    Lots of former CFL players have been the among the best during NFL preseason and most of them are still being cut. Just goes to show that high draft picks will get more chances even if they're not the best players on their teams.

    Or that preseason games that mostly involve guys who do not have veteran status are not the primary way players are judged.

    The NFL pre-season is getting so pointless, it’s ridiculous. I understand resting your starters, but they hardly play at all now. Off season training is more than ever and that’s a big factor. What’s the point of having hopefuls play all four games, (some outstanding like Singleton or Williams in Buffalo) and get cut anyway? Waste of everyone’s time, including fans. No wonder no one likes to watch or attend the games anymore.

    People make fun at CFL pre-season. I would argue it’s actually more important. Players actually play their way on or off CFL teams. Stakes seem way higher.

    The NFL owners realize it's pointless.The situation is coming to a head in this NFL CBA negotiation.There is too much money to be had to not go to an 18 game season.I am not looking forward to what those consequences will be for the CFL and the Argonauts.
