2014 CFL season

Canadian Football League season August 2024 August 2024 2014 CFL season June 26 – November 8, 2014 East Hamilton Tiger-Cats West Calgary Stampeders 102nd Grey Cup November 30, 2014 BC Place, Vancouver Calgary Stampeders List of Canadian Football League seasons CFL 2013 CFL season 2013 2015 CFL season 2015 The 2014 CFL season was the 61st season of modern-day Canadian football. It was the 57th Canadian Football League season. Vancouver hosted the 102nd Grey Cup on November 30. The league expanded to nine teams with the addition of the Ottawa Redblacks, giving the CFL nine teams for the first time since the 2005 season. As a result of the expansion, the schedule shifted to a 20-week regular season plus three weeks of playoffs (including the Grey Cup); the season started on June 26, 2014. CFL news in 2014 Labour negotiations The collective bargaining agreement between the CFL and the CFL Players' Association (CFLPA) expired on May 29, 2014. With a new and more lucrative television contract with TSN beginning this season,http://www.torontosun.com/2013/03/21/cfl-tsn-agree-to-30m-television-deal CFL, TSN agree to multimillion-dollar TV deal Toronto Sun 2013-03-21 2013-08-14 revenue distribution was a major sticking point in CBA negotiations. Unlike other professional sports leagues in North America, the CFL salary cap is not tied to league revenues. The league had offered to raise the previous $4.4 million (CAD) salary cap to $5 million, with further increases of $50,000 for each subsequent year. The players' union originally countered with a proposal that would have increased the cap to $6.24 million in 2014 with the cap in subsequent years being calculated as a percentage of league revenues, but CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon had said the league would never agree to such a formula. The CFLPA then withdrew its demand for revenue sharing and put forth a proposal that would have increased the cap to $5.8 million with 3% annual increases and a $4.8 million salary floor that would increase with the cap, but this offer was also rejected by the league. The CFLPA had indicated that it would not play the 2014 season under the terms of the expired agreement. After negotiations broke down on May 21, the CFLPA began preparations for a strike vote. Had the players gone on strike, it would have been only the second work stoppage in CFL history and possibly the first to have caused the cancellation of regular season games. It would also have been the first work stoppage in North American professional sports in almost 20 years to be initiated by players, since all such labour disputes since the 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike have been owners' lockouts. The first CFL strike, in 1974, occurred during training camp and was settled before the regular season began. On June 7, the CFL and CFLPA announced that they had reached a tentative labour agreement, pending ratification by the players and owners.https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/cfl-cfl-players-association-reach-tentative-agreement-on-new-deal/article19062027/ CFL, CFL Players' Association reach tentative agreement on new deal The Globe and Mail 7 June 2014 6 August 2015 Ralph Dan The agreement was ratified by the players on June 12.https://www.cfl.ca/article/new-five-year-cba-ratified-by-cfl-and-cflpa New five-year CBA ratified by CFL and CFLPA CFL.ca 6 August 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150923224917/http://www.cfl.ca/article/new-five-year-cba-ratified-by-cfl-and-cflpa 2015-09-23 dead Labour agreement The new collective bargaining agreement will be in place until May 15, 2019, or the first day training camp in 2019, whichever comes later. However, if the nine member clubs' total aggregate revenues increase by more than $27 million in any year starting in 2016, both sides will renegotiate the salary cap. The salary cap for the 2014 season is set at $5 million per team (average of $108,695 per active roster spot), a 13.6% increase from the previous season. The cap will increase by $50,000 each year until 2018. The minimum salary per player increased by $5000 to $50,000 and will increase by $1000 each year until 2018. The game-day roster increased from 42 players to 44 players, with 46 players still being named to the active roster, meaning the reserve roster decreased from four to two players. The practice roster for teams also increased from seven to ten players in the Summer and from 12 to 15 players in the Fall. The nine-game injury list was replaced with a six-game injury list, while retaining the option of removing two players early from the list. Clubs are also permitted to keep players on the list past the six games and not have their salaries count against the salary cap. The league has also removed the option-year clause on contracts for veteran players, making it possible for players to sign one-year contracts. Rookie players must still have option years on their contracts. Ottawa expansion This is the first season of play for the Ottawa Redblacks, as the CFL returned to the city of Ottawa for the first time since 2005 when the Ottawa Renegades suspended operations during the following off-season.http://cfl.ca/article/renegades_operations_suspended_for_2006 Renegades operations suspended for 2006 cfl.ca 2006-04-09 2013-08-14 https://web.archive.org/web/20140201194010/http://cfl.ca/article/renegades_operations_suspended_for_2006 2014-02-01 dead http://cfl.ca/article/cfl-in-ottawa-on-track-for-the-2014-season CFL in Ottawa on track for the 2014 season cfl.ca 2012-10-10 2013-08-14 https://web.archive.org/web/20121012235821/http://www.cfl.ca/article/cfl-in-ottawa-on-track-for-the-2014-season 2012-10-12 dead The team was able to sign players starting on the day after the 101st Grey Cup on November 25, 2013, and an expansion draft for the club was held on December 16, 2013.https://ottawacitizen.com/sports/REDBLACKS+expansion+draft+rescheduled/8727268/story.html REDBLACKS expansion draft rescheduled for Dec. 16 Ottawa Citizen 2013-07-30 2013-08-14 The 2013 CFL Expansion Draft allowed the RedBlacks to select one import and two non-import players from each of the eight existing member clubs.

Season structure The regular season schedule consists of 81 games played over 20 weeks, with 19 weeks featuring four games and week 8 featuring five games. Each team has two bye weeks except for the Toronto Argonauts, which will have three bye weeks since they are the only team scheduled to play two games in one week. In terms of team matchups, each team will play two divisional opponents three times and every other team twice. Each West Division team will play 10 divisional games, while each East Division team will play eight divisional games.

Following the previous season's hiccup with the Labour Day Classic, the traditional rivalry game between the Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats resumed, along with Ottawa playing Montreal that same weekend (also historic Labour Day rivals). For the second consecutive season, the league is featuring all-division match ups in the final four weeks of the regular season. However, in stark contrast to the previous season's 13 home-and-home series, this season holds only two (both featuring Labour Day match ups). There are 25 double headers this year, with nine on Fridays, 11 on Saturdays, three on Sundays, and two (the traditional Labour Day and Thanksgiving contests) on Mondays. Stadiums The Ottawa Redblacks began play at the newly renovated (and renamed) TD Place Stadium, which finished construction on time and on budget.https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/lansdowne-park-re-launch-nears-on-time-and-tracking-well Lansdowne Park re-launch nears, on time and 'tracking well' Ottawa Citizen 2014-07-03 2014-07-06 The old south side stands were condemned and demolished with construction completed in June 2014.

To accommodate continued construction, the Tiger-Cats began the 2014 season with a four-week, three-game road trip; the stadium was slated to open in July but construction delays forced the Tiger-Cats to move the first three games of the 2014 season to McMaster University's Ron Joyce Stadium. Tim Hortons Field, still not completely finished, opened in time for the Labour Day Classic. Due to stadium unavailability, three teams played their pre-season home games in stadiums that are not their regular season homes. The Redblacks' "home" pre-season game took place in Regina on June 14, 2014, with the Saskatchewan Roughriders as the visitors, as TD Place Stadium in Ottawa was not yet ready in time for that game.http://cfl.ca/article/redblacks-riders-to-face-off-in-pre-season-action REDBLACKS, Riders to face off in pre-season action CFL.ca 6 August 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20140222155050/http://cfl.ca/article/redblacks-riders-to-face-off-in-pre-season-action 22 February 2014 dead The Hamilton Tiger-Cats played at Ron Joyce Stadium against the Alouettes on June 14, 2014.http://www.ticats.ca/article/ticats-to-hold-pre-season-game-at-mcmasters-ron-joyce-stadium Ticats to hold pre-season game at McMaster's Ron Joyce Stadium 6 August 2015 Finally, the Argonauts played at the University of Toronto's Varsity Stadium against the Tiger-Cats on June 19, 2014.http://www.argonauts.ca/article/toronto-argonauts-announce-2014-schedule TORONTO ARGONAUTS ANNOUNCE 2014 SCHEDULE!

Prior to this change, players were eligible to be selected after their fourth year of post-secondary education. Additionally, for non-import players playing in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) or National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), they are now eligible to be selected after completing their senior year.

It is believed that TSN/ESPN will pay the CFL over $30 million per season over the course of the deal, which would be more than double the previous deal which was approximately $15 million. The impact of such an increase would allow for money-losing clubs to become profitable and allow all clubs to make more investments in stadiums and practice facilities.https://www.thestar.com/sports/football/2013/03/21/cfl_tsn_reach_tv_deal_worth_more_than_30_million_a_year.html CFL, TSN reach TV deal worth more than $30 million a year The Star 2013-03-21 2013-08-14 The agreement also ends the CFL's relationship with the U.S. cable network NBCSN, who carried a limited selection of games (see CFL on NBC) during the 2012 and 2013 seasons. Coaching changes The Edmonton Eskimos relieved Kavis Reed of his coaching duties following the 2013 season. Reed had been the head coach of Edmonton for three seasons from 2011 through 2013, compiling a record of 22 and 32 (1–2 in the playoffs). Edmonton management replaced Reed with Chris Jones who had most recently been the Defensive Coordinator/Assistant Head Coach/Assistant General Manager of the Argonauts for the previous two seasons. Tom Higgins was brought in by Montreal Alouettes GM Jim Popp to take over from the intern head coach position which Popp had been filling since early in the 2013 season. Higgins had been the CFL's Head of Officiating from 2008 through 2013. This will be Higgins' third stint as a CFL head coach, having previously served under the Calgary Stampeders (2005–06) and Eskimos (2001–04). Mike O'Shea became the 30th coach of the Blue Bombers after he replaced Tim Burke. O'Shea had been the Special Teams Coordinator of the Toronto Argonauts from the 2010 season through 2013. The Ottawa RedBlacks began their inaugural season under the tutelage of Rick Campbell. Campbell had been the Defensive Coordinator of the Stampeders for the previous two seasons.

Each team wore the uniforms at two times this season with the exception of Winnipeg, who wore theirs once, and Ottawa and Calgary, who wore theirs three times. Each team is scheduled to wear these uniforms at least once for the 2015 CFL season. Regular season Structure Teams play eighteen regular season games, playing two divisional opponents three times and all of the other teams twice. Teams are awarded two points for a win and one point for a tie. The top three teams in each division qualify for the playoffs, with the first place team gaining a bye to the divisional finals.
