OldTimeAFLGuy Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 ....Johnny Meatball out in the cold??................ CFL teams claim negotiating rights to Baker Mayfield, Lamar Jackson Kevin SeifertNFL Nation Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield and Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson were among 90 players revealed Tuesday to have been claimed by Canadian Football League teams. Both players are preparing for the NFL draft and are expected to be high selections. Neither is likely to enter the CFL. But if plans change in the coming years, Mayfield's rights belong to the Toronto Argonauts. Jackson's rights are owned by the British Columbia Lions. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/22516410/baker-mayfield-lamar-jackson-players-cfl-negotiation-list
K D Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Haha basically betting on them being NFL busts 2 2
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Wonder if they’ll reconsider gong the nfl route with this turn of events....
jimmy10 Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Joke’s on us. Pegual can’t have two sports teams in the same city AND simultaneously sign a QB who’s rights are claimed in two different professional football leagues on the same continent. 1

I did read that somewhere. Fine print though.
BuffaloBillyG Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 This is the obligatory "Jackson would do amazing in the CFL" post. Even though I don't watch CFL to know how their game is different. 1
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted February 21, 2018 Author Posted February 21, 2018 ...I knew it...Mayfield won't be at NFL Draft because he's booked on Air Canada!...where is Chapstick Chad to confirm??............... 1

Not sure why any QB with any talent would go there

These guys don't have to play in the NFL if they don't want to. Don't know why they wouldn't but that was what I was getting at. Similar to how Eli didn't want to play for SD and they traded him to NYG right after they drafted him. Edited February 21, 2018 by The Wiz

It's like comparing apples to Tim, the guy up the street that ate an apple last Tuesday. And once Eli was drafted his only option to play in the NFL is play for the Chargers (had a trade not been made) or sit out a year and potentially leave a ton of money on the table by re-entering the next draft. Bo Jackson went that route. Check out how many rounds he slipped in the second draft.
Mr. WEO Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 I've just claimed the throne of England for myself. Poor Canada.....

Again my point is if a guy is drafted by a team he doesn't want to play for they have other options. And Tim is a jerk. Still owes me for the bananas I bought him. 1

It is their master plan to sign more and more former NFL guys to then market themselves as a NFL team. Those Toronto fans would believe anything after watching Bills choke in the Rogers Center for those series games. 1
