TORONTO — Contact talks between the CFL and CFL Players’ Association have broken down.

In a memo sent out to its players, the CFLPA said it rejected the league’s proposal for a 10-year deal that called for no increases to the salary cap and eliminated the Canadian ratio.

The union added Thursday night it walked away from talks after the CFL demanded players arrive at training camp even if a strike is imminent.

The current agreement is set to expire May 14, with training camps slated to open the following day.

The CFL pre-season is scheduled to kick off on May 23 with Winnipeg at Saskatchewan.
