CFL teams didn’t play in 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic. The league is hopeful for a 2021 campaign, having already released a complete schedule.
Before the ’20 season was cancelled, CFL teams staged a Canadian draft. The league plans to hold a 2021 Canadian draft which would create a situation where two draft classes could compete for roster positions at training camp.
The CFL’s ’21 salary cap is set at $5.35 million. The collective-bargaining agreement between the league and CFL Players’ Association also establishes a floor or minimum a franchise must spend on player salaries of $4.75 million.
With CFL free agency slated to open Feb. 9, teams have been predictably busy either signing players to extensions or having them restructure existing deals.
