    First time I've heard that.
    Last year Zach wasn't moving around too well, he looked stiff, but this season it looks like he's got his legs back. At worst they're about the same in terms of mobility IMHO.

    FWIW Collaros is 4-14 since returning from his injury.

    I have to disagree. Masoli is not only more mobile, but considerably more willing to make things happen with his feet. Having said that, he still isn't the QB Collaros is. That is a bad team in front of him.

    Not only this games starter, but as Coach Jones said, starter for the coming weeks. $500 000 for Zack to ride the bench, all while the team needs more OL and receiving talent? I thought Collaros could be ours if we want him next year, but I fear he will be available a little too sooner than that.

    Agreed about the bad team around him. Over $500k for Collaros, over $260 for Laurent, and over $200k for Lawrence (all "reportedly" obviously), while that is a lot of money tied up in only a few players, I think Austin and Tillman have done a horrible job at replacing talent they've lost (Tillman seems to have a short shelf life), and I'm also of the opinion that Austin pushed away some decent coaches.

    that could be fixed with the offer of 3 Canadians to Hamilton by the Argos...........

    Interesting scenario, Argos apparently interested in bringing Collaros back.
    My guess is Collaros would flourish working with Trestman.

    Who knows?
    My guess is Brian Jones would be one guy the Argos would offer Hamilton.
    Argos should play it cool and see how long Hamilton is willing to pay Collaros his hefty salary.
    Personally I would be surprised if Argos and Hamilton consummated any deal.

    Didn't we already make that trade around this time last year?

    I'm glad it didn't happen again.

    I would hate to see Popp give up three young Canadians out of Waud, Noel, Jones, Campbell and Woodson to name some. None really starters right now but starters of the future. Plus probably a #1 pick. Popp never seems to value the #1 picks as others do. Maybe because the best players get passed over by most teams to take players who will be available the year they're drafted. Collaros has a base salary of 520,000 ? that supposedly is front loaded. Could be he is only owed maybe 300,000 in 2018, which could probably work somehow. But my concern is that Collaros doesn't look like the same QB we saw before his injuries. Maybe Hamilton feels the same way, and would like to unload him to make way for Johnny Football.

    Presumably management isn't being forced by ownership to make a trade for a QB like last year.

    Could be a made-up story since 3DN isn't exactly a reliable source, but I think the Cats would be nuts to trade him.

    I have never been a fan of the QB won loss record stat. The Cats are 4-14 since Collaros returned from injury IMO.

    Personally I think the Argos should sit tight and let things continue to implode in Hamilton and see if Collaros eventually gets released then see what happens if they are still interested (wish they'd have done the same last year).
    Hamilton seems in disarray and I'd be in no hurry to help them out of it, let them continue to pay their new back up QB his hefty salary until they figure it out.

    Apparently they already looked at Manziel and passed:

    When 2 Riders players missed camp because of Hicks trial and 3DN started making up roster scenarios, where Jones suspended them to have more players at camp. A lot of dumb articles written on there.

    Good point. It is reliable for some funny reader comments.

    I've always found Drew Edwards to be reliable.
