Here’s something the league needs to fix...making the playoffs and winning a playoff game COST the Bombers nearly $500,000.  That’s absurd.  Playing road playoff games is an expense for teams, it shouldn’t be.

I don't see anyway around that.

Well if they had stayed in the East they'd have a home playoff game every year :P

The problem with the expense of playoff games is that the CFL allocates a set number of playoff shares, plane tickets , hotel rooms and per diems.  It does not include coverage for injured list playoffs shares  that players are entitled to. It does not cover when teams bring extra players, staff and management to road playoff games.  The worst case scenario is the added expenses of going to the Cup and losing. Go and win and you can bring in a significant amount in Championshop merchandise....nobody wants to buy Grey Cup Finalist merch.

Have to get down to 75 players by tomorrow 

After the transactions today, we stand @ 69 + 2 non-counters. ( I did not count Firlotte as non-counter, not sure if he is) .

So we still have room for some players like those WRs who had a good camp last week.
