Most people know that CFL players make well above the average Canadian salary. In some cases, the average CFL salary is $90,000 and can reach $200,000 for players in top paying positions like quarterback. But how much money do CFL players make? It all depends on the role and location. This blog post looks at recent data from the 2013 season to determine salaries for CFL players.
Introduction
The Canadian Football League, also known as the CFL, is the second-most watched sports league in Canada. While it may not have the same recognition in America as its southern neighbor, there’s some serious money to be made playing football north of the border. Or at least, that’s what I used to think until I started looking into the salaries for CFL players – turns out they’re pretty low!
Players in the Canadian Football League don’t make nearly as much money as their counterparts in the National Football League.
The Canadian Football League is the highest level of professional football in Canada. It has a strong following and attracts talented players, but salaries are lower than in the National Football League. This is because there are fewer people to watch games, which means less revenue for teams.
The minimum salary for the CFL is $54,000 CDN, which is about $42,000 USD.
The minimum salary for the CFL is $54,000 CDN, which is about $42,000 USD. This is a far cry from other sports leagues in North America. For example, the NHL has a minimum salary of $575,000 CDN ($438k USD). The NFL’s minimum salary is currently at $320,000 CDN ($248k USD)
The average salary for a CFL player is around $96,000 CDN, or just over $74,000 US.
The average salary for a CFL player is around $96,000 CDN, or just over $74,000 US. The minimum salary is $54,000 CDN.
The highest paid player in the CFL is Cody Fajardo who makes $137,000 per season with the BC Lions.
The highest paid player in the CFL is Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback Cody Fajardo, who makes $510,000 CDN
The CFL has a salary cap of $5.1 million, but only a few players make that much money. The highest paid player in the CFL is Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback Cody Fajardo, who makes $510,000 CDN per year. That’s about three times more than other quarterbacks in his league; however, it’s only half as much as what an NFL quarterback makes annually and less than one-fifth of what an MLB player earns on average each season.
The sport doesn’t pay well overall—not even close! In fact, many professional football players actually end up taking second jobs to supplement their income because they can’t live on what they earn from playing football alone
The Hurricanes’ roster is made up of several players who have previously spent time with the Nationals.
One of the things that makes the Hurricanes so exciting to watch is that they have several players who have spent time with the Nationals. These players are great, and have been playing for years. Some of these players include:
- Joe Blob
- Larry White (who can be seen on ESPN’s Sportscenter)
Canadian football players don’t make as much money as American football players.
CFL players are not making anywhere near the amount of money that NFL players make. The average salary for a CFL player is about $54,000 CDN (about $42,000 USD), which is less than half of what a starting quarterback makes in the NFL.
It’s no surprise that Canadians love their football and they have plenty of opportunities to watch it live or on TV—the CFL has been around since 1958 and there are eight teams throughout Canada.
According to the Canadian Football League Players’ Association, the average salary for a CFL player is $80,000.
However, there are many factors that can change this amount. Players who are on a team’s practice roster or injured reserve will earn significantly less than those who play in games. The type of contract that a player has with his team also impacts their salary: for example, if a player has an “option year” on their contract, they will earn more than someone without one. And players who have been in the CFL for more than five years can earn bonuses based on how well their team performs in the playoffs.
Conclusion
If you are a young football player who wants to play professional football, you should consider playing in the Canadian Football League. The NFL is definitely more popular, but the CFL has its own strengths. It’s also a great way to get your foot in the door if you want to break into the American league at some point in your career.
