What is the top salary of the CFL compared to the USFL?
The Canadian Football League (CFL) is Canada's equivalent of the NFL and is billed to be bigger than a spring football league. The best players in the CFL earn over CAD 400,000 a year. However, an average CFL player earns an estimated $60,000 to $100,000 annually.
The Canadian Football League has its fair share of NFL veterans, and those players earn an estimated maximum of CAD 400,000 (USD 294,000) per year. Like spring football leagues, the CFL is miles below the National Football League in terms of pay, which is why most USFL, XFL and CFL players dream of playing under the bright lights of the NFL.
