I'm just curious because I've heard conflicting information on it. One person says that an offensive lineman would make $100k/year, plus get a $1m pension after 5 years service in the league. Then another stated that most make average Joe salary, and some even have other jobs.
haha yea that's true.
well to be fair, on Calgarypuck $100k/year is average joe salary
people who like to downplay the CFL probably would lean more to saying oh they all have to get second jobs. minimum salary is $41k for a rookie, so it's not alot, and they may have to get second jobs, but most are making enough to be ok while they are playing, although they need to get jobs after. I haven't heard about the $1m pension, but that's not bad for 5 years of service if true.
