CBC reporting that the new deal is worth 500 million or 83.3 million per year. That's a massive increase. Would the revenue share get the SMS up this year? If so, the SMS increase would be pretty large.

Not necessarily - the league revenue is reviewed at the end of each year and any increases go towards the next season. The increased TV revenue should mean more money for the players but it's up to the CFLPA to decide how they want to allocate it. They largely do put increases towards the cap though so I would expect another decent jump next year.

According to the CBA terms, the CFL established an initial baseline mark for defined league revenue during the 2022 season, which takes into account revenues for the league and its nine franchises. If revenues exceeded the initial baseline in subsequent seasons, that uptick can be added to the following year’s salary cap at the Players’ Association’s discretion.

2025 CFL salary cap limit jumps over $400,000 due to increased league revenues - 3DownNation

wow not what i was expecting. I think i recall hearing they host some fight stuff.

Yes, they've had fights on there for years. They've aired a ton of big boxing matches (Canelo often has his fights on there) and have even shown UFC stuff (for non-US markets) in the past but it's mainly Bellator, PFL & KSW for MMA.

my IPTV service I use on my streaming devices has a whack of DAZN channels in the Canadian Sports section...I pay I think 15 bucks a month and get like i dunno...5000+ channels tho I just remove all the listings for foreign stuff

Same. Won't affect me at all unless my IPTV service gets nuked.

I can't see Edmonton, Ottawa, Montreal or Hamilton being interested off the top of my head.

If he thinks Elgersma was handed the QB2 spot & he's not willing to compete for a QB3 spot here, I don't see where else Wilson could land.

The Western teams (except maybe Edmonton) don't have a very experienced QB room but I can't imagine he's going to come in late and beat out someone with similar experience and more familiarity with the respective playbooks. Some QB's going down with injury down the road might be his best (only?) shot at getting signed somewhere.

Didn't not see Vegas sweeping Colorado but they did.

Say what you will about Tortorella but he has them dialed in right now. What a crazy couple of months for them.

Bombers drop Wilson from the suspended list, making him a FA. I'd be shocked if he gets picked up by another CFL.

They will beat Carolina guaranteed as Carolina has been off for way 2 long.

Colorado Montreal final. Book it. Montreal wins. Guaranteed. They have faced a ton of adversity. 2 game 7s. Carolina has 2 sweeps. Montreal will beat them.

Appears that if MacKinnon isn’t 100 percent healthy the Avs suck. And montreals magic has run out.

Carolina Vegas final? Yikes. The ultimate who cares for most nhl fans.

Looks like your ride on the Habs bandwagon didn't last long. 😂

Bombers already lost a Battle today.

It wasn't a loss - they walked away. Discretion is the better part of valor afterall!

She called Paul Friesen "vile and souless" lol.

Also not sad to see him leave and thought there was probably a good chance he would not be on the final roster after camp anyway.

Peyton Thorne added to the suspended list - more playtime for the other guys!

I think McKenna/Stenberg are locked, just in which order they go 🤷🏼‍♂️

3/4 gets you a #1RHD in Reid or #2C in Malhotra.

Course if no one moves which probably will happen, it’s Bjork/Verhoef.

Fwiw, Button released his latest rankings today and he now has Bjork at 4.

Does not VGK have the most Manitobans? 🤔

Yes - they have the most at 4 players and one of them (Kolesar) is the son of an old Bomber but I'm still not cheering for them.

As if we needed another reason to make fun of Saskatchewan, this video is making the rounds on social media.

Is Schmekel a new injury or a continuation of last years? I'm not sure they ever publicly disclosed what his injury was last year.

With going on the six game I think technically he only needs to miss the first game, and that opens up a roster spot in the meantime right? Or are roster restrictions more loose during camp?

New injury - he was participating in camp earlier and I believe I saw some reports that he was looking pretty good.

Bombers cut 2 American DL this morning, Arnold Young and Michael Fletcher.

never mind. We brought in tachinsky at wr and fellow bison kaleb mackie mcleod. All our problems are solved 😜

Mcleods athleticism would be fringe if he was 30lbs heavier. Why tachinsky as a flyer now but not in rookie camp? smells like desperation to me.

Also brought in former elk late pick and school returnee kolby hurford. Solid size and production, good athleticism.

Boy what does this say about briton and jack though lol.

Maybe we should try to stretch peterson and even mci into the wr spot some. I bet peterson would pick up routes real fast. He’d be nasty off the waggle too.

Tachinsky was with Edmonton and just released a couple days ago so they couldn't have brought him in until now.

Britton already retired again so it doesn't say much about him. Jack is a 7th round pick so I'm not sure expectations were all that high (and I'm sure the expectations for these 3 new signings are about the same).

Yeah. I don’t think so. I think he’s washed. Dude played in the nfl for a while, 32 years old now, I dunno. Seems like injury related tho. I’m not sure if it’s washed or injured. Was 6 gamed last year so to be an early cut likely suggests he’s not healthy. 32 and prob has a few bucks saved up means the motivation likely wasn’t there anymore. If not for the local team then likely not for anyone else either. I’d rather the rifles kid get a shot.

"Unfortunately, in this business you have to make decisions that are best for the team, but not necessarily for the individual player. Saying goodbye to people you care about is the worst part of my job, but we felt like we had to do it in the best interest of the club.”

That's what Rigmaiden said when they released him - doesn't sound injury related to me. It sounds like they didn't feel they were getting the performance they wanted at the price they were paying.

Not sure if it was mentioned but Schmekel was added to the 6 game list today.

I see Warren Burrell is wearing #22. There was a (very good) DB - Don Burrell - who also wore #22 for Winnipeg 1981-83 or so.

Turns out Warren Burrell has another connection to the club.
