CFL off-season thread

[jstewismybastardson]

what the hold up? the $$ only? Im sure everything else is pretty decent. what is the players demands for a raise and what is the owners?

Flory says the CFLPA came off its original demand of revenue sharing, offering a compromise it called a "Revenue Protection Clause."

It allowed for a fixed cap, starting at $5.8 million and rising three per cent annually, for a minimum for two years.

After the second year, if there was an increase in revenue on a league-wide basis of more than $12 million, excluding Grey Cup, the parties would renegotiate the cap or the collective bargaining agreement would be jointly terminated at the end of that season.

The union also proposed a one-time bonus to veteran players of a minimum compensation of $15,000 each.

The players' association was originally asking for a salary cap of $6.24 million.

@ArashMadani
Veteran #CFL player: "To get what we really want (from a CBA), we have to sit out six games or more. and then play catch up... It's a mess." The end game on the CFLPA side may have another coup atop the players' union. Many are furious with how this played out. #CFL
