Fatty Liver

Hate to say it but Sask. would be wise to put themselves in a position to be able to dump old Trevor Harris at a moments notice with no financial consequences to their cap.  Rourke probably still wouldn't want to go there.

I am sorry if this all sounds Super Negatron ... it sounds like a complete under estimation of our scouting and of Kyle Walters SKILLS  and WISDOM
if anything these replacements needed to be made earlier .... changes need to be made constantly but not too much at once ... status quo thinking would be gross mismanagement  ... we still have our core and an amazingly good culture ... do you have to have it proven to you?. 
We have perhaps the best management and coaching in he league
we will see some early season transition pains but no problem
Mr Chicken Little the sky is NOT FALLING

It's the effort and performance of underdog players like Bailey and Woli that help put and keep a team on top of the standings, the more quality players of this caliber a team has the better the results.  Consider it the equivalent of having a solid 3rd line in hockey.

Pretty upsetting when dominant performers like Grant, Bailey and Jeffcoat are given up on mainly because there's no money leftover to pay them close to what they deserve.

Farhan, who was convinced the CFL couldn't survive without the XFL and tried to convince everyone else of this, is going into the HOF. The bar is so tremendously low for entry, it kind of makes it worthless. 

This one time, Stove threw 4 OL, a Rb and half of the Riders coaching staff to the ground and then just took the ball out of CoFaj's hands and raced in for a TD. Then he kicked the extra point.

Those 6 games Stove played in Wpg. made him a legend, hasn't done anything since.

Bo Svenson, obviously he must be referring to the great actor Bo Svenson.

What kind of hurtful sterotype is that? Maybe his family owns a waste management company.

Looks like they found their FB.

I totally agree with you. Those incremental increases were prearranged. The next major negotiation is still a couple of years away. What the financial situation of the  league is a big unknown right now. If we are still in these tight finances (and I am guessing that the missing the covid season has a lot to do with that) then it is just stay in financial survival mode.
However, if we are continuing to see TV fan ratings going up there could be a substantially larger amount of money available for the salary cap. It might even be a quantum leap. When such discoveries are made financial decisions in a compacted time frame are not always made with the greatest wisdom. 
Preplanning what to do with newfound money is not senseless. It often makes a great deal of difference; in order to negotiate well; you have to know what is truly important and what makes a big difference. Otherwise, the money just goes to the top end of the player pool, as the all-stars demand and the general managers compete. That is the opposite of planning.
So at the next player negotiations, if there is not a source of new money from increased viewership or attendance, then I agree that the best thing to focus on is player safety and procedural methods to ensure that safety. One item I have harked on in the past is quarterback protection. There are many other issues. There is also methodology to increase player security and comfort.
Why bring preplanning up now? Because we are in a lull of big events to discuss. How many posters are considering the state of the league 3 to 5 years down the line?
Now that we've had the NFL draft last night, we can start to get into the nitty-gritty of our Canadian draft and getting players to camp. It's getting exciting!

In the past it seemed like OL blossomed late, and played till the wheels fell off. Now, especially with Canadians, they seem to start and leave much earlier than before. With the change of body/athletic types along the OL we've seen guys prioritize walking away with a great degree of health and quality of living than ever before. I feel like out side of that we see solid to fringe players walk away despite having roles they could fill for a long time a good bit as well. Some times because they seemingly realize they can't be more or because they realize the amount of grind that is required to attain little on maintain a high level of play is much more than they expected. 

I think McCrae had plenty of talent, but not the best situation to be in with Brady hogging the ball and the dedicated crew  of receivers he was competing against plus Grant.  As for wages, he probably played for close to minimum throughout his tenure, can't fault the guy for trying to make a living playing football.

Really good pick up. He made a Vikings team that had a good group of WRs, as a wr. He was a good kr in college, but isn’t a kr that plays wr. He’s a wr that does kr for touches. 
 Great hands, attacks the ball and makes catches in the smallest windows. Great body control and balance.

Itd be great if we carry two guys like that one as the 5th wr and one as a kr while being able to interchange them on both kr and the offence. 

Looks more like a leprechaun to me.
 

You don't hear anyone talking about it, do you?

Don't see why this guy matters at all, it's either a civil or criminal case, the CFL can react appropriately after the official verdict is rendered, instead of trying to implement corrective action ahead of time.
