I don't know how you could administer such a process. Every player who attends training camp is under contract. Does that mean all 90 are guaranteed? A team starts the season with 46 players on the active roster under contract.and 10 on the PR under a Practice Roster Agreement. Lose a couple guys to injury or want to make a change? The guy coming off the practice squad is now under a standard players contract
I guess that means they're guaranteed too? When the injured guy returns now there are 2 players under guaranteed contract for the same roster spot. Never mind the offseason during the season most teams will have between 60 and 85 players play at least 1 game meaning they were under contract. Should the team have to honour every one?
100% respect your position on the matter.
In rebuttal I might say that other sports and leagues have found ways to deal with some of the issues you raise. I will stand by my position that eliminating underperforming executives would improve the quality of the game over time.
I'm a bit old skool and prefer a nod and a handshake to any agreement I make and truthfully have had a hard time in the past with rules that apply to me but not to others. I just think the CFL could do better in handling the relationship with the players that would reflect in a more positive manner with the fan base that in return would benefit the league. The ingredients are there imo.
