Time to bring on Shuler so people can watch them light it up together.
Now to figure out if there's any way to watch CFL down here. Is it on ESPN or do I need streaming sites to watch?

Not to be Debbie Downer but the HD article leaves as many unanswered questions as it really tells us anything about this "opportunity."
First, the information came from the agent and not the club. The agent said it's a 2-year deal worth "close" to $100k. How close is "close?" $70 k, $80k, $90k? It sounds to me like the contract is the total amount for 2 years and not the amount per year. He could be playing for $35-40k per year.
What part of this contract, if any, is guaranteed? Many pro contracts are contingent on making the team and Montreal has brought in several quarterback prospects for this season.
Finally, does anybody know if players are paid in US dollars or Canadian coin?
My point is that this deal may not be the slam dunk that some assume unless he makes the squad.
It appears that the CFL minimum salary is $80k.
what are you talking about? the minimum salary for 2015 is $51,000 CAD, which is about $42,000 USD. Next year, the minimum will be $52,000 CAD or almost $43,000 USD. So, if he makes the roster this year, and next, and is active for every single game, he'll pocket at least $85,000 USD.

"The minimum player salary as dictated by the Collective Bargaining Agreement is $51,000 in 2015, incremented by $1,000 per year for the remaining three years of the current CBA"
So happy for him. Didn't realize he had a rookie card out from Upper Deck.
Dude, you just got yourself a site regular in this guy!Thanks, it's actually my own article (and site).
LeFevour and Skelton were added in 2015. The Als also drafted South Alabama QB Brandon "Air Canada" Bridge.
IMHO, Cato will beat out Bridge and the QB who can complete over 65% will win the job since rules allow only three downs to get a first down.
Bridge (who is a Canadian citizen) is the issue. CFL rules limit teams to 24 non-Canadians on the 44 man roster, limit them to 3 QBs, and require 7 (of the 12) players on every play to be Canadians. Thus Cato has to a LOT better than Bridge to be worth the trouble.
Minimum wage in the CFL is $50,000 for rookies. Average wage is ~$80,000. That is very good money coming straight out of college. You can make a living in the Canadian Football League doing what you love.
Quarterbacks are ALL considered imports regardless of whether or not they are Canadian. There are actually very few Canadian quarterbacks in the CFL these days because of this.
Good luck to Cato. We all know he can ball, I think he can do well for himself.
