July 29, 2024Jul 29 comment_714307 Does anyone know the logistics of releasing a player with a guaranteed contract? Or do we know the specifics of Collaros' contract? Is part of it guaranteed? All 600+k of it?What if we released him in the off-season (I doubt they would)? Does the whole contract count against the cap?

IF we were to cut him now we would be on the hook for what he earned this yr so far (bonus ad salary) and would be on books for 250k for 2025...even tho not here...only way out is we deal him....he retires after season.....or he renogotiates and we get rid of that....and cant see him doing that...so we hooped

We’re stuck. I wonder if Calgary would be desperate enough to do a Collaros/Maier swap and we can start fresh.

July 29, 2024Jul 29 comment_714321 No one is trading for ZC and that contract. And, if they do, it's for a roll of hockey tape, slightly used.

July 29, 2024Jul 29 comment_714326 GC 2025 in WPG was announced before Zach's extension... seems to me the whole brain trust was willing to gamble on Zach being 'the man' all the way thru 2025, willfully ignoring the likelihood of him falling apart by then. It was an expensive gamble hoping for the best, and it's not working out for us

July 29, 2024Jul 29 comment_714331 Mobility becoming a concern with Zack....He used to be able to get outside and deliver but I don't see the same Zack in that situation now....He's slower and his penchant for trying to make the 'big play' and throwing into tight coverage is another problem......I can't see him being around these parts in 25'....if he is and further deterioration of his game persists we could be in for a long Cup year....Should never have signed him for that 3rd year

July 30, 2024Jul 30 comment_714345 I’ll probably catch **** for saying this, but..I wouldn’t be upset if they traded Olivera for a huge windfall. Love Brady, he’s probably my favourite Bomber right now for a number of reasons but they just don’t use him enough for having so much cap space tied up in the RB position. I don’t think they can manage with Zach, Brady and Kenny all on the roster next year, it just leaves too much deficiency everywhere else.

July 30, 2024Jul 30 comment_714350 Zach could be traded. Either it’d be to a team desperate for a qb, or a qb swap with moderate assets included. Mbt is the prime candidate. Edm may well be willing to move on from mbt whose deal would offer us cap savings. Assuming now that jones is gone they won’t be making silly trades, they’d probably want a real asset. Maybe a mid pick, or they might want some one like eli/dobson/wallace. The dream scenario would be to dump some one like Thomas/biggie/kola too but I doubt they’d go for that now.

How would it work if he was unable to play next season due to injury? Under normal circumstances, we couldn't release him this season if he was injured and have to wait until the off season. Could we still do that or because of the guarantee, would we just park him on the 6 game all next year. He still gets paid but it wouldn't go against the cap.
