25/26 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season Thread

I think they are worried that Sergio punting would affect his kicking. 

Almost no one does all three jobs any more.

So what does Castillo have to do to get into the pet dept.     ....get new glasses.....Sergio should have handled all of the kicking chores long ago....

He's already on it!

Canadian receiver Damien Alford signs with New Orleans Saints: sources - 3DownNation

Saints offer must have been pretty good because he turned down 4 other NFL tryouts.

Sergio's photo reminds me of good ol Bernie Ruoff who would wear office guy glasses onfield with a single-bar helmet.  A different time the 70s were...

More hits for other teams (although these are only futures deals):

All-CFL defensive lineman Jaylon Hutchings to sign NFL futures contract with Minnesota Vikings - 3DownNation

Cincinnati Bengals sign Saskatchewan Roughriders receiver Dohnte Meyers to NFL futures contract - 3DownNation

That is a closely guarded secret. Keeps 'em guessing.

And he needs to start throwing the words "crikey" and "billabong" into his jargon and mention how much he likes Helen Reddy.

The Stamps in one day lost DL Jaylon Hutchings, Rec Mario Alford & LB Jason Roberts to the NFL. That's brutal. I don't care what people say about how great it is for our players to make an NFL team, this just kills interest in the CFL. And really hurts a team like the Stamps struggling to find relevancy in a local market where barely anyone cares anymore. It's like the Stamps are perpetually rebuilding. NFL teams need to compensate CFL teams if they sign anyone under a valid CFL contract. This system is unfair the way it is. It could be us next time. Hate it.

Unfortunately, if that were the case, the NFL would likely just say screw it and stop even looking at CFL players at all.

If we don't allow players the chance to go south as soon as they're able, they just won't come here in the first place. So we're still ******.

Haven't they made the playoffs 20 out 21 years or something? Perpetually rebuilding is a bit of a stretch.

Losing guys to the NFL does suck, but it's unavoidable. Compensation won't solve the problem you're talking about and will just result in less americans who are on the brink of the NFL signing up here. It's not like the NFL is begging these guys to come to camp. They'll just wait out CFL contracts or move on to the next player rather than pay for a CFL guy.

on the flip...then they'd never get a shot as the guys that came up had nowhere to play....wont get a call sitting on their coach or delivering for Amazon

Wren't we compensated for Stick too one time?...
