The roster on the website lists 99. I estimate they still need to cut 2 more to get to 85. Possibly they have an injury or two that takes care of that. Amongst the 99: Injured & won't be in main camp - Hatcher, Hinsperger, Lee III Non-counters - Una, Tieide, Beaulieu, Marchant, Ganyi, Ringland,...

No Marcus Sayles on 1st unit? I wonder if there's been a number change. I don't recall seeing 14 out there but I'll check tomorrow. I couldn't understand playing a raw rookie at HB. No way sayles isn’t starting HB. One question is which side he plays until TJ lee is health in fall. Maybe they play ...

Probably few more injured vets that won’t be out past Tuesday .. next cut down is in 4 days. 2 real practices and a walkthrough.

Yes, that's another factor. There are still some padded practices in camp but I don't even try to evaluate line play. The lack of contact also makes it tough to evaluate running backs. The real test of the roster comes in the first few games of the regular season. When the CFL went from a 16 game s...

Looks like rookie camp starts with walkthru Wednesday night at 5pm.
I guess the main purpose of rookie camp is cut 15 of 50 guys before vets report.

Great job by lions mgmt. love he is coming home. .. but a little levity Remember Vaughn Martin ? Similar to Christian was a stud nose tackle for San Diego for 6 years. Came back to Montreal .. last 7 games before being cut. CFL is a really good league. Just adding Brett Boyko levity until we see him...

Most these type of signings are just for rookie camp so they can run scrimmages etc. just going to Kamloops for 3 days.

If makes it through rookie camp, join 3rd group for reps through camp.

The CBA calls for a minimum of $110,000 per team in player marketing and promotional fees but the overall cap including those fees is $5.635 million, plus a share of any league revenue growth. $110k min is outside cap. You could spend $1million if your want. Key is this has to be earned, but teams ...

The marketing and promotional fees I’ve seen in current CFL contracts are up to about $12,000 each, so that’s 24 appearances at $500 each or 120 hours at $100/hour, which isn’t onerous if it includes offseason appearances. The team salary cap figures in the latest CBA are somewhat confusing. Salari...

110k marketing fund is a floor not a cap. Housing allowance just creates tax efficient salary. Bonuses are same. As above noted the Incentive for winning games is gone with xfl. Cfl players could easily include this. Salary spent per cfl team is in the 8 million range. Salary cap only includes 2/3r...

Wouldn't Strevler make more money and be a starter in the USFL vs a CFL backup?

Max salary in xfl/usfl is 50k

Cfl back up 150. Streveler 1b backup 200+

$235-$240,000 in 2024 for rhymes as a lion according to Farhan.
Only 500 yds receiving last year.

This makes more sense now.

Bo Levi on a one year deal? If he wants to take an 80% cut in pay........maybe. Given the lack of options Hamilton might just stick with him and Taylor Powell. Their combined salaries are reasonable for a starter/backup. The list of pending FA QBs is short and not overly appealing. If Evans is reti...
