I doubt anyone thinks they will all stay here. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I did mean that. For example, does Nichols still command $450,000 or does he take less overall or more in incentives given he's coming off a major injury. How much of a raise does Streveler command?

Booch Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I think Matt will get around what he got with a slight bump up...he won't be given huge upfront money like before, maybe half what he got last contract, but a larger base salary, same situation for Collaros I would think...Both I bet in and around 475-525k...how it's broken up is up to the GM but half as a signing bonus won't fly Strev I can see getting a 100k salary signing bonus..100k base and some kind of per start bonus ..likely 5k which if he met them all would net him 90k more and bring his total to just shy of 300k..which is fair and reasonable and something he would be happy with Noeller, Geebrr and GCJenks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard time wrapping my head around paying Nichols over $500 000. I am not sure that management would agree with the sentiment that he deserves a pay bump, I would prefer something with more performance based compensation. I guess if he comes back and just doesn't have it you can release him but can't afford big up front at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah both he and Collaros got 200k+ upfront bonuses before, and doubt they ever see that again, it's automatically up against your cap and if they get ko'd early on and are 6 gamed...you basically have no savings at all. Maybe it's written in yr 2 that they get a sizeable bonus if they are injury free, but going into this year ain't gonna happen GCJenks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear what you are saying. Nichols reaction Twitter to the Lapo announcement, the notification I received from Twitter that both Lapo and Nichols started following @redblacks ... They only part I might disagree with it overpaying Collaros, I think we make him a fair offer and he takes it or not. If he goes to FA he's not coming back here. My greatest fear is that we end up overpaying for Nichols after being shunned by Collaros before FA opens. We are 3 weeks out from the Grey Cup Victory, why hasn't a new contract for Osh been announced yet? Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes. That's lose-lose for everyone involved. Nichols will get eaten alive behind that porous O-line, Collaros if he can stay healthy might do alright here, but that's a biiig if...
