If you’ve been watching your nearest sports ticker you most likely noticed that both Colin Kaepernick and Robert Griffin III have been added to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats negotiation list.
The news elicited excitement among CFL fans — but not so fast, my friends. The move is more an indication of the players’ NFL opportunities than their CFL ones.
The vast majority of players put on a negotiation list never actually have contact with their would-be Canadian teams — never mind agree to terms and then make the roster. Tim Tebow made news when Jim Popp put him on the Montreal Alouettes list, but it was just a footnote when he was taken off.
Law of averages says both Kaepernick and Griffin will follow a similar path.
