RICKY TO MAKE $500,000, NOT THE REPORTED $240,000

no question, CFL needs a strong cap, unless you want the league to be merged with the NFL in the next 9 seasons.

Wasn't it told in an article that Ricky's base salary would be 240 000$, but he'd have incentives - mostly linked to the Argos attendance - that could help him reach the 500K$ surroundings?

Can't remeber where I read that. Anybody?

no, argo president was on PTS and said his contract is between the reported 240-250K WITHOUT incentives.

CFL commissioner Tom Wright says the running back's official contract is worth much less than $500,000, the amount reported by Sun Media this week.

"The contract that I registered was not that," Wright, in Winnipeg for a Grey Cup event, said yesterday. "All I can tell you is it was not remotely close to that."

Numerous other reports have pegged Williams' salary at around $240,000.

as i said, steve simmons is a liar.
