Collaros released and apparently signed with Hamilton

[ArgoZ]

I think we can be reasonably certain that Diamond Jimmy Barker has already planted this seed with Collaros. There are certain "perks" available in Toronto that they can't offer in the Hammer. What a wild scenario that would be, at a time maybe when both the Cats and the Argos are experiencing a revival with sellouts at their respective stadiums?

A lot of Argo players have left on good terms, something that Barker excels at. Of course, it always comes down to money, and if Collaros commands a good salary in three years, the Argos will sure be able to provide that. This is a huge gamble to hand a starting job over to Collaros. It will sure be interesting to see how it turns out.

I'm happy the Argos are a contending team, who won the 100th Cup. They acquired a great backup with Collaros and let's hope they can do it again.

Like Huff before him Austin shows how toxic Burris' salary or any other aging expensive veteran is when you have to address other areas of the team to get better. Salary cap is a two edged sword.

P.S. Welcome to Hamilton Zach !

Is Collaros' salary that much less than Burris'?

Burris reportedly made $300K last season.

But ZC aint 39 years old this season which is the tipping point.

LOL!!

And Foggie looked darned good in relief during those years before he got the starters job.

And who did Foggie replace to get that starting job? By replace I mean outplay. Who exactly?

Big ZC fan here, but really how do walk away from Ray after he had a superb statistical season in 2013? Answer from a greater football mind than anyone here? You don't. Ray's got at least 3 more good years in him. ZC? Still who knows.
