Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

The CBA calls for a minimum of $110,000 per team in player marketing and promotional fees but the overall cap including those fees is $5.635 million, plus a share of any league revenue growth. $110k min is outside cap. You could spend $1million if your want. Key is this has to be earned, but teams ...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

The marketing and promotional fees I’ve seen in current CFL contracts are up to about $12,000 each, so that’s 24 appearances at $500 each or 120 hours at $100/hour, which isn’t onerous if it includes offseason appearances. The team salary cap figures in the latest CBA are somewhat confusing. Salari...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

110k marketing fund is a floor not a cap. Housing allowance just creates tax efficient salary. Bonuses are same. As above noted the Incentive for winning games is gone with xfl. Cfl players could easily include this. Salary spent per cfl team is in the 8 million range. Salary cap only includes 2/3r...

Wouldn't Strevler make more money and be a starter in the USFL vs a CFL backup?
Max salary in xfl/usfl is 50k

Cfl back up 150. Streveler 1b backup 200+

Re: Lions release Rhymes

$235-$240,000 in 2024 for rhymes as a lion according to Farhan.
Only 500 yds receiving last year.

This makes more sense now.

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Bo Levi on a one year deal? If he wants to take an 80% cut in pay........maybe. Given the lack of options Hamilton might just stick with him and Taylor Powell. Their combined salaries are reasonable for a starter/backup. The list of pending FA QBs is short and not overly appealing. If Evans is reti...

Re: Training camp or game in Victoria in 2024?

Heard the opponent will be the RedBlacks which makes sense as the league reverts back to a balanced schedule. Year 3 upcoming for Doman’s ownership and he is swinging for the fences to build the brand, taking his ”BC” Lions where they have never gone before. What other team in the league would be w...

Re: Lions at Elks Sept. 22, 2023

The game has changed over the past 10 years. Teams seem to deploy undersized linebackers to help out in pass defence. These linebackers are faster and are able to contain the smaller backs with their speed. (Especially if the smaller back hesitates before hitting the hole). If you want to be able t...

Re: logo/helmet history

I have many game worn BC Lions helmets including one from the 80’s. When I bought this one ( from a reputable online collectable store ) it came advertised as game worn. It has all of the same padding , stickers etc as my fully authentic one. It was hard to tell from the online pics that the colour...

Re: Thursday Night Football Scheduling Conundrum

Adding a team to the East Division would allow the league to shorten the season by two weeks and still give every team a bye. That would solve the early-season scheduling conflicts. I prefer starting the season later and ending it at the traditional time on the last Sunday in November. The league i...

Re: Thursday Night Football Scheduling Conundrum

Nice breakdown, Hambone. I agree it’s suicide to ho head to head with the Stanley Cup and NBA playoffs. The latter is especially true when the Raptors are in contention. It’s hard enough to get media attention on the CFL when there’s little competition, and that applies to drawing fans into stadium...
