The waiver system was pretty useless as released players could still sign in the NFL if they wanted to reject being claimed by a CFL team. I'm not sure what you mean by this??.......when a player was put on waivers, so was his existing contract.....any team putting in a claim assumed that contract ...

I wonder how many more of these surprises are buried in the fine print. Yep....this undeniable need of the CFL to treat it's fans like mushrooms. I would really LOVE to hear an explanation why the league finds this SO necessary.....I find it insulting and disrespectful that they claim to be cogniza...

It appears another of the "hidden gems" of the new CBA has been uncovered by LU.....the elimination of the waiver rule (in most cases?????)

You didn't read it hard enough.....he wants snot bubbles out your nose and gas out your ass.

Ryan Cave on the practice roster. 6'5" 335, International tackle Interesting about Ryan Cave. I looked him up. In college he was listed at 6-4, 360 lbs. Must have joined Weight Watchers. :wink: Seems to have played guard in college.... Stephon Heyer looked interesting, with some NFL experience...

Isn't it time to bite the bullet and move Olafioye to LT......something they should have done in TC?

Arash Madani @ArashMadani · 3h The #Bombers announce Korey Banks is on the suspended list. Not released. Money he's already collected leading to former, not latter. Banks handling situation badly, but a shame if his career ends this way. MT @ScottBilleck: O’Shea: Korey is suspended, has gone home. #...

Decision will be made later Arash Madani ‏@ArashMadani 1h A key reason the #Bombers may be apprehensive to grant Korey Banks his release: Winnipeg paid him around $60,000 up front to ...

With the new rules prohibiting players on the six-game from practising with the team for the first four weeks, can the Lions retroactively place Lulay on the list if he has been practising? There are so many questions that haven't been answered because the CBA hasn't been made public. IIRC, there's...

For anyone watching the TSN season preview (followed the top 50), I'm sure their mouths fell open when Matt Dunigan opined that Travis Lulay's career is over !! In his opinion, the shoulder injuries are not something that Lulay can come back from. On this board, I've stated my opinion that Lulay is ...

What I find frustrating is how little discussion there has been amongst the lions coaching staff regarding Jabar Westerman and his role in satisfying the ratio. He does not have to start but can be rotated in so that Torri Williams (who has looked absolutely phenomenal) can slide into the safety po...

I don't think that anybody expects him to sing the praises of the Lions. Just be a little more respectful. It is easy to sing the praises of your current team without saying anything negative about your former squad and a consummate professional should get that. In the heat of the moment, things ge...
