Why haven't we heard whether any teams have gone over the SMS and by how much?

I don't care about that as much as knowing how much of a profit the Bombers made this past season. Just wondering when the financials will be released.

The last 2 annual reports were released on April 7th and April 9th, respectively, so if that's any indication, we should hear about that any time now.

Bombers have sold out a lot of games over the recent past including all in 2025 IIRC. Safe to believe they made a very good profit. Nothing to worry about in that regard.

Plus hosting the Grey Cup. they wouldn't be giving out $1.5 million woth of football equipment to community teams if they were broke.

That was from the 50/50 proceeds.

The CFL released the draft order on March 31st which would indicate no team exceeded the cap by 100k or more.

Intelligent people assume....wouldn't put it past the CFL to announce cap penalties after the draft or something stupid. Can't waste anytime when there are 55 yard lines to remove from fields.

I wonder what it would take to get Edmontons pick or if it’s worth to trade with Ottawa to get the Winnipeg born center if he’s not in an nfl camp (he will be)

I wasn't expecting any team to lose a draft choice or to go over the SMS by any significant amount or at all.

OTOH it would be interesting to see the results and compare the SMS spend to the standings. The problem is we only see overages. Even that isn't a direct relationship to season ending roster. Money left could be spent re-signing players and that could include and overage

I'd like to see what each team spent after final game and then amount spent in December before free agency.

The CFL is not transparent at all. There is very little info released other than a team went over & by how much. It's a shitty system with communication that needs to be improved.

I’d suspect not enough people care and I’d also suspect most teams are with in thousands of dollars of each other in terms of money spent however injuries and circumstances like that may change things year to year. There’s a cap. I’d imagine most teams if not all are capped out. And if they aren’t they use that extra money on signings and bonus money likely. Teams spend their cap money differently. Some spread it out. Some go QB and receiver or 2 or 3. Some go heavy on D. Some like BC? I’m not sure how they aren’t over. Edmonton is shady also. On the other side of things I’m not sure the Argos are spending close to the cap tho.

Bombers post $12.1M profit in 2025. Excellent work and support by the fans selling out every game.
