I actually heard, he specifically dislikes SpeedFlex27 and that's why he's not in the CFL.

Please just let something else interesting happen so this board can move on from this topic

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

Live shot of me waiting for @SpeedFlex27 to react:

How do MBT ancestors feel about Winnipeg?

Yes, there has been a serious lack of talk about what Jake had for breakfast lately.

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.

It's still way too much money.

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.

Nah Brazzell's most memorable play was Glenn faking taking a knee right before time expires on the opening half, but instead drops back and hits Brazell for a deep shot just as the clock ran out for half time. Was incredible.

Well if you want we can discuss what I had for lunch.

yeah....that was kind of an awkward escort into the end zone ...He wasn't a bad receiver but not a 'Milt'.......................................Wow topics around here are getting a little thin.... can't wait for the draft

They knew it was flood prone and would have hockey teams that no one wanted to play for. We should have listened.

I'm just gonna say that would be up to Osh. Other than that, if they think Bethell-Thompson can still play then sign him. If not, find somebody else. We need a veteran. Someone who gives us a chance if Collaros goes down. He's been hanging around year.

So apparently former Bomber WR Chris Brazell has a son, Chris Brazell II, who is an NFL prospect.

Okay, maybe saying he "**** on the CFL" bordered on the ridiculousl. For that, I was wrong. I absolutely agree with your take, though The CFL is a league that just doesn't get why it isn't even mentiobned in a Toronto fan poll. The coaches & admin cap along with the rookie salary cap have to go. Why three years for Canadians & just two for Americans? These rules are strangling the CFL & not allowing for any kind of growth to take place. It also makes the CFL look bush league. Especially in Toronto, Calgary & Edmonton where fan support is apathetic. No exponential growth will happen until the league & the new Commish fix these meat & potato issues.

What the hell are you talking about. He hasn't said anything negative about the CFL. He's just trying to land a spot down south.

You think you had it rough? This was my first career job working with my hands. My boss was tough. He was a slave driver.

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

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

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.

Not that different from the one filmed near Argyle

Mauldin played for Hamilton in 2021 and had 5 sacks in 6 games in the COVID shortened season. He signed with Ottawa and wasn't among the top 10 highest paid defensive ends. He won MODP in 2022, and his contract was 200K in 2023 after he re-signed and he was the second highest paid defensive end. He was also 30 at this point. He did sign before the window opened (Jan 18th)... maybe Calgary would have signed him to replace Orimolade, maybe the Argos could have signed him instead of Orimolade. But you can't get much higher paid than the second most salary at your position. He had a down year in 2023 and his salary in 2024 reflected that, but he was still top 10 paid. He bounced backed in 2024 and was almost 200K again in 2025 and that didn't go super great for all involved. If he wanted a better shot at winning a championship, it would been in the East, the Bombers didn't have room on those teams (as constructed) for another 30+ year old d-lineman making 200k, I don't think he would have pushed any of the West teams over the Bombers. Maybe he could have taken a deep discount to get onto another team but that is not a thing that happens very much tbh. The problem really was that he broke out at the time where he was on the wrong end of the aging curve... and really his production showed that and teams aren't dumb so good call. You can point to Willie Jefferson as an argument against the DE aging curve... but he has a very specific skill that makes him a bit of a unicorn and the Bombers deploy him as such

Razzle Dazzle Brazzell

He been around a yr...and not sure why so many think he's a legit option....nothing I have seen tells me that....yeah he has had no shot in any reg season games....but also thee a reason too....well nobody here gets a shot with Osh as the HC unless there no other option but even then he will run a less than healthy guy out there before a backup After this yrs TC the greek QB will be just a fart in the wind and gone

His partner Barron is one of the fastest players on the team. Should be on during OT especially since he does not lack at defensive skills.

mbt, I think evans, couple guys in the same tier. I think it comes down to who takes a cheap deal first. That whole tier is a mixed bag with comparable value imo. Mbt is whacko, and I think his propensity to speak controversially to the media would hurt his chances here. Plus the fact we had him at his youngest and washed him out quickly. Tbh, I expect mbt to retire or maybe go to the ufl. But any one of the meh tier veterans would be fine by me.

I assume you were repping our colors. :)

Pretty classic game for the Jets this season… and why they’re on the outside looking in. But without 2 of their top D men, it certainly wasn’t a bad showing against a good team. I was at the game and it was pretty hilarious how ignorant that fan base is. Not shocking, but still…. I’ve never heard so many ‘refs you suck’ chants. After some really obvious calls/non calls. They really have no idea what the rules are. And the constant ‘USA’ chants were pretty damn annoying too.

No matter what the cap is, or exemptions there is no way a cfl team can compete with the nfl financially. It would just drive up payrolls

als cut james morgan right before his 30th birthday. if he wants it he will probably get another cfl camp from some one as the last arm/ extra arm. Hes got a great arm, decent release and he’s still got tons of upside. Almost no chance of fulfilling it though. He’s more of a pitcher than a qb. And qbs who get to the pros with out any touch or accuracy basically never pan out. Maybe a team thinks their qb coach can finally fix his mechanics and bring finesse into his game. Or maybe a team will just want that wild, raw arm talent in camp for depth defenders and wrs to work with/against.

Where can I pick up my refund for the time I wasted reading this?

who really effin care's about a Canadian QB....like really....People need to care more about "legit" Canadian stars who are getting it done...for succesive yrs....Guys like BO...Demski...just on the Bombers alone....Skilled position guys...Valuable to a team's success guys...Why do people get fixated on a QB all the time....it's pointless and never gonna happen Rourke is Canadian by birth only not by training and how/where he developed.....Ford...Yeah was all everything in the CIS...And hot assed garbage in the pros' and history and all likelyhood Elgersma will be too...He got the look he did, based soley on his body type as it fit what used to be the dream MFL stereotype, and even that is changing now and U.S trained and born guys like him are not the sure thing they used to be

This is what I'm talking about.... dude's trying to land in the NFL... he's deluded probably at this point but by god he's going to try. Doesn't mean he's shitting all over the cfl and christ chances are he never amounts to anything in the cfl either. So why waste all this energy on a guy like that

shame I was away from my computer for the Schenn fight let's see how the Shall we Dance gif will work, well at least it's from the movie

There needs to be options with the caap for rookies being so low like naming a player who can opt out of it. Something to get a promising player on the roster. The way it's set up now is stupid. Teams have no way of enticing younger players up here like Elgersma.

We must have seen something in Elgersma, when we took a flyer on him in last years draft.....What we saw is never mentioned by our management ,other than the ol 'potential assessment' and that was good enough to make him our pic.....Now that available talent in last years draft must have been petty thin to take a shot at the guy....Other than an arm, what has he proven in his nfl attempts....If his failed southern attempts to crack a line-up continue, and he still shows a reluctance to come north and still gives us short shrift, I think we might have another Mulumba pic on our hands.....In that case it was play CFL east or nada....We might have to write this one off .....

Why are you knocking a future hall of famer?

Yeah but what do people think he should be doing with his life? We should fill a 3rd thread with comments about him just to be sure

I will say again, too many people have entirely too much thought invested in a guy who is at best a prospect. When he actually shows up the ln let's start investing time and effort into thinking of him, until then he really is a non-factor.

Yeah the NFL generally doesnt employ Osh type coaches who fall into that trap....and if they have a coach who does he is quickly kicked to the curb Elgersma on his last gasp, and being a camp arm at that combine is hardly a gasp...If he was smart he would immediately after it is done, sign up here and start his ELC clock and get on with his best chance for a sustained career

The thing is that you can only keep so many guys on the roster and futures can definitely be helpful sometimes when roster spots are limited. Is a 3rd rounder likely to come in and beat out any of your incumbents? That's the question you ask, if not then a futures pick can be the smart pick at that position. Lots goes into the equation, whats our roster makeup currently, what is our projection for our 2nd and 3rd year NATs? How deep is the draft? One shouldn't think that Elgersma is a flyer either. He is a guy chasing a dream that is going to end up here. A NAT QB with a high ceiling and a high probability of being in the CFL sooner rather than later is NOT a flyer. So, in short I agree with your assessment that rounds 3-4 you go realistic fliers, and then hail marys after that IF the draft is not deep or you don't want to draft someone just to have to release someone of equal talent already on your roster.

Over the last 10 years not one QB invited as a combine arm has been in an NFL training camp the same year.
