Alright, let’s yak about them Canadian football fellas and how much money they’re makin’. You know, the ones runnin’ around on that field, throwin’ the ball and smackin’ into each other.
The Money Talk
So, I hear tell these boys ain’t makin’ peanuts, but they ain’t exactly rollin’ in dough like them fellas down in the States, you know, the NFL. From what I gather, a regular player in the CFL, that’s the Canadian Football League, mind you, he’s pullin’ in somethin’ like sixty to a hundred thousand Canadian dollars a year. Yeah, that’s what they say. Sixty thousand to a hundred thousand. Now, that sounds like a good chunk of change, but don’t go gettin’ all excited yet.
See, that’s just the average. Some fellas, the newbies, the rookies they call ’em, they start out lower, maybe around thirty-five thousand. And then, as they get better, play longer, they start makin’ more. It’s like any job, I reckon. You start at the bottom, and if you’re good, you climb your way up.
This year, they say the average is sittin’ around seventy-three thousand two hundred dollars. That’s a pretty penny, ain’t it? But remember, that’s just the average. Some fellas are makin’ way more, and some are makin’ less.
The Big Shots
Now, them quarterbacks, they’re the ones pullin’ in the big bucks. There’s this fella, Zach Collaros, plays for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and they say he’s makin’ the most outta everyone. Six hundred thousand dollars! Can you believe that? Six hundred thousand! That’s enough to buy a whole lotta cows, I tell ya.
- Average Joe: $60,000 – $100,000 a year
- Rookies: Around $35,000 starting out
- 2024 Average: $73,200
- Top Dogs (like Zach Collaros): Up to $600,000 or more
Other Footballin’ Jobs
And it ain’t just the players gettin’ paid. Them fellas in stripes, the referees, they’re gettin’ a piece of the pie too. They ain’t makin’ as much as the players, but it’s still a decent livin’. I heard they get somethin’ like forty to ninety thousand a year. Not too shabby for blowin’ a whistle and throwin’ flags, eh?
Then there’s them other football fellas, the ones that play regular football, not the Canadian kind. They’re makin’ a bit less, on average, ’bout fifty-four thousand a year, but some can get up to sixty-one thousand or so. It all depends, I guess.
Top Earners List
Just the other day, I saw somethin’ about the top 25 highest-paid players in the CFL. They didn’t say who they all were, but it just goes to show ya, there’s big money in this here football game. Always is with sports, seems like. Them fellas that can run fast and throw far, they get paid the big bucks.
It All Adds Up
So, there you have it. A little peek into how much them Canadian football players are makin’. It ain’t easy money, though. They gotta train hard, stay in shape, and risk gettin’ banged up every game. But for some fellas, it’s worth it. They get to play a game they love and get paid for it. Can’t complain about that, I reckon.
And remember, these numbers are just what I heard. Might be a little more, might be a little less. But it gives you a good idea, don’t it?
