Interesting Read From J-C

The Leader-Post pulled off quite the coup when they convinced Jason Clermont to write a weekly column for them. Its something he did in Vancouver with the Lions and he has continued on with what is a must-read every week. He should do some writing for Riderville instead of the clown they have doing it now.........I digress!!

If you haven't read this week's installment, Clermont talks about teams making possible roster Here's his paragraph on that...

The timing of the bye week this year allows a few teams to evaluate their rosters and possibly make some moves during the week off before Article 15 of the CFL Collective Bargaining Agreement comes into effect.
Article 15 deals with the release of a veteran player, and states that a veteran of six years is entitled to his full compensation after the ninth game (a five-year veteran after the 10th, a four-year vet after the 11th and all other veteran players after the 14th game). With the bye week coming after the eighth game, there exists the possibility of some roster movement, much like what was done with Marcus Crandell last season.

I know there are some out there that believed this was going to happen to Scott Schultz so he decided to make the move on his terms instead of the clubs. You have to wonder if a veteran is going to be axed though to save some room under the SMS. Looking at the lineup the way it stands today, I don't think there will be, but you just never know. Perhaps there are some guys wearing green and white that are a little nervous when they head back to work on Monday. We'll see if the Rider braintrust has anything up their sleeve very soon I would think.
