Posted December 18, 201311 yr comment_33414 Signed a two year extension today. I use the term "signed" loosely, since it's likely been signed for weeks now.
December 18, 201311 yr comment_33415 hope he makes it out of training camp this year. I don't think Reilly is going to live through another 18 game pounding like he took this year.
December 18, 201311 yr Author comment_33416 Nichols is a guy I'd like to cheer for when he's not playing Winnipeg. Always like to see a guy rebound after some nasty injuries.
December 18, 201311 yr comment_33417 Now that he's locked up for 2 years could he available in a trade?
December 18, 201311 yr comment_33419 Now that he's locked up for 2 years could he available in a trade? Trade for whom? I wouldn't give up too much to get him at this point.
December 18, 201311 yr comment_33420 If he's totally healthy he may be underrated as a starter.... Just a thought.
December 18, 201311 yr comment_33421 Balls. I was hoping we could pick him up. He's looked real good in limited action.
December 18, 201311 yr comment_33426 Right now I am really hoping we can land Collaros and Willy. It would be hard to pull off since I doubt Willy wants to move to another backup spot (though he could be sold on stepping in if Collaros sucks). I was hoping Nichols would hit FA but now our options are slowly shrinking.

It would be hard to pull off since I doubt Willy wants to move to another backup spot (though he could be sold on stepping in if Collaros sucks). I was hoping Nichols would hit FA but now our options are slowly shrinking. Every other team in the CFL has an established starter so I think Willy's odds of starting are still better in Winnipeg even if Winnipeg did sign Collaros. Like you said, Collaros still has a lot to prove.
December 18, 201311 yr comment_33437 If he's totally healthy he may be underrated as a starter.... Just a thought. Nichols still has some to prove before I would consider him starter material. Spot duty over a season ago isn't enough at this point.

I was hoping Nichols would hit FA but now our options are slowly shrinking. I agree - if we can pull off a Willy we should be extremely satisfied.
December 18, 201311 yr comment_33451 I think Willy understands his best shot at being a starter is here in Winnipeg, even with Collaros here. But the other question for him is this: if he's not a starter, is getting the #2 job easier in Sasktachewan, where he already has it, or in Winnipeg, over Max Hall? Or is it somewhere else?

If Collaros is here, Hamilton would be the best bet for Willy. Maybe even BC.
December 18, 201311 yr comment_33460 . That about says it all, KBF. Short and to the point. You've never been so concise.

Spot duty over a season ago isn't enough at this point. Same with Drew Willy. Nichols has the injury factor now hanging over him... Like Buck.

Spot duty over a season ago isn't enough at this point. Same with Drew Willy. Nichols has the injury factor now hanging over him... Like Buck. Buck is 20 times worse than Nichols.

That's pretty extreme.
December 18, 201311 yr comment_33469 Nichols has been too injury prone in his short time in the CFL. The way Reilly plays he's the next guy on that list. Admire his heart but he plays stupid. Buck was the same way when he came into the CFL. Reckless abandon that left him wrecked.

December 19, 201311 yr comment_33495 I seriously hope that 'pulling off a Willy' becomes a commonplace saying in 2014!
