Crimsix lashes out at Dallas Empire contract restrictions, demands CDL \u201cstep in\u201d Dallas EmpireThe most successful player in Call of Duty history, Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter has lashed out at Dallas Empire for enforcing certain restrictions amidst the 2022 offseason, demanding Call of Duty League officials take action. The latest CoD offseason has been one of the most turbulent of all time. From legends retiring to reports of groundbreaking mergers, we\u2019ve seen a number of bombshells shake up the scene already. One of the first dominos to fall came as Crimsix announced his restricted free agency for the year. After two seasons with Empire, the veteran is now without a home. While Crim is able to explore other opportunities, his specific situation still comes with a few setbacks. Namely, his contract is still ongoing with the Envy-owned franchise. Therefore, any new offers that come his way also have to factor in a buyout with his former team. Not too pleased by these restrictions, Crim took to The Flank to vent his frustrations and demand some changes. \u201cWhen you see unrestricted vs restricted\u2026 I think it\u2019s bulls*** when an org has no intention of starting you or actually using your talent,\u201d he stressed. \u201cYou should be unrestricted.\u201d Not the only one subjected to these conditions, many players can define themselves as restricted free agents this offseason. While certain organizations like Toronto Ultra appear to take extra steps to \u201ctake care\u201d of their talent, others don\u2019t adopt the same approach. \u201cThe League needs to f***ing step in and stop this s***,\u201d Crimsix demanded, evidently frustrated after years of representing Empire. Not only do new interested parties have to negotiate buyouts with Empire \u2013 an org that has \u201cno reason to start\u201d Crim \u2013 but these buyouts also \u201cimpact\u201d salaries moving forward. \u201cNo matter where I go, I\u2019m getting a salary cut,\u201d the unsigned CDL star continued. \u201cIt\u2019s probably significant and it\u2019s straight-up bulls**t.\u201d \/\/ @Crimsix is FED UP with how players are treated during the transfer window. pic.twitter.com\/a78u15N69L \u2014 The Flank (@TheFlank) August 31, 2021 While Crim is among the biggest names voicing his frustrations, he clarified that the issue isn\u2019t tied to Empire exclusively.

If you have no intention of playing someone, they\u2019re free to go, that needs to be League-wide.\u201d The issue boils down to \u201corgs [having] so much power over players,\u201d Crim added. \u201cThey get to decide how much they want to sell you for too, that\u2019s a huge f***ing issue in itself. While players continue to be put in similar situations each year, very few appear ready to form a union for the betterment of the League. Therefore, no matter where Crimsix lands for the Vanguard season, Empire will be taking a decent chunk of change before he starts playing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
