I won't be surprised if someone plays XFL / USFL and then comes north for the CFL season. Kind of what they talked about when the alliance discussions were taking place.
Tre Watson was signed recently. Canadian dollar is not doing us any favors right now at .73
Same issue being discussed in the "This has got to Stop" thread.
Being one of the few employers of professional football players the CFL has a big advantage in player negotiations. Any player standing up will be quickly black balled from participation. Respect and consideration are never part of the equation.
