saints to pick up some cfl players?

There's nothing wrong with scouting for talent in different places. Look what Kenton Keith did for the Colts last year. If we sign a CFL'er or two, I'm sure it wouldn't be a guaranteed contract nor will it be for any significant amount of money. I don't have a problem with that OT we're looking at... nice size. Hopefully he can play... maybe he'll earn himself a roster spot.

Minimum salaries in the CFL this year are $30,000 for rookies and $32,000 for veterans. The minimum increases to $35,000 next year as a result of the CFLâ€™s new Collective Bargaining Agreement. The average CFL salary is about $45,000 Canadian.

Starters, excluding quarterbacks, can command anywhere between $60,000 and $120,000, depending on their position. Quarterbacks are generally the highest-paid players, making between $150,000 and $300,000.

Oh and that's how much they make... so there's hardly a risk.
