At some point they have to change right? I’ve never seen a team request ast and positional coaches for interview and been denied by those coaches soo many times. They were already the worst coached and disciplined team in the league and it’s only going to get worse. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he could comprehend what he reads and would slink away into the night on this topic. Instead he is calling McEvoy a liar, and reaching by playing verbal gymnastics to alter what McEvoy was very clearly stating. Honestly, I don't know of a single person who reads that article and still doesn't believe that the Lions are going to give Rourke a big raise if he stays. It gets tiring reading while burgess blathers on. I wish he could be censured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) Proof requires all 3 things: Offer, acceptance, & the CFL ratifying the contract. A GM saying they'll make a "competitive offer" isn't proof. It's 1 point, the first tangible one, in favour of the 'you can do whatever you want in the third year no matter what it says in the CBA' group. I'm not a lawyer and never pretended I was. Contracts 101 is enough. I thought about McEvoy's statement while running errands this morning. I think he's acknowledging that Rourke won't be in the CFL next year so the CBA draft rules won't apply to his next contract.

He specifically mentioned this season. Nice try though....those goal posts move quick with you. McEvoy specifically stated that he promised Rourke during the season that he would renegotiate his contract FOR THIS COMING SEASON and that he felt he could offer a competitive salary and playing reps to him. Unless you feel that 81k is competitive salary then your little morning brainstorm is all for nothing. Edited December 30, 2022 by GCn20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is getting so ******* tiring. If you have a twitter account, check Dave Naylor's tweets about this very subject. He said the Lions can rip up Rourke's rookie contract & re-sign him anytime they want. I could post it but I want you to find that tweet on your own. Why should I do the work for you? The CFLPA will be onboard with it. He said that no one ever thought a first year Canadian qb would ever tear up the CFL like Rourke did. There are ways to do this. But the 3 year rule in the CBA is typical small mind CFL & CFLPA thinking who both can never see the big picture.

I gave up my twitter account when Musk took over, so if you want me to read them, you'll have to post them. Of course the CFLPA would be on board, they want the players to make the most money they can. Of course BC would be on board they want to sign Rourke without having to give up his rights. If the CFL gives Rourke and BC an out for the year 3 rule.. great, but that's not the same as saying you can do whatever you want in the 3rd year without special dispensation from the league. Which I said a long time ago. Colin Unger and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contract 101 - If all parties to a contract agree to a change the contract in writing, (because the CBA is in writing, changes must also be in writing) then it can be changed. That seems to be Naylor's take and he's right. Anyone think they were making that claim before today? I remember days or weeks of OPTION means something it doesn't & one person saying that the CFL would have to sign off on any exception to the CBA rules.... me.

You can't sign him to a new contract because of the rule, so change the rule never occurred to anyone around here until yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he's been pretty open about being close to retirement and just wanted a ring. Won't be surprised to see him sign a 1 day contract with Hamilton and hang em up now that he's got it. https://3downnation.com/2022/10/08/im-just-chasing-this-ring-brandon-banks-ready-to-retire-if-argos-win-the-grey-cup/ Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
