Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: Blue Bombers add quarterba...
Last post by bunker - March 06, 2026, 04:37:37 AMQuote from: Tecno on March 06, 2026, 12:47:28 AMTell us more! I'm a bit shocked, as it doesn't make sense at this juncture. The roster is pretty set. There are no more FAs. WPG has zero options at QB.
Even if all of a sudden Zach decides to be the nicest guy in the world to help the team, I'm not sure it can help the team NOW. 3 months ago, sure. But now it's too late? Unless KW went over budget and asked Zach to bail him out.
Of course... that's assuming we got Zach to go LOWER. Maybe Zach made them restructure HIGHER!
This is all I've got:
"Bombers QB Zach Collaros has re-structured his contract, per the CFL transaction wire.
This is usually a cap move to convert money to guaranteed money and aid both the player and team.
Last May Collaros signed an extension through the 2026 season."
So I'm assuming salary got converted to bonus money, which is taxed less, allowing bombers to decrease the cap hit while Zach takes home the same money. Downside is if he's injured, and 6 gamed, we get less of a break on the cap. I believe Harris did the same for riders last year.

The Bluegars started the season splitting every series, but then steamrolled everybody. They swept their final series against UBC, Calgary, and Sask. Although they dominated Calgary in the semi-finals, it took three games and it was very close all along. Closer than it should have been, perhaps.
The Banjo-Mutts were pre-season favourites who never really got on a roll. They were very consistent all year, and may be peaking now. They dominated the Evil Monkeys in the quarter-finals then handled UBC fairly handily in the semi-finals. I would say that their 4-straight playoff wins are more impressive than MRU's series win over Calgary.
Less than a month ago, the Bluegars swept the Mutts in a series to decide first place.
None of these games are slated for coverage on the CBC streaming options.

Probably just re-arranged the numbers to better suit one side or the other, maybe they went wild and designated more of Zach's salary to the marketing budget.

Last post by Tecno - March 06, 2026, 12:51:39 AMQuote from: dd on March 05, 2026, 04:26:09 PMHaha, good one, proves my point even better. Most would argue ford doesn't belong in any qb room but is there only because he's a NAT.
I'm not sure about that. C.Jones AR'd that Loxley(?) guy quite a bit, at QB and even other positions? Dude was very similar to Ford. Super athletic but can't seem to make it work at QB.
And he wasn't even a NAT!
Point being, that IMP had a roster spot, so why not Ford who has the benefit of basically being a free dress as a NAT.
What they should do is designate Ford as a non-QB, NAT, AR guy. That way they can still dev & dress 2 other real QB prospects.
Is it legal to field ZERO designated QBs for a play? Or does there always have to be 1+? Those plays where teams sneak with a TE or RB... is there a QB out wide? Or no QB?

And the facilities... and the low fan attendance... and the lack of perks (family stuff, etc)...
People bad mouth the CFL but in some ways they have it really cush, at least compared to the Lame Leagues.
