Last post by gobombersgo - Today at 03:38:09 AMBlue Bombers sign QB Zach Collaros to a one-year extension
May 23, 2025
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed quarterback Zach Collaros to a one-year contract extension through the 2026 Canadian Football League season.
Collaros is entering his sixth season with the Blue Bombers and has firmly established himself as one of the greatest pivots in franchise history.
A two-time Grey Cup champion with the club in 2019 and 2021, he has helped guide the team to five straight championship game appearances while twice being named the CFL's Most Outstanding Player (2021, 2022) and CFL All-Star (2021, 2022). No other quarterback in league history has started more than three consecutive Grey Cup games.
Since his arrival from Toronto at the trade deadline in October of 2019, the Blue Bombers are 57-18, including playoffs, in games in which he has started.
His 49 regular season wins ranks third in franchise history behind only Ken Ploen (82) and Dieter Brock (71) and his 16,177 passing yards is fifth in Blue Bombers history.
Collaros threw for a career-best 4,336 yards in 17 games in 2024 with 17 touchdowns against 15 interceptions as the team was 10-7 in his 17 starts. He had four 300 yards-plus passing performances last year, including a season-high 432 yards in a win over Edmonton in September. He also threw for six touchdowns in that game, tied for second most in franchise history with Sean Salisbury (Sept. 10, 1989, vs. B.C.) and Jack Jacobs (Oct. 4, 1952, vs. Calgary) behind Jim Van Pelt's record seven touchdown game against Saskatchewan on August 29, 1959.
Collaros has now suited up for 158 career CFL games with Toronto (2012-13), Hamilton (2014-17), Saskatchewan (2018-19) and Winnipeg (2019-). His 32,935 career passing yards ranks 17th in CFL history and his next passing TD will be the 200th of his career.

They are rough. Their colour guy literally grunts as we pick up first downs. Has nobody told him it sounds terrible? That's more bush league than the stream x50.

Last post by gobombersgo - Today at 03:35:37 AM48-Hour Primer Blue Bombers Training Camp Report Day 12
May 22, 2025 Ed Tait
FYI: The Blue Bombers will release their first preseason depth chart on Friday in advance of Saturday's tilt. Head coach Mike O'Shea said teams can dress as many players as they like for home preseason games with likely only the injured players not in the lineup.
Not practising over the last few days have been Canadian DBs Josh Hagerty and Ethan Ball, receivers Gavin Cobb and Nic Demski while Stanley Bryant was in attendance and uniform, but not in gear.

Last post by Blue In BC - Today at 03:34:33 AMQuote from: Jesse on Today at 03:33:08 AMHas Dalton played much beyond getting that pass from Zach?
I don't think so. Neither has Demski but you know they have starters roles locked down.

Last post by Blue In BC - Today at 03:33:14 AMQuote from: Sir Blue and Gold on Today at 03:30:07 AMIt was Weitz. 8th overall in the 2024 Global draft.
He was already in tough with all the LB depth we have. Now he has to beat out Bailey who would be more valuable as a rotation player at DE. That said I hope his injury is not serious.

Last post by Jesse - Today at 03:33:08 AMQuote from: Blue In BC on Today at 03:32:08 AMNone of the receivers except Wheatfall have done anything. I haven't seen or heard Adair, Kwemo or Gassama get mentioned as far as Canadian receivers.
Some of these cuts are going to be easy on offence. On defence it's going to be more difficult.
