Seems impossible they could keep all those guys when the Stamps can't keep their own top players, especially when most of the Stamps guys wouldn't even warrant the same amount of money of the Bombers all-star players listed. Heck when Bo was making Collaros money the Stamps could barely build a competitive roster. Then there's the Argos. Enough said.
Is there a chance that the Flames have imposed an internal cap in recent years due to the league faltering and the Stamps drawing flies in the stands compared to previous seasons? That's been my theory as to the amount of talent we let go and the lack of signings of free agents, while other teams around us appear able to load up.

And then they just say whatever they want publicly about being max cap spenders as fans have no ability to confirm like they can with publicly available NHL/NBA/NFL/MLB plays salaries and team cap breakdowns?
