Part of the problem is the majority of American players do regard the
#CFL
as a "third-tier league", thereby not respecting the rules in place. Agents & Management have to do a better job of communicating contractual obligations to the players coming north.

2024 will be Willie Jefferson's 10th season in the league, fifth with Winnipeg, a city where he & his family now make their permanent home. A true case for why

Time for

to designate 1 of 3 QB spots for a National. Argument of pro-level talent lacking at the USports level no longer holds true. If the league can mandate a Global player on every active roster, it can also do the same for Canadian QBs by committing to their future.
Can we just take a step back and acknowledge that this current generation of U SPORTS quarterbacks is SPECIAL

- Fagnan
- Rooker
- Hillock
- Desjardins
- Elgersma
- Tachinski
And we got 2 more years with most of these guys, such a strong class

It should be noted that, I believe, at 37, Corey Mace becomes the youngest Canadian-born Head Coach in
@CFL
history, just a year younger than Danny Maciocia when the latter assumed the role with
@GoElks
in 2005.

Corey Mace - 37 year old HC of the Saskatchewan Roughriders
Played for Calgary from 2010-2015 winning a GC in 2014
Stampeders DL coach from 2016-2021 winning a GC in 2018
Argos DC 2022-2023 winning a GC in 2022.
What a career so far for Mace.

Manny Arceneaux needs only eight catches to surpass Adarius Bowman (652) for 15th place in all-time reception. He is also 723 yards away from reaching 10K for his career, which would make him the 19th player to do so, behind Jermaine Copeland (10 014). Best wishes!
