expunging of Kolo - what became of him?

See? This is why you wanted to change the discussion from Collaros getting paid too much to something else that you could debate. It's why the discussion of who would have been better is academic. Just mental masturbation.
FTR: It doesn't matter who was available because we gave Collaros his contract before we even knew who was available.

You go dig your foxhole & keep staying in it. Zach is overpaid & that's the end of it. Your take is baseless. There was no one out there we could have signed two years ago that would have done better than him so the Bombers gave Collaros an extension. You mentioned Fajardo & Adams would be your qb choices. Faj was dumped after winning a Grey Cup. Adams has never won anything & is so inconsistent that he's like a Jekyll & Hyde personality as a qb. If that is your choices, most fans would be happy with Zach.

I missed the "mental masturbation" comment directed at me by TBTurg. Not surprised, tried discussing things with him respectfully & he has no response except that?? Asshat. Okay, got it...

Hard money or total contract. It doesn't matter. Both tell the same story.

Money is the discussion.

What is inconsequential is who could take his place, but Adams and Faj-JJ were both available in 2025, would have cost half the money, and played significantly better. This year the pickings are slim, but that doesn't mean that Collaros is being paid properly

No, only one tells the story of whether, or by how much a player might be over paid in comparison to his peers. TOTAL salary. Any comparison of partial salary attained thru Hard money vs bonuses does not and cannot tell that tale. Using it out of context is either the author of the post not using logic, or the author of a post hoping that the lack of logic is overlooked.

If, as you say, both tell the same tale then post up total salary amounts as they are required to prove your point.
