TORONTO --The Canadian Football League announced today that it has fined the Edmonton Eskimo Football Club $10,000.00 for violating the league's tampering rules when signing free agent Odell Willis.
As outlined in the league's by-laws, CFL tampering rules state:
A coach, manager, trainer, player, officer, executive or any other person connected, directly or indirectly, with a Member Club is prohibited from:
(d) directly or indirectly through an agent or by public or private statement or inference, contacting or negotiating with
(ii) any player who is under contract to, on the Negotiation List, or Suspension List, or Retired List, or otherwise the property of, another Member Club
i) makes the Riders look whiny and petulant for reporting this... especially after boasting all week about getting Foley to replace Willis.
ii) makes Eskie GM Ed Hervey look like a noob for getting caught doing something that everyone else does.
