Access to five-player taxi squads, 14-game schedule a couple of more than 19 amendments agreed to by CFLPA, league

CFL teams will have one less Global player in 2021 but access to five-player taxi squads when they resume play later this summer.

“I think the most important part is getting it amended and getting our members back to work,” Ramsay said during a conference call. “That was our focus right from the onset. Essentially, the CFL is asking Ottawa for the same exemptions it provided for the NHL. The federal government waived its mandatory 14-day quarantine period for players acquired by Canadian NHL teams from American clubs “under national interest grounds” prior to the league’s April 12 trade deadline.

“We will collaborate in terms of things that might happen like scrimmaging with various teams. All in all, flexibility is something that guys understand. It’s not an ideal year but we will work through and be happy to get back on the field.” “I think everybody understands the ramifications of not having a season,” Elimimian said. “Our job is to put together the best package for players to get back on to the football field but ultimately they have to make that decision.
