But if it wasn't in the contract........how do you explain Allan clearing waivers without any other team claiming him........the guy played one weekend for the Stamps, then the following weekend for the Rams.Hambone wrote:In Allen's case I doubt there was any fineprint.

My guess with Allan.........when the Stamps went to register the contract, the league office rubber stamped "Approved" across it without reading the fineprint..........doubt that will happen again.
The practise of the AFL and the CFL having the same player under contract at the same time is also a slippery slope that the league needs to get fixed ASAP.
If he's NFL calibre, it doesn't make sense that another CFL GM wouldn't have tried to get him.......particularly if he has an option year in his contract.
