2026 Winnipeg Blue Bomber Salaries

I've been playing around with this information, with a few assumptions.

Either, they are right up against the cap or over it. I have them around 6.1 million, but again, I've made assumptions.

Maybe Collaros isn't making 600K and/or maybe a few back-up QBs are making less than 125K.

I mean, we don't even know who's on the team yet. Even besides the fact that we can't project how many people will get injured or spend time on the 1 game or 6 game IR, we don't know how many guys on first year deals will be on the active roster. Not to mention the bonuses paid out in 2025 or use of marketing money.

It's just a fool's errand.

I'm not looking for exact numbers. Just a general ball-park of where the money is going. We can probably get close.

It must be super difficult to plan and budget for all contingencies, having backups ready to go for every player on the starting lineup who could be injured and miss the entire season. Much worse when numerous players from the same position group go down together, I believe the Sask. O-line dealt with that situation 3-4 years ago.

It's is, but I'm sure they keep records of average man time lost and how much they need to hold in reserve in order to account for extra players coming in for people on the 1 game injured list.

We could absolutely get a ball park for salaries. We just have no idea what is going against the 2026 salary cap.

I heard an interview Walters did last season and he really knew his numbers with respect to his team's injuries, the league average, etc.

He knows whats going on.
