Well that loss stung last night. Not happy with the decision to kick the FG but that can be discussed elsewhere  All in all there was a lot of improvement this year over last year and looking like they are trending upwards. If Walters can pull off another great draft and some more key FAs this offseason I like our chances going into 2017. Who is on the FA watch list and what areas are we in desperate need of fixing?

Where are the riders coming up with all this cap space? Werent they right up against it last year? Is jones just saying eff it?

Carter is a great talent. But the greatest degree of head case. Itll be interesting to see if it was the setting in mtl or if he is a nutter. 

Here's the reality.  Everyone has cap space based on how it's calculated.  And it's not a "cap."  Literally nothing like the NHL or NFL.

"Salary Management System"

Cap space is eaten up by:

1) QBs - The Riders are not burdened with that luxury item.

2) NI - Another area of concern for the Riders.

For glenn to go there soo early makes me think he didnt go for peanuts. 

You mean like the henoc muamba deal? That and Nis dont eat up the majority of cap space, imps do. Like duron carter.

Thats simply wrong.

"The CFL slapped Saskatchewan with a $60,000 fine and cut the team's salary cap by $26,000 for using ineligible players during practices."

"The CFL 's player salary cap is defined as part of the Salary Management System framework. For the 2016 season, the CFL Maximum Salary Expenditure Cap (SEC) is $5.1 million per team"

Look at what MTL had to do mid season to get under sms. Sask was against it the year before last and had to cut down. But re spent. Then late in the year were again right up against it. Now, they are spending like drunken frat boys.

QFT. it may be the off season but still it isnt that slow we need politics to bleed over in here.

The few high end ones like muamba earn big pay days. Of which sask has how many? Under jones they have spent like mad men on Imps. And over all far more money is paid to imps then NI in the cfl.

Also OL. The reality is that good NIs are rarer, so they command the most money. IMP's cost less because there's a lot more of them available

Basically a luxury tax.  If a NHL team isn't compliant for a day they lose picks and the league makes the move to get them compliant for them.

The CFL "cap" isn't tallied until the season is over, not every day or even every week during the season.  It's a moving target.

So starter money is Regina is peanuts....AND for those who have different thoughts on Glenn actually being the starter....dream on...He would have stayed here if he wasn't going to start ,and I think they're paying him more than peanuts..

I'm not sure I see that as a great deal. If you're the worst starting qb in the league you should make the least amount of money. 

Good for Glenn though.

Carter "officially" signs with Sask this morning.....So a guy like that in a small fish bowl where everyone knows him....i give 6 weeks before there are reports of him fighting some drunk dude wearing a pilsner hat at a bar

if he's got incentive bonuses (which lawless might have said) its only a matter of time before he gets at it with one or more of the QBs for not throwing him the ball, or for skipping one at his feet. Jones might have a my way or the highway hardline stance, but a **** leopard can't change its spots

I think he had a pretty good relationship with Glenn last year. But who doesn't love Glenn?

Glenn isn't stupid, he knows Sask. needs him and from talking with Nichols I'm sure he's aware Jones will be yanking his chain all season long.

Durant signed last week. We're talking about the ageless Glenn now!
