In other CFL news, some Toronto players are on a 90k/yr salary and can't afford rent, taking to Reddit to ask for help.

This tracks with what I've heard through the grapevine. One of the guys I played football with in HS briefly made the CFL as a DB/special teams guy (drafted in 2015, won a grey cup in 2019 with winnipeg while on IR). They do not live a life of luxury and it's more akin to going away to college while your parents occasionally send you money for treats.
