Guest Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 $400k is a bit much IMO. While within that range seems to be the new norm, that's the new norm for proven starting QB's............... which Drew hasn't proven yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Crompton took his team to the playoffs, Willy didn't. Therefore Crompton is the better QB. IMO Crompton's by far the worst starting QB in the CFL currently, I'd be surprised if he's Montreal starting QB after Labour Day weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 So, it appears that Willy will be making 400k this yearNo, Walters said this year's cap number isn't affected. He got $150k of his $250k salary upfront. That's the only difference. Which is awesome... Just to add context, this came from Walters himself on H&L tonight. Which I also found out from sweep the leg. So there you go. 250k cap hit this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueandgoldguy Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I'm pleased with the extension. Bombers can't afford to lose Willy with no proven backup regardless of how many people claim Marve looked good in very limited reps last year. If it takes $400,000 after this year then so be it. If he continues to struggle this year and the following year behind an improved offensive line, then the team can always look at restructuring his contract or releasing him if another option presents itself.

yogi Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Crompton took his team to the playoffs, Willy didn't. Therefore Crompton is the better QB. The hair also puts him over the top. Crompton is rompin in that hair ... Willy, kinda silly ... Now there's a haircut you can set your watch to. Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So these aren't salaries for the year, but cap hit for the year. Generally speaking salaries are yearly pay plus bonus divided by years of a contract.

White Out Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 I don't have a huge issue with this deal, even not liking Willy that much. It's not guaranteed in the next 2 years, so if Willy continues to be mediocre we can let him go. If he plays again like he did first 5 games of last season, then great we have our franchise QB. It's low risk and high rewards. Good deal. As far as Willy goes himself... I'm not sold on him. You can't teach someone to be a good decision maker under pressure. That's a natural gift like speed and size. We have a small sample size on him, though, so hopefully he will turn it around and be a lot better next year.
