Almost a quarter million upfront. ?.ouch . Same people who praised him as a prudent money man in slashing the lavish salaries of Dressler etc. are praising him for doing what it takes to secure an elite player. Nice work if you can get it.

Well over a half million tied up in two question mark QBs. Easy to imagine what the sheep would say if CAL or WPG did this

Does Durant still think hes a starter? Id take him for depth but not if hes still a primmadonna

Rider fans are feasting on this, you know, the fans who used to say Durant was better than Lancaster and the same fans who will give Durant a standing ovation when he is put on their wall of fame. Bunch of two faced fickle jackoffs. Poor Collaros doesnt know what he signed up for.

More than fair. But Manziel camp has no cards to play but by going public they are trying to make HAM look like they are cheaping out and hiding behind arcane rules. Desperate but hes doing his job by trying to max out for his client.

Just because you think the league is mickey mouse doesnt mean you can be unprofessional and negotiate through the media. Its weak.

Masoli was always Plan A.

He will be in camp here.

Manziel announcement is imminent.

Franklin says he had no inclinations to ever go to SSK. And has given notice and a special thank you to all Rider fans for living rent free in their heads for all this time and given top billing in their fan circle jerk fantasies Turns out THE PLAN was for Jones to just wait around until a quarterback shakes loose and throw cash at him What a visionary. What a joke.

MTL hires are low rent recycling. Not the least bit interesting or impressive.

Collaros was probably the best QB in the league until he blew ACL. Since then he lost money receivers like Sinkfield and then Tolliver to injury and lost his favourite OC and saddled with a neophyte then lost his number one defender in Austin. Defense got significantly worse over time too which factors into his losses. I loved Collaros. Sad to see him go. But its June Jones team now and he sees Masoli as a better fit both system wise and obviously financially. His salary handcuffed the team that has to get better and thats the reality of it.

Doesnt one have to actually play first?

Only way anything gets done in Atlantic Canada. Govt projects and or generous subsidies is seen as Plan A. Capitalist and entrepreneurial spirit are like four leaf clovers.

Hey as long as we are making lists.....where to rank Mullinder for CDN draft busts ?

By then Kavis will have conned another owner into hiring him too

That'll be Kevin Glenn .

In the face of all available evidence I still hope they can restructure Collaros. I like Masoli but only up to a point. I think Manziel is worth exploring but I worry about the three ring circus he will bring. Red meat for lazy media

Point being if he has the chance to stay in eastern canada, even if it is less lucrative, I 'll bet he takes it

Collaros takes off to Ohio every time he is able. He does not stick around. Very close to friends and family there. Id be shocked if he takes a contract out West.

Lived in Thailand. Prisons are essentially open air human zoos. If its a drug charge you get the deluxe accomodations.

Big chunk due early Feb.

And if you're the projected starter how are you supposed to feel about it all especially when your own coach is in love with him ? Media will beat that angle to death too.

Manziel will be in camp here.

No surprise. A small handful set the agenda, which is basically the company line, another handful fall in line to do the heavy lifting out of loyalty to the team brand and whomever runs the site. If you dont buy into it, even if youre a diehard, you are put on the defensive. Jones' treatment of Durant and how previously passionate Durant defenders changed their tune to toe the new company line is a vivid example
