Fair but it’s seems a lot of assumptions are in play here. Like, do we know for a fact that Chevy believed LS has hit his ceiling and had him pencilled in as a 3rd pairing D moving forward and do we know what the number LS and his agent weren’t willing to budge from to re-sign to determine whether keeping him made sense or not?

In my day, we used to work for a nickel, which had a picture of a bee on it. Give me five bees for a quarter, we'd say....

Counterpoint, the SMS has gone up 750k since 2024 so Collaros' share is noticeablely smaller. (10.9% vs 8.8%).

so I heard on CJOB that a new CBA agreement was made with the players and the NHLPA (good we don't need another lockout at this time)

Question is how much would you pay him to be a 3rd pairing defensemen? Its not just about developing and keeping him, at the free agent stage, the number has to make sense.

"But it is what it is, free cap money for us." complaining we paid him too much. but like I said, is what it is. and hes already cashed another 200k of his salary. So if he spent the whole season on the IR, we would only recoup 300k.

Who’s this Amy More you want them to sign?

Yes... Took guaranteed money to shave 50k off the overall.

So $50k right now as signing bonus to shave $50k off the total. Am I reading that right?

This definitely feels true. I still believe that Collaros is capable of great things, BUT...based on recent seasons..... This feels like too high. Part of the problem is there's such a dearth of QBs in the league so anyone with any ability can pretty much ask whatever they want.

Great lets develop him, power thru his learning curve to come out the other side but wait lets trade him away for some pucks, sticks and tape when he's finally hitting his stride. Or we made off like bandits, great job Chevy?

'As much as the haters hate to hear this' What an irritating preface.

It's still way too much money.

Lol people complained that he didnt/wouldn't restructure...now we're complaining that he did restructure?

Every Cardinal fan out there.

Fifty thousand ain't much if they want to sign amy more free agents. Where would the Bombers spend this windfall? On signing another player or for injuries come the season? I guess every bit helps.

is it just me or has he not been playing well since he was traded out of Winnipeg 5 years ago

Thats where he should top out with incentives. After the last 2 plus years, and nearly every single play off game here, his floor should be 350-400k. But it is what it is, free cap money for us.

PG13? What show are you watching? It's rated TV +14. For network tv, that's a mix of violence & language toned down. If it was on Netflix,it probably would have a TV+18 rating.

Jacob Bryson, Isak Rosen and two future draft picks

What’s a snowflake? I was under the impression it’s good to be one, we all are snowflakes really as each snowflake is unique and different. Not one is the same. I’m not sure what this word implies tho. Like? Whiners? So Like you whining about snowflakes makes you a snowflake right? Cuz it doesn’t make sense. Snowflakes are all unique and different

Hulk still rules. Honestly. It’s probably where he should be. QBs get paid and his resume is solid. 3rd highest after 5 straight cup appearances and 1 early playoff exit makes sense to me.

Rosen has 25 goals for the ahl team. 3 goals 4 assists in 10 games for buffalo in November. 22 year old with serious skills. I’m shocked they got him. Bryson is a depth d. Small depth D and UFA. Could be flipped but prob won’t be as he’s 5 foot 9. Rosen is similar to an Ehlers mould. Skill and speed. Obviously Stanley got Rosen and the 2nd. Schenn prob got the 4th and Bryson. Buffalo fans not thrilled moving Rosen. I think you put Perfetti and Rosen together on line 2. Get them a young center (maybe Yager or see if Chevy does anything else ) and it’s a solid line 2.

3DownNationZach Collaros restructures 2026 CFL contract with Winnipe...Veteran quarterback Zach Collaros has agreed to a restructured contract with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, which saves the team $50,000 in salary cap space for theVeteran quarterback Zach Collaros has agreed to a restructured contract with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, which saves the team $50,000 in salary cap space for the 2026 season, per sources. Collaros received two separate $100,000 offseason bonuses as scheduled on January 1 and January 15. Under his old deal, he would have earned an additional $400,000 in base salary, bringing his total earnings to an even $600,000. However, Collaros’ new contract will now pay him $300,000 in base salary. That came with a $50,000 signing bonus, maxing out at $550,000 in hard money. The 13-year veteran remains the CFL’s third-highest-paid QB behind Nathan Rourke at $684,000 and Chad Kelly at $625,000 for the upcoming campaign.
