How short sighted of the CFL to even have this in the CBA. The word cheap just cries out. 

This is standard language and terms in pretty much every major sports league. Teams want control over the players they draft and develop and have them being somewhat cost controlled.

This is actually LESS onerous than most other leagues. NHL is 3 years and then restricted free agency. NBA is 2 years plus 2 years of team options then restricted free agency. NFL is 4 years then a team option I think (3 years if undrafted). MLB is the king of cost-controlling players, I don't think most players make their debut in the majors until their mid twenties, and then there is all kinds of weird rules and arbitrations... I think average age of hitting unrestricted free agency in baseball is something ridiculous like 32. 

NFL used to have unlimited contract value on their rookies, but teams pushed back on having their first overall picks being their highest paid players.
