Don't hold your breath on that one. The TiCats just need to offer Collaros a fair extension before the season starts(350-400k).
Collaros would be nuts not to take it considering he's coming off major knee surgery. And the fact that he's missed games due to various injuries the last two years.
After hearing Zack on TSN 1150 multiple times...I really think he likes it in the hammer.
There is also the possibility that some NFL team will take notice of Collaros - and give him a shot, and even though he will not exactly be a young QB prospect to them; a team in need that has the guts or vision to give a good CFL QB a shot is not out of the question. Collaros, Reilly and Mitchell are all probably 10x better than that stiff Houston trotted out in the play-offs last year. Warren Moon & Dieter Brock (plus Flutie NFL redux) got NFL calls when they were older QBs; but the NFL seems to have greatly cooled on CFL QBs getting a shot in the past number of years = which is great IMO - their loss and good for the CFL.
The only reasons I doubt Milanovich and Barker make a play for Franklin is #1. Milanovich is very high on Kilgore (things could change) and #2. Tillman is not known for paying QB's hefty salaries, so maybe just maybe the Argonauts go hard after Collaros if he becomes available. Another thing to keep in mind - it's been reported that Chris Jones is the one who found and brought Franklin in; could mean something when FA 2017 ramps up.
