What happened: Chad Kelly signed a five year contract with the Canadian Football League. The deal carries $5,555,250 in hard money, according to TSN's Farhan Lalji.

Why it matters: Committing that much hard money across five years treats a quarterback as a long term centerpiece, not a short term rental. For a passer who did not hold an NFL job, it shows the CFL is willing to build around one. No recent data on how the deal compares with other CFL quarterback contracts.
