Johnny Manzeil and Vernon Adams Fighting it Out for Starting QB for Montreal

Sounds like, with his team 1-5, Vernon is having a rough go of it. And he apparently didn't like it when Alouettes fans erupted in favor of bringing in Manziel, and then had to apologize:

league minimum is $50,000
Average player in league is paid $80,000
each team has a salary cap of about $5.2 mil.

So, Matt Ryan could pay the entire league's salaries.

NFL has 32 teams, CFL has 9.

Thank you! I often wondered what kind of money they made up there. Not much I see...

I believe your league minimum is in Canadian $ so it is actually less in US $. A year ago the CFL league minimum was roughly 1/10th of the NFL in US $ (about $45,000 versus $465,000).
 
It might just be my summer high talking but man do I think the CFL is entertaining. Anyone else? Haven't been able to watch a ton of games this year but the games seem shorter and less rigid, 3 downs is interesting, a rouge is always fun, plus it's like a league built from FCS all stars!

I always enjoyed watching it for a change of pace...and it fills a nice void until college ball starts.

They were talking about this today on the DP show and they played career salary:
NFL backup qb Chase Daniel
VS.
CFL Starter Ricky Ray (yes, him!)

Daniel won, something like almost 30million vs. 5million

Lulay makes about $450K a season (according to the Google machine)
 
Heisman Trophy winner leaves A&M early and ends up on the worst team in the NFL, then gets bounced from the NFL. Not one of the other 31 teams would take a chance on him. Now, he ends up with the worst, or one of the worst teams in the CFL. Will be interesting to watch, but I don't see this ending well for him. Having Sherman as HC is to his advantage, though.

Head to head Friday, 5:30 P.M. MDT on ESPN2, Hamilton at Montreal. Masoli v Manziel.

Extactly. Yes, extactly. This is from a man who is definitely connected to Montana football. Not removed. Told you I'd have your back.
