Since we got rid of our CFL forum I now have to put CFL News in the NFL Forum, so here's a tidbit of info for our Canadian viewers !

The CFL released results of the annual audit of its eight member teams Tuesday, and the Roughriders were the only club to exceed the $4.2-million salary cap in '08.

If only the NFL had a salary cap of 4.2 million eh? WOW!

Talk about a freakin difference in $$

CFL teams are fined $1 for every dollar up to $100,000 that they're over the cap. The penalty goes up to $2 for every dollar from $100,001 to $300,000 over, plus the loss of a first-round pick.

In 2009, the CFL's salary cap will remain at $4.2 million per team.

As a result of no franchise surpassing the cap by more than $100,000, the order for the CFL Canadian College Draft on May 2 will remain intact.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will have the first and third overall picks with Toronto at No. 2. The B.C. Lions will have the No. 4 through No. 6 selections, then Montreal and the Grey Cup-champion Calgary Stampeders will complete the opening round.

Saskatchewan, the Edmonton Eskimos and Winnipeg Blue Bombers don't have first-round selections.
