I always had faith in Faith. Why he wasn't listed 1st on the depth chart is a mystery.

I hope he has success with the Bombers

What kinda paycheck will he be looking at?

 

[leiserom]

It wont be like the NFL. Down linemen make in the 100K range. Skill players make more money. Faith might make more but it wont be in NFL range

Congrats to Faith, dude was a great Hawkeye!

Congratulations to Faith. He has the opportunity to play in the CFL which might lead to an opportunity in the NFL in a few years. It's not as rare as it used to be for players to jump from the CFL to the NFL as it used to be.

What kinda paycheck will he be looking at?

I think most are directly deposited now.

Hopefully he doesn't get accosted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in some park.
