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....

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. I'm so old I had a Jesus Starter jacket.

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.

We will learn a lot by how well he performs this year. No excuses as I think he has the tools now. I believe he will have a huge bounce back year.

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?

Let’s tag this coming season as ‘All in’.

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

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.

With all respect to ZC and others, could also argue current CFL starting qb’s need a significant upgrade. We get nine elite QB’s across the league we help enhance our league.

Thats not a better question, if the alterative was Maier or Powell wed stand no chance of making playoffs

Depending on the day...yes

Amazing architecture...people were just dying to get in there.

Guess he was Dayquil last night...ugh,i will show myself out..🤪

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

South of the #1 they'll think this is a reality show...

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.

there's no doubt that we overpaid for Collaros for this year based on his performance over the past two years The problem was that there isn't a lot of alternatives. Walters needed to show some backbone knowing that no one else would pay more than 500k. However if it had dragged on, it certainly would have made it harder to attract free agents without a legitimate qb under contract. Unfortunately, this was a year where there was no other starting qbs available. The other factor is that we were able to resign our own free agents to have one more crack with this core at the cup

Where are these upgrades going to come from? No one answers because they have none yet the bitching never stops. We just have a bunch of spoiled whiners here complaining about his salary whether Collaros takes a paycut or not. Like they're paying him themselves.

We only made the playoffs last year because Edmonton chose the wrong QB to start the season.

It's a crying shame - a guy with a release like him doesn't just grow on trees. Brett Hull-like shot.

We don't, but doesn't stop from speculating or saying what you'd be comfortable paying for him. And when you are looking to compete with free agency, it tough if you aren't going to give term or money to entice the player to sign now. Hard decisions to make in a cap world.

Colorado got Kadri 😮

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.

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

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.

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.
