarity.

    So far we know the Bombers have given 105k to three players. (Brady 50k, Schoen 35k, Demski 20k).

    My guess is they prolly allocated promo money to guys like Jefferson and Bighill as well.

  3. 2024 Blue Bomber Training Camp

    I compared the training camp roster handout vs the roster on the Bombers' website and 4 players are missing on the handout. There is no mention anywhere they are no longer on the team:

    WR 72 Braxton Burmeister

    DT 92 Kenneth Randall

    DB 13 James Campbell

    DB 46 Montrae Braswell

    (there is a 13 on defence but its Bill Hackett)

    Also did anyone know that Winnipeg Rifles runningback Kaiden Banfield is participating in camp? He's number 30.

    If they handed out a way of spending limitlessly on the roster we would have brought back guys like grant and more free agent vets. 

    I thought about that. Maybe the Bombers just wanted to move on from Grant. 

    With there being no limits to this promo money they could have easely found extra money for him.

    Did the Bombers actually lose any players that they wanted to re-sign? 

    They knew they had to start turning over some of the roster. Need to develop the next group of starters.

    I’m pretty sure there is a set amount per appearance and your number of appearances has to reflect that number. 
     

    So, while there is no cap on it , the math has to work out. 

    If that is the case how were the Argos expected to justify giving Chad Kelly 100k in promo money?

    Thats alot to give to one player. How many appearances was he expected to make?

    If you guys think there are actually going to be any live 100% effort one on one reps against roster players, you’re nuts lol 

    He’s going to go out there, run a few routes, maybe have Jordan Younger suit up and let the seniors give it all they got a couple times and the rest of the time it will literally be 0% serious 

     

     

    Tomorrow is also the first day of ROOKIE camp. I dont expect much one on one time. I think alot of the time will be showing the players the nuances of the CFL game and to go through at slower speed what practice will look like for the following days.

    I can see Milt showing the new guys how to waggle though.
