Brian Butler, the controversial manager of the top-ranked football recruit, Bryce Brown, is open to the idea. Butler told The Times that if approached by a Canadian Football League team, he'd consider sending Brown there. Butler said he planned to have someone explore the possibility of Brown playing in the C.F.L. next season. "If they were talking about any amount of real money, I'd guarantee it," Butler said of Brown potentially playing in the C.F.L. He mentioned a C.F.L. team paying Brown $5 million a year for three years. He added: "We're not playing around.


Two things. If the CFL appraoched me, I woudl consider it to. manager is obviouslu so shary you can't see him at night. He is sending out feelers.

I am told the team salary cap is 4 mil. So, the 5 mil per year does not add up, if that is true.

Yeah, I think the highest paid player in the CFL is Casey Printers at $500k / year, or at least that's what it was in 2007.

I have 3 buddies that have played in the CFL. None of them ever cleared more than $50k/year. In the words of one of them, a linebacker "sure as hell beats teaching gym class".

The max I could see them offering with that kinda cap is around $200,000. He could probably make close to that at many colleges.
