The CFL needs to raise the salary cap because it is losing too many players, from retirements to no-shows. The minimum salary negatively compounded by the 20% cut should be adjusted to inflation, to rise to about $85,000. The salary cap itself should rise to about $7.5 million per team and there should be a two-player per team exemption to allow for the signing of marquee players by strong teams. The salary-cap-floor teams shouldn’t be allowed to drag the rest of the league down. If they want to spend the salary cap floor that’s their choice but strong teams should be allowed to invest more in player personnel.
