Jacquie Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 stupid TiCats. a time will come when we'll regret them having opened this door. I doubt that. Wouldn't surprise me if they brought back the option year window in the next CBA which is basically all they've done here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Signing & playing are 2 different things.... Not a fan. I kinda hope he fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueandgold Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'm surprised the fact that Kent Austin is a notorious flake himself, yet refusing to let a player go to the NFL which is in essence a gigantic promotion isn't more of a topic. These guys have short careers that can end in instant, I definitely don't agree with the way Williams went about his business but who can blame him? He could've played out his 50K contract, blew out his ACL and his career could be over. Would the Ticats support him? Not a chance in hell. I didn't particularly like when Taman held Kyries Hebert here instead of going to the Bengals, and I don't particularly like this. I'm definitely not wishing failure upon the guy like everyone here seems to be, its really petty IMO. Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 He knew what he was signing. He used a loophole to get out of it. He sat almost the entire year. Fulfill his contractual obligations then go. Nope, I have no reason to cheer for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPuDS Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 that was quick, lol. guess there is a demand for him.. Or his agent had already started negotiating before his contract situation was resolved yea this too.. he probably had it drawn up and as soon as he was considered an FA signed on the dotted line..

Fulfill his contractual obligations then go. Nope, I have no reason to cheer for him. I've seen a CFL contract and all I will say is that if that letter was anything like a contract, I could totally buy the argument that it wasn't clear enough. The player contracts are confusing as hell and I don't mean because they're filled with legal terminology someone like me wouldn't understand.

The letter was terrible, looked like someone who had no clue how to write, nevermind write something that is supposed to meet contractual obligations.
