For some teams, the CFL Offseason is here. Rather than lose all the coaching movement discussions to the Regular season thread, I thought we could start putting it here.

Those teams currently lost in the wilderness:

Ottawa

Toronto

BC

Montreal

Calgary

Edmonton

Saskatchewan

Hamilton

The champs are here.. the champs are here... Winnipeg*

 

*Grey Cup Champions

So just to recap... the Argos go over the salary cap and not only do they not get fined/penalized but they get rewarded with an extra territorial pick...

Rest of the league subsidizes their losses while they pay Jim Popp $600k a year...  got it.

I looked at that article and I couldn’t see how much over the cap they were. Did I miss that or was it not listed?

Trevor Harris has added his “pull a truck” work out video to go along with the ones by Lucky Whitehead and Adam Bighill’s.

 

Guys a card...he should be dealt with........................Geez I'm missing football

“The CFL franchise cost to operate is somewhere between $25 to $30 million per year, multiply that by nine it is about $250 million to fund each of the clubs on a yearly basis, that would be my estimate. So if you’re asking for $150 million, it’s a reasonable ask,” Smith said on CTV Ottawa.

Can someone post the Bombers operating expenses as I'd really like to know if it's as high as Smith says...

Perhaps the players input should be also factored in as they are major stakeholders as well.

How much more science is Ambrosie & the BOG's waiting for? A vaccine?

Honestly I think they're waiting for another league, like the NHL to go first so they can take lessons from that.

That would be the prudent thing to do.

Well you'd be a fool not to learn from other experiences, however I wonder if they aren't waiting too long to copy cat another league rather than working on their own strategy in the meantime. 

It's a time to be proactive and yes things are constantly changing, but you gotta have some kind of plan that gets updated regularly... That's what every other business and institution is doing right now.

I doubt there's another league as reliant on gate revenues...

They are probably waiting for some way to make Toronto work as a hub city... however Bombers did just call and say they are expecting a season starting in September

there will be NO season this year and the players are making the decision for the glue-head commish  

This might be the best thing BLM (Ah, that’s Bo Levi Mitchell) has said up here.

They said the same thing to me a few weeks ago when they called. I think it has more to do with holding onto our money for as long as possible, which makes sense to me. 

 

I converted my credit into a Bomber Store gift card.

Mine is a credit towards next year.

I'm going to be very surprised if there is a season as well. Just don't see how they get it done.

He asked for mine but I said, Floyd was loaded, you can keep his. 

 

I turned my credit into Bomber Store gift cards and got an additional 20% back. I'm going to buy a new jersey anyhow, so may as well get some extra back.
