Every team currently has about 20 potential free agents. Nobody is favoured to win anything quite yet.

I wonder if the league has any idea where the SMS will land going forward. There may be hesitance to spend to an SMS that might be going down. Revenue is certainly going to take time to rebound.

The foundation stone of our defence. Great to have him returning. Dominant player and team leader.

Good work Walters.

Bryant and Colloros the must must keep guys

Couture and Alexander the must keep guys

Then I'll be pretty content.

This is the way.

Here's hoping Walters can make it all work.

Very glad he is back, we are retaining much of our top end D talent. Over all roster I want Bryant to be the next name we extend.

It could be done and not announced yet. Hard to tell. By that definition we aren't going to re-sign anybody else because it would already be done.  Signings are being announced 1 at at time.

If signing him for more means that we lose several other potential starters then hypothetically it's too much. At this point we don't know who wants what or where the financial line is drawn for each player. The roster SMS has to be spread / spent across the entire roster.

If for example giving Collaros $50K more than I suggested, would we be prepared to NOT sign Bighill or A. Harris to make up the difference?

OTOH if we can re-sign our entire 2021 roster and still give Collaros more, then I'm all for it.

That's not a realistic view. Who are we willing to not re-sign in order to sign those that we do?

17 starters not re-signed yet. How much below the SMS ( pro-rated ) would we have been in 2021 calculated at regular season? Was there room left at the CAP? IDK, just asking the question.

If Collaros goes to free agency and the Argos offer him $600K are we going to try and top that for example?  Same question for many of our starters: Bighill, Alexander, Bryant, A. Harris to name a few.

Technically we don't even know if the SMS stays the same or is going down.

I'm all for giving him " more " if it's available in our SMS but there has to be a practical and tactical line drawn.

It's certainly possible that ZC's contract is locked in a drawar, I personally believe we'd have heard about it.

I think the upper range of your estimate would place him in the lower tier of QB salaries and I don't think Walters even started with that number(I'm hoping for around 520 but bracing myself for around 550).

But honestly the difference between 500 and 550 means cutting a guy like Adams and putting in a younger receiver. Shifting Harris to a contract that reflects his new value or moving on completely.

The difference in the quality of QB is greater than almost any other trade off on the roster.

Awesome!!!

Good signing, how much was the contract worth?
