sweep the leg Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Interesting trade. What are the chances of Collaros redoing his contract with them? Seems like a worthwhile gamble to take for the Riders. Edited January 3, 2018 by sweep the leg bearpants and SPuDS 2
JCon Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 I'm not surprised at the return. He's due a lot of money and has struggled for a couple of seasons. I'm surprised the Riders are willing to pay him his full contract. blue_gold_84, SPuDS and Goalie 3
Brandon Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 Perhaps Glenn comes back to Winnipeg as our back up / 3rd stringer? Colin Unger and SPuDS 1 1

Good move for the Riders. Collaros has a huge contract and was terrible last season, so I don't think it's that surprising. blue_gold_84, SPuDS and Goalie 3
JCon Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 It's going to be a very full house when Franklin gets to Saskatchewan too. That's part of the plan, right? That's what we were told, unequivocally. Noeller, Mark F, SPuDS and 3 others 3 1 2
Booch Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 Maybe this will put their Franklin pipe dreams to bed...finally If I was Collaros too I wouldn't renegotiate....take his bonus due in the winter and if Sask doesn't like it and won't take on the contract then they pay, or let him go...and most likely goes to Montreal with a nice bonus alresdy in his pocket, so his salary elsewhere could be reduced....thats my new years wish lol SPuDS, Bigblue204 and rebusrankin 2 1
Atomic Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 Good move for Sask. Their new starting QB for a second round pick. He will bounce back. MOBomberFan, SPuDS, DR. CFL and 2 others 3 2
BBlink Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 I really doubt they traded for him with any idea other than to make them their starting QB. He will be making starters money. Is Glenn an FA? SPuDS and DR. CFL 2
Noeller Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 @ArashMadani How's this for irony: the pick sent to Saskatchewan from Montreal in the Darian Durant deal just became Zach Collaros. #CFL Tracker, SPuDS and rebusrankin 1 1 1
Noeller Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 @TSNScianitti Building on earlier reports, under Zach Collaros’s current contract, he is owned a roster bonus of 200K by February 1 #Riders #Ticats #CFL Tracker, blue_gold_84 and SPuDS 3

rebusrankin Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 It appears to be a good move for the Riders in Collaros can regain his previous form. I do wonder about the monetary side of this, last season Glenn was the lowest paid starter at about what $250,000-$300,000. You have to assume Collaros gets $400,000 or more. How does that impact the rest of the roster?

17to85 Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 I would unfortunately think that a renegotiated deal is coming pretty quick for Collaros, but hey here's to hoping they pay him the assload of money he's owed in this contract. Atomic, Mark F, rebusrankin and 2 others 4 1
rebusrankin Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 Thing is how much of a haircut does Collaros take? You have to assume its still $400,000. Plus what did Bridge get in terms of bonus $? Once again, it sucks that the CFL does publish salary info like every other league.
TBURGESS Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 If Collaros tries to hold out for his $200K bonus, he'll be cut a day before it's due. He'll have to renegotiate if he wants a chance to start this year. I suspect the numbers have already been decided on and we will see a new contract story sometime soon. I'd offer him his $200K bonus and another $150-200K in salary/bonuses for the season. Big risk on this trade, but that's what Jones is all about. IF Collaros gets back to his former self, then it will be a steal and the RIders will have their QB of the future RFN. If Collaros continues to 'Willy', which is what I think will happen, then Bridge will have to step up and take the starting QB job or else the Riders are back to square one in the QB department.
BBlink Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 I wouldn't say it's a for sure thing by any means that the contract gets restructured. Chris Jones going to play hardball with who he wants as his starting QB? Montreal's looking for a QB too.

See, heres the thing.. Willy wasn't ever even remotely as good as Collaros in my mind. if Collaros can even regain some of his former glory, this is a good deal for saskabush. Willy would have had to come back at 100% and maintained it after all the hits and injuries to be worthwhile. I don't think Collaros needs to be back at his original 100% to still be very good.. I think once hes back and in the groove though, he will get back to a very effective level. Mark F and DR. CFL 2
Stickem Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 Something has got to give in Sask....Bridge still under contract,Adams,Glenn also and now they've added Collaros...Somebody is going to get moved and I bet Mr. Bridge is not the happiest of campers right now...Interesting...Glenn to us or Edm. I would suppose UNLESS Ray gives it up in T.O. and heads back to the igloo....Lot's of moves to play out after this trade by Corky

Jpan85 Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 12 hours ago, Atomic said: There would be some logistical challenges with Halifax. There are no direct flights from Halifax to BC but if they could charter a plane it is still a seven hour flight. If Halifax is playing BC at home at 7 pm, in Vancouver it will be 3 pm. Likewise if Halifax plays at 7 pm in BC, it will be 11 pm back home. Bad for the fans and bad for the players who basically have to play in the middle of the night. It's not just a coincidence that the Eastern teams have always struggled in BC... even when Montreal was good. Obviously Halifax would only deal with the BC issue twice a year but the problem would still be there for the other Western teams, just to a lesser extent. Is there enough real interest in Halifax? Is there anyone that will own the team and support it and not abandon it at the first sign of trouble? Is it really worth it to expand to Halifax just for sentimental reasons? Who says the games have to be at night. Saturday afternoon game would work. Mark F 1
bluto Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) When Collaros looked like the next real deal, he was competing with Trevor Harris and veteran Jarious Jackson, playing behind Ricky Ray, QB coached by Jason Maas, Coordinated by Marcus Brady and Head Coached by Scott Milanovich. He left that particular QB greenhouse and promptly lost his mojo. Remind me how many excellent QBs work on the Rider's staff again? Edited January 3, 2018 by bluto Forgot Jackson. My Bad, JJ.
