Ted Hellard's take of the Stamps and the cap!

Ted Hellard president and owner of the Stampeders and one of the main players in creating the cap:
Was on tsn rarely do i comment on postings but this one is a little much...extensions are just that, a lengthening of a players contract, dollar amounts are not discussed...each team chooses its own path with respect to player continuity, we choose to make commitments to areas we feel solidify our core where possible...we understand that in 2007 we will be under an enforceable cap...and plan to stick to it, to be honest long term contracts allow you to do less guesswork when planning future player salaries and the cap...just because this organization chooses to solidify our roster does not mean in 2007 we will be abusing the cap, and if we do we will pay the price the cap enforces, something we do not plan on doing...So sorry to those of you who believe we will not meet the cap in 2007, time will tell but don't bet your mortgage on us being the big spenders in 2007....
