DR. CFL Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 That was an argument for Steele making an objective decision about where he might play. I understand he is from Winnipeg and we know geography can be a huge influence on where a player plays but there are other factors that players weigh in as well.

I think he makes a pretty good point. EDM looks like they are set to be a contender for a few years. WPG, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Back in 2010 the Grey Cup winning players earned an extra $22,800 throughout the 3 week playoffs. The losers in the Grey Cup took home $14,800. Teams going out in each of the prior rounds would go down from there. Don't know if it has gone up since with the new TV deal.

Dr. Blue Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 $3,400 for semi final participation or first place bye. $3,600 division final participation. $8,000 Grey Cup finalist $16,000 Grey Cup winner. So Rich was pretty much bang on with his 2010 numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR. CFL Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Those numbers aren't cumulative. They are based on the final outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taynted_Fayth Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Is that lessened if the team your on only plays the east or west final and gc? Almost seems better to strive for a home semi game (2nd place finish) than 1st strictly from a monetary stand point from players perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you get paid even though you don't play. Taynted_Fayth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
