It's not a hard or fast 'no' right now.

I can see $150 million in lost revenue, but not true combined losses. Asking for $30 million before the season has even started is premature. If it’s negotiations, might as well start high. Giving only what the league needs to survive is the answer, which still includes all teams experiencing financial hardship.

Exactly. I can't see any team losing more than 5MM if there is no season. Seeing as how many teams have already laid off a lot of staff, I can't even see it being that high. For the Argos, that might actually be less in losses than 2019. Sad to say, but true.
