Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news

[Jets]

Even if the CFL goes full stupid mode and Americanized everything (4 downs, essentially the same field & rules), it doesn’t make a lot of sense to make any sort of agreement or merger with the UFL.  If the CFL is in dire straits financially there’s no logic in merging with another failing league and adding 8 more struggling/bankrupt franchises to the mess. 
 

Im much more inclined to think switching to the American game is a feeble attempt at aligning with the NFL and making the CFL into some sort of “NFL Canada” setup akin to NFLEurope of old.  Basically you play NFL rules on NFL fields in Canada, but the NFL farms out dozens of practice squad players to Canadian teams as a development league, while keeping a handful of Canadian players on each roster (probably a lot less with less stipulations on playing them though). 
 

In return I could see the NFL propping up the CFL financially and maybe even expanding to Toronto and/or BC, leaving the remaining teams as a NFLCanada, the farm system.
