Great Posting Jon!!!!!!
I've been waiting for someone to vindicate the Argos spending and
you did just that.
Not counting Flutie (Who's over paid, but that's another story), it
seems the Argos spent less on the rest of it's team than most other
teams.
I added up only 2...Edmonton and Saskatchewan...because these
are the sources of the most complaining about the Argos spending.
(No I didn't forget you Ron in BC)
The Argos spent significantly less than Edmonton and Saskatchewan.
The Argos could have paid a QB $250,000 as part of the cap and still
be under those teams.
So my point is made ...again...and I thank you Jon for your assistance.
Ron,
It's easy to say a teams over the cap, it's another thing to prove it.

I wondered about that myself, and was also interested in the fact
that some players who were with teams for only short periods were
listed according to their FULL SEASON salaries. Thus, I have to
wonder if adding the contracts of all players on a team reflects
the real situation in which players come and go. Also, and I
think this may be what you are commenting on Bill, if a player is
injured before a certain point in the season, isn't their
contract considered to be no longer guaranteed for the rest of
the schedule?
There are plenty of questions posed about that list, so I don't
think someone should be inferring that one team was closer to its
budget than another. There is too much missing information to be
certain of that.
