Floyd Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Where is he finding the $$ to extend Getzlaf, Bagg, Labatte and Picard? Everyone was already suspecting he was over the cap but I guess not... or is he maybe backloading contracts to scare away Ottawa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Where is he finding the $$ to extend Getzlaf, Bagg, Labatte and Picard? Everyone was already suspecting he was over the cap but I guess not... or is he maybe backloading contracts to scare away Ottawa? There was some speculation on Twitter that these contracts may not have included signing bonuses, so they would not put any additional money towards this year's cap and would make their contracts unattractive to Ottawa. Of course, in Labatte and Getzlaf's cases, the Ottawa factor is irrelevant because they will obviously be protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyenegecha Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Do their agents have an idea as to how the new tv contract will affect the cap? Cause if they don't, that's absolutely crazy to recommend your clients sign an extension before knowing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Duane Ford has also speculated that there might be some ridiculous contracts signed then renegotiated after later to a lower salary, to make their contracts not favourable to Ottawa.

There's not going to be a lot of guys willing to wait that long. Onyenegecha and DR. CFL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 I think you'll see all teams do this to Ottawa. Not just Saskatchewan. Mo Price signed yesterday in Calgary. There's a feeling that the draft is already too favourable to the redblacks. . The other 8 won't give up any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline_x Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Big deal on the big back end deals. The contract aren't guaranteed so Ottawa could cut the players later or renegotiate before having to pay them out. Ottawa should pick the best players and deal with the fallout (cap) later. Payouts can always 9 game a player that is not bending to your will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payouts can always 9 game a player that is not bending to your will. A player has to agree to be put on the 9 game IR. Ottawa could cut that player and that player could then sign with another team as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Wasn't it sort of taman's MO to sign guys either with big bonuses or backload them with a "win now" attitude? Gives you a window of a couple of years before crap hits the fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When "Canada's team" does it then it's not really cheating cause everyone loves the riders and wants them to win. iso_55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams know the consequences of overspending and the bigger risk of cheating. Stop hating the winners. Overspending isn't cheating? Maybe in your world. it isn't cheating since it isn't overspending. it is completely allowable within the rules that a team spends more than the SMS maximum... they just have to be willing to accept the punishment of forfeiting draft picks if they do it. said this last time they won a GC (also by exceeding the SMS... funny that's the only way they've managed to win lately...) but here is the Truth According to bluto: if ever a team is close to winning a GC and they need another player of two to cover a personnel hole (because of injuries or whatever) and they fail to do so because they aren't willing to exceed the SMS... then that team is managed by a loser who i would never want in charge of my team.
