deflated balls Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 ? I only ask the question because should we be investing more money on the defence? I don't think Ray would help this team at all. Seriously! Have you been watching the team this year? Willy cant be depended on to play 18 games in a season. But again the point of the post is should we be spending probably $250,000on a defensive player. So you think putting an aging QB that has missed large chunks of two of the last three years because of injury behind this putrid o-line would improve the situation? Ray would need to be scraped off the turf within a game or two! Read the bolded section please. One player figures to have a long career anchoring the defense and the other will be retiring in the next year or two. Rather obvious don't you think?

Blueandgold Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 If price was the same. Would you take Henoc Muamba or Ricky Ray? I only ask the question because should we be investing more money on the defence? Henoc without a shadow of a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray has missed around 20 games due to injury since 2012. As for spending that much for a defensive player, Henoc is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 With almost the entire second half of the season remaining, only one team in the league has less than a million dollars to spend. Not exactly money well spent...... From CFLCapGeek: Win $945K Mon $1,253M Tor $1,398M Sas $1,533M Ott $1,564M Ham $1,699M Cal $1,800M Edm $1,975M BC $2,127M That's what I saw...

bb1 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hmm I wonder even though he is hurt wouldn't it make more sense to throw that cash after Bret Jones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 If Jones actually becomes available I think we might go after him too. Ben Henan too. Where is this myth that you can't have more than a couple players making big money coming from. But I think Jones and heenan are more off season type signings.

deflated balls Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Actually, the site is quite useful. Spoke to Wally Buono about it last month and he admitted it was indeed fairly accurate, although not precise.

So going by that data we should hire Edmonton's GM, as Mike Reilly is the only guy on their team making over $100,000. We need that negotiator to get 90% of our team on league minimum contracts. BC doesn't pay any national player more than 71k. We get that you love everything Stampeders and hate everything Bombers, but at least try hate the Bombers for legitimate reasons. Hell according to that site Cornish is the only National player Calgary pays above league minimum. If anyone wants an excel file of all the data from that site pm me and I'll e-mail it to you so you can see for yourself how incomplete it is. It's basically their website but in excel. Now i'm looking at their sourcing for the sourced contracts. So Zach Anderson is listed at $51,000 and sourced. The source is an old cjob article saying he signed, but no reference to salary. So even when they say a contract is sourced it's a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I already acknowledged some of the contracts may be wrong but I think overall as a guide it may be somewhat accurate. What about it is accurate? If i filter on active players it comes up with 415. 359 of which make league minimum salary. So 87% of the league makes minimum salary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Fact is, the site is garbage. It's even more useless because it enables fans to create a fictitious argument. I would estimate roughly 10% of the information they have listed is even somewhat correct. There's no point to sourcing it. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
