CFL's number 1 pick?!? Super Bowl.

you remember that runningback we picked up a few years back who was the #1 pick in the CFL?

 

can't remember his name. i think some team up there even traded their whole draft for the #1 spot or something. not sure he even made it through training camp.

[Ivan The Awesome]

We're signing a lot of 'gay' players..

[Squirrel]

Some of these tryout guys can be great players.  Dont knock them til they play.

 

Cameron Wake comes to mind.

Jamall Lee? He made it to end of pre-season and he even got a TD in the last game.

 

His CFL career didn't last very long, either. He retired last year.

 

I expect McGloin to be signed as well.

I wonder what the #1 overall pick in the CFL would get contract wise? Not sure I would give that up without a decent chance of making the team.

 

Also, Brendon Ayanbedejo approves of these signings.

I live in Canada and you literally cant pay me to watch CFL football.

I saw Came Wake already mentioned but Brandon Browner spent his fair share of time here before making the Seahawks team.

[FreeArmanti]

Sorry Cam*

[MrBubba]

So will that be three kickers under contract?

Not much money to be made in the CFL. Unless your a quarterback, most guys work in the off season. I believe Casey Printers was given a contract of 3 years at 500,000 a season and at the time that was a huge deal. If this kid doesnt make the panthers, he can come back up and rejoin the team that drafted him.

[Kuech the Sneak]

The guard for Saskatchewan makes 500,000 a year I think and he's one of the highest paid guys

I recall Jamall Lee saying how he hoped to stick with the practice squad since NFL PS players still get paid more than what he would have earned as the CFL no. 1 pick.
