Marc Boerigter back to the CFL

[RedRooster]

Wow, just checked out his NFL stats, and he was rank when he touched the ball! The VERY odd time he was given the chance.
1 KR for 44 yards. 20 catches for 8 touchdowns in his first year?

IIRC he was mostly a Red Zone receiver with the Chiefs.

So it's better to be an NFL 52nd man than a star in the CFL money wise? If that's the case, I'm surprised more guys don't just ride the pine in the NFL and pick up a paycheck rather than be a star in the CFL.

Its way better in the NFL. Minimum wage in the NFL is probably more than 95% of the players make in the CFL. Next year, the rookie minimum wage (it goes up for every year of experience) will be about $300,000 US in the NFL. The average CFL player probably makes about $60,000 and the CFL cap is under $4 million for the entire team! Ricky Williams got paid good money because of his ability to draw fans and got $245,000 Canadian I think. He made less than an NFL rookie! A roster spot in the NFL is like a lottery ticket and dream for many.

No way.
