KeeSean Johnson emerging as a top Riders receiver
7h ago
Roughriders receiver KeeSean Johnson's success isn't a surprise to his teammates.
Is $700,000 worth it?
That is the talk of the CFL for top quarterbacks Mike Reilly and Bo Levi Mitchell; they’ll command top dollar to put a team over the top.
While it’s still likely Bo stays in Calgary and rumours grow Mike Reilly is going to B.C., it seems there is a debate that $700,000 may be too much to pay.
The salary would be a big increase to Mike Reilly’s $550,000 he made in 2018.
A $700,000 investment means your quarterback is going to make a fair chunk of your team’s cap with 50 or so other players still to pay.
But the question was, is it worth it? When you look at the Grey Cup Champions in the last decade, it may help find the answer.
Bo Levi Mitchell, Ricky Ray and Anthony Calvillo all have two titles, Henry Burris, Mike Reilly, Darian Durant and Travis Lulay round out the other winners.
The fact you don’t see a Trent Dilfer on that list tells you why QB salaries are rising faster than anybody else in the league. So yes, $700,000 for Reilly or Bo would be worth it.
