I mean ... it seems like what is being forgotten in your entire argument is that we don't just decide what Collaros gets paid. He actually has to agree to it.

Winning the cup made collaros untouchable here. 
 
Gotta hope Nichols lands on his feet though. The work he did to help turn this team around means a lot and always will.

Legit don't get the griping about the "guaranteed" money, because that term has transitioned away from "cap hit" and nobody has really noticed. Collaros' injury risk is that he's going to miss significant time with a concussion - if that happens, whatever his cap hit is minus the signing bonus is off the cap anyways, because he'll be 6-gamed instantly.
I'll wait to see what his signing bonus was, but reality is that Walters and company understand the comparables and the financial implications way better than any of us do and they surely weren't in a position to have to pay way above market for Collaros. If his signing bonus is dead cap money because of an injury? Meh. That really doesn't matter too much because at that point, chances are our season is toast anyways and it's the same risk associated with ANY starting QB. You can't have one without paying big upfront dollars.

Nichols , in the end, will always be a successful Bomber QB. He took a 1-4 team in 2016 and propelled us to where we are today, contenders and now champions. He saved everyones jobs and it's a shame he had to go, but, it's the right football move. Good for Walters and whoever else was in on this decision to choose Zach over Matt. Couldn't have been easy.
 
Thank you Matt.

Just going to go back and delete the posts where I thought he wouldn't play and if he did, he would just get injured. Then, I'll go and erase all the posts where I said he wouldn't re-sign. 
I really wasn't expecting to have to do a lot of work today. This is going to seriously impact my forum surfing. 
 

and I really don't think that's an accurate statement... That guy was as into the Grey Cup game as anyone and as into the post game celebrations with the fans as anyone. 
He seemed to really be enjoying everything and if the Bombers ask him back I bet he's back. 
 

I think the most incredible thing about this news is that all three QBs who dressed for us in the 2007 Grey Cup are now head coaches of professional* teams! 
 
* Note that "professional" is used loosely in the case of the Cincinnati Bengals and Toronto Argonauts.

I agree he's a bit over-hyped, but man, dude played a month on a broken foot and absolutely laid it all on the line for this organization. You can't tell me he wasn't an instrumental part of our O this year. Even when his game was off, defenses had to plan and play around him, he completely changed the dynamic when he subbed in for our starter - whether it was Nichols or Collaros.
If nothing else, he's the best QB sneaker in the league and that alone is worth something.

Did You Know
Justin Medlock tied a record for most field goals and attempts in a Grey Cup?
6 for 7
Medlock. One of our best signings in this new era.
 

Streveler is an important piece moving forward.   Right now, the best short yardage guy in the league, a serious running threat from any formation whatsoever....and if he refines his pocket presence and accuracy - will be a total nightmare for defences

I ordered the gray hat that the store first posted. To me, it's not even really about the design, I want the same swag our boys were wearing while they drank out of Earl Grey's mug.

Wilson ran down Brandon Banks... I wouldn't be looking to replace that guy any time soon. 

Maston killed it at SAM in playoffs and last few games...and would come in cheaper...hope he's resigned and he just turned 27 this month so he's right in his prime

He's been doing that since Sunday night. The man is a goddamn beauty.
The CFL needs more guys like Chris Streveler. He's essentially a CFL version of Gronkowski.
I agree. That comment seemed to have a double meaning.
This parade was absolutely epic. The happiness was palpable. The energy was incredible. This celebration was long, long overdue.
Props to Nichols on that absolutely priceless T-shirt.

Anybody notice how much more range Bighill seemed to have on Sunday?  Hamstring healed?

Must sign? Oshea. 
 

Neither of those. We were watching ZC warm up and you said: “there’s your starting Quarterback.” 
Got any more predictions for us? 

How great is it to not have to hear them give us that 1990 crap or about the streak? We still have more cups and are the more recent champion.

Also to Kyrie Wilson. Anyone see him change directions and chase Banks down early in the game? 
Incredible play

I can't wait to see what Kongbo does next year with a full TC. He had some really big performances for us this year already. 

Watching the bombers win it live?

Thanks @Zontar. You have a helluva team with a bright future and outstanding coach and QB. I'm confident that the spoils will go to you guys soon 

The Strev to Harris touchdown was the throw of the game. Huge play. 

Some folks here have known me nigh upon 15 years. During this time we've had our wars and a fair number of laughs. But I am genuinely happy for you today. There are many posters here who never got to experience a championship and I hope you enjoy the hell out of it.
Obviously I'm thrilled that Hamilton didn't win... the few thousand of them who come to BMO to watch their games are pretty insufferable as it is... but if they could actually win? It would almost be too much to bear. THANK YOU OSH for sparing us that fate. 
There are things that you (Bomber fans) and I (a Prophet of Double Blue) will disagree on sooner than later (and you can likely imagine what specific thing I refer to)... but we will save that for another day while you bask in your Glory and I bask in my Relief.
