Collegiately, Young spent two seasons at Sussex County Community College (2021-22) as an offensive lineman in 2021, and switched to defensive lineman in 2022 with eight tackles (4 solos, 4 assists), 3.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, one fumble recovery, and one blocked kick in seven games for the Skylanders.

I said I'd make that trade, not Kyle Walters.

Highly paid players do get traded and often as part of the deal they are forced to renegotiate their contract downward.  It happened a few years ago when Trevor Harris was traded from the Elks to the Als and took a massive chop in salary.

We can all agree that Zach did not perform exceptionally well in 2025.  But too many people are putting it all on Zach.  He had a new OC who seemed to struggle and could be replaced in 2026, and a weaker Oline that will require upgrades and who were responsible for protecting Zach who was under pressure most of the year.  He also had receivers who also struggled this past season.

Just to say it was not all on Zach.  He deserves another year with some necessary upgrades before deciding he should take a reduced role or be traded.

Nice win. Comrie rock solid. Helps to get some secondary scoring. 4th line played like they did early in the season, good to get them back together.

Quote from: JockitchwithRich on December 05, 2025, 05:37:09 PMWould appreciate clarification on the acronym of MMM or MM in relation to contracts, nothing with Google

Love the Bombers and great athletes like Brady ...... however Walters is in tough and we already have Peterson
MM = marketing money I believe.

Not sure on MMM though. Maxmimum? Minimum?

Quote from: Jesse on Today at 02:47:04 AMNo offence, but this is straight up nonsense. I'll pound the table for Zach all day long, but even if the team wanted to trade him (they do not), he's a 600k QB. No one is trading for him when they already have their announced starter.

Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on Today at 12:50:40 AMNot many options available this off-season but I would straight up trade him to the Argos for Arbuckle, he may not be the best but you get a cheaper, younger, more mobile QB with a decent arm that is intelligent enough to be coached to success with the help of a good OC.

Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on Today at 12:55:57 AMI hope Walters doesn't backup the re-signing process like he did the year they had to re-sign, Brady, Dalton and Lawler. That exercise made everyone antsy.

It's not an easy spot to be in. Do you just want to give up on Brady immediately? He wants and has the ability to see what's out there. We can and probably will re-sign him, but it means leaving space available to do so.
