$68 000 to come to Canada and play pro football. James Wilder spoke out why this will always be a problem and got roasted for it, however he was simply telling it how it is.

I honestly don’t get your post. Nobody forced him to sign the contract.

True, nothing forced. I only used his example in relation to why many players never show. They sign near desperation contracts and then realize it’s not worth it. Although the Argos had some nice hits this year like Oakman and Ray, who likely also played this year for peanuts.

To me, American players that come up as CFL rookies should play for the league minimum. They are trying to use the league as a stepping stone back to the NFL. Once they have proven themselves in the league, and if they decide that the CFL is where they are to stay, then that is when they should get paid more.
