If Ambrosie can make a good deal with the NFL network it could happen. That’s probably on the upper end of what we could hope for but it’s not out of the question. Here’s hoping!

I wonder if there’s a way that the CFL and CFLPA could come to an agreement on this point now, ahead of the main contract talks? If we went back to the old rule it would protect the Argos in this situation as well. The Argos could re-sign Wilder to a new 2 year contract worth, just as a placeholder, $150k. BUT the new contract would contain the NFL option year clause with the bonus provision, so Wilder would get his money this year, and if there was an NFL team willing to give him say a $50k or $75k signing bonus next year then he could go to the NFL, but if not or if he got cut then his rights would still belong to Toronto for another year, which would give them an opportunity to re-sign him again.

Doubling the league’s revenue? seriously? how do you do that?
Since it’s a gate driven league that would mean almost a doubling in attendance which would only possible in Toronto and maybe Vancouver.
No chance of an increase in the TV contract, that’s locked in until 2022.
How about a salary cut and a cut in the number of coaches and players.
Doubling of revenues is impossible…………..

I guess you did not read the article. Popp said no raise without adding duration. Why would they?

Another entitled Snowflake.

The Argos should do one of two things:

1. Let him go as who wants someone on your team that doesn’t want to be there OR who is fine with being there but is really stressing over not making money and risking injury.

2. Make him an offer that fits his skill and contribution level based on how he played when given a chance.

For all those screaming – he had a contract – how many of you would be pissed if you had a chance for big bucks and your employer blocked you from leaving.
