Team In Financial Trouble?
Report Suggests Team Running Low on Money

A report posted on TSN.ca today suggests that the Toronto Thunderbirds franchise might be running low on money.

The report suggests that the team is strapped for cash, which is why they haven't shown any interest in negotiating extensions with any of their upcoming free agents. In order to offer signing bonuses to players, the team needs to have that cash on hand.

The team has several big name free agents upcoming in the 2016 offseason, including LT Cordy Glenn, RB CJ Spiller and WR Randall Cobb

GM Doug Flutie would not comment on the allegations directly, saying only that the team is "exploring all avenues with upcoming free agents"
