    I'd say it's beyond remote. Under the current CBA, the most he can sign for is $65,000/year for two years. Can't see any way he agrees to that after making something like triple that amount for the past three years on NFL practice rosters.

    Perhaps, but there are plenty of Canadian players who have come home from lengthy NFL tours to play in the CFL; Stefan Charles with Ottawa this season is a recent example and he made way more than Hunter in the NFL since he actually played quite a bit. Some guys - maybe not a lot of them who got the NFL shot - might still have the desire to play football (and better chance to actually play than sitting on an NFL PR), and maybe some pride in playing in the pro league in their own country.

    Of course the CBA does expire in May. I'm sure the PA will push to have this amended.
    It's us vs the rest of the country
