I wouldnt want to live in that world. I don’t think he’d have near the success he had in Winnipeg elsewhere. He’s protected well, comfortable in the O… just my take
January 13, 20223 yr comment_550648 I'm all for giving Collaros fair market value but he also has to realize that he played behind one of the best o lines this league has ever seen and a great supporting cast Edited January 13, 20223 yr by bustamente

January 13, 20223 yr comment_550650 I want Zach back, at a fair market price, that doesn't hurt us overall. To sum up, glad I am not Walters.

You know you could sign Dane Evans for $400,000, do you suck it up with Zach or take Dane and use the extra $150,000 elsewhere? Buck with Dane could be a big developmental jump for Evans,if Zach doesn't budget at 550 then I'm calling Dane immediately

In terms of developing Dane? I'm not sure about that statement...
January 13, 20223 yr comment_550654 In a wild scenario where Dane Evans is the Bombers’ qb, he’ll be behind the best OL in the league, he won’t be subjected to the wpg Jeffensive line, and he’ll be on team FIFO, not withering in the big game with a bunch of all-talk me-first quitters. So there’s that. Or, Collaros stays.
January 13, 20223 yr Author comment_550657 "...I’m pissed that Winnipeg was able to keep their front office together. They would have had a tougher time retaining players if (assistant general managers) Ted (Goveia) and Danny (McManus) had been hired elsewhere. I hope (Canadian offensive lineman) Drew Desjarlais signs in the NFL. That’ll hurt them..."
January 13, 20223 yr comment_550660 When Collaros was with other teams, he took an ungodly pounding which nearly ended his career. With the Bombers, he rarely got his jersey soiled. He and his wife have to consider whether he wants to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair or being unable to life his head without hurting. He ought to talk to Matty Dunigan about that.
January 13, 20223 yr comment_550662 Zack is...and knows he's a successful product of the environment he was in here, and has been kept clean, and safe, and is in the right "team" first environment...and I don't see him holding us over a barrel, and do the opposite of what guys like Willie..Biggie did in a team first move to help keep pieces in place to get to the end prize...If he made 41ok last year, and we come at him with a 475/485k salary, thats fair, and will be in line with other top end starters, save for Fajardo and everyone and their dog in and around the league see that as a sick joke...I see us getting him for 500k tops...likely just under That being said, I also see Bryant back at what he was last year, and Harris will come in at less too...all easily managed for this coming year, and If Adams is back, He probably coming in at the same as last yr too at the most...likely a slight shave as he isn't defacto #1 anymore, so won't command that. As many as we have to retain, a lot were already at top end of the pay scale and won't be requiring big bumps, and some who may be back are on the downside now of career, and are not focal points, so will be at a discount. Guys who are due a significant bump are Kenny, Stove, Desjarlais (if he doesnt sign) Kongbo (whom may be back sooner than later as he is a futures deal) and lesser extent Darby and Rose...I don't include Bryant cause he will be the same hit basically, and he always waits till we re-up key guys first as he is all about team, then sees what kind of lil extra kick he can get once Biggie and BA are wrapped up.

January 13, 20223 yr comment_550672 So if Evans is high 300k, low 400k and BLM is 425k, I think @Boochis right and 475-485k seems about right for Zach.

If I'm Masoli im avoiding Ottawa like the plague And yes in a sense that gives Zach some leverage but Hamilton would have been a premiere destination for Zach. No way he signs in Ottawa. That leaves really us and Toronto Edited January 13, 20223 yr by CodyT
