You think brown only gets 160k? If that's the case no way we lose him. Sadly for you, you're wrong.

applies to both.

The serious penalties start coming in at 100k+ on both in the form of draft picks and 2:1 penalties 

It's worth it for any contending team to go over 99k on both.

Burn 198k in fines, but make up that revenue as a drop in the bucket hosting playoff games.

Knowing the CFl & what they've done with the players cap, it'll be a snails pace.... Like $50,000 or something like that. Paper cuts for everyone made to suffer. 

Teams that violate the cap are subject to a dollar-for-dollar fine for the first $100,000 they go over. For violations over $100,000, teams will forfeit a draft pick(s) while being assessed a fine between $25,000 to $250,000.

I would be perfectly okay with purposely going $99,000 over the operations cap every year if it means retaining the staff.

I'm not trying to be mean, but how do you not understand?? One of the biggest reasons gave up the game winning TD is because everyone along the line was absolutely gassed, and we needed another body in the secondary after Parker got dinged on specials. There's several examples of why we needed more bodies on the field, especially on defense. 

Anyone who didn't see cracks start to emerge in Collaros wasn't paying attention and at his age it is totally valid to question how much longer he can be at that level. Especially when he has a top 2 biggest salary in the league.

Good Zach or bad Zach? CoFaj was better than Zach when it mattered? This fanbase deserves a qb worse than Taylor Cornelius so badly. I hope we get it real soon, go 3-15 just to shut up the naysayers who'll then be longing for the Good Old Days of today. I've never read such drivel here before. Was Zach on the field when our secondary looked like swiss cheese on that final drive? Did Zach call a Cover Zero defense on thre goalline that final play? Does Zach play favourites politically with the roster?? Did Zach dress Adam Bighill just so he'd get his name on the GC if we won? He must as he's at fault for everything else, it seems.

For past couple regular seasons (let alone playoffs) ZC hasn't passed the eye test. Stats-wise, OK, fine. But he's been very inconsistent - are you going to get the good Zach or bad Zach? Downward trajectory especially noticeable when he came back after sitting out couple games with a neck injury Game 10 thanks to what should've been RP by Elks Kony Ealy. But even prior to that Zach was very hot/cold in my opinion. It looked like Buck might've adjusted the playbook after that - taking a more conservative game manager approach that doesn't exactly suit Collaros's style. But it also seemed Zach was taking longer than normal to process things. That could be why Dru Brown had such brilliant success in relief. Much quicker processing time, quicker release, high velocity throws. 

At least Bilbo came home with a ring! 😂

Stamps have just as many coaches as any other team and the same budget, it's Dickenson's choice how he fills those positions.

That’s not true.

ZC confirms what many others believe - Dru Brown could be the best QB in the CFL.
So, if that is the case, why on earth would Winnipeg let him go elsewhere?
Obviously if we can only afford to keep one of either Brown or Collaros - it has to be Brown.
“Under the right leadership and coaching and play calling and all those things, I think he can be one of the best if not the best guy in the league. I truly feel that way about Dru,” said veteran quarterback Zach Collaros.

Rare... but Friesen is 100% correct on this one...

Exactly. Biggie hobbling around only to get absolutely torched was on coaching.

I can guarantee you if you asked MOS in hindsight would he have made the same decision in starting AB and DS, he's answer would be:
'Absolutely without hesitation.'
