'It didn't make a lot of sense': CFL Shelves Proposal for American Player Draft

The Canadian Football League (CFL) has decided against implementing an American player draft, despite discussing the idea during their offseason meetings. The league currently manages American talent through negotiation lists, but critics argue this system is complex and limits financial competition. While an American draft could potentially create a marketable event, it faces logistical challenges and may not generate the desired excitement. CFL commissioner Stewart Johnston remains open to other ideas that could enhance the league's entertainment value.
