This is legit; even if this stand off doesn’t end up helping Wilder. The timing is pretty good in that the old CBA ends May2019. So adding this topic to be considered in the new CBA is a good thing for players going forward.

Or, they could tear up his contract, sign him to a 2 year $600,000 deal, then cut him before he gets paid.

Franz. League minimum is $450,000. He earns $125,000 if he makes the practice roster. He is protected against injuries.

Argos offer is $45,000 not guaranteed and no compensation if injured. Already suffered on concussion last year.

He doesn’t have an agent. He can’t afford one. But if you were his agent, how would you advise him?

Perhaps there is some fake news here?

It seems to me that more experience/success/’film’ would be a feather in his cap; I suspect his agent is steering him awry.

.
.
1, why come into draft as a jr ?
2. how was he paid as a college player ? he still had 4 kids
