    Zachary Collaros to Toronto?

    Any thoughts? He looked very good subbing for Ricky Ray in 2012. He can be very good. Riders might even pick up some of his salary?

    The Riders don’t want to expose him to future health issue so why would the Argos? I think he’s done.

    I wouldn’t be against it. Probably have to send Franklin the other way. I like Franklin but things haven’t exactly gone his way in Toronto.

    No thank you. He's never been able to stay healthy and at this point he should probably retire for his future health.

    Although after giving it some thought I'd be willing to trade MBT for him - once Franklin is healthy.

    If his health is ok, I’d send for him. A change is often as good as a test they say.

    With his concussion record, I cannot see he staying healthy for long as every concussion makes one more susceptible to more concussions. Therefore, I am against the Argos pursuing him.

    Sadly I say no thanks, way too many head injuries to take that chance.

    With our offensive line?? It would be suicide.

    With anyone's offensive line. Zach needs to call it a day.

    That's entirely his decision. If he wants to play, shows no symptoms and is cleared, who is anyone to tell him what to do in this regard?

    Agreed. Just like with Ray it's up to the athlete to decide.

    Collaros may decide he still wants to play but ultimately any given team needs to agree that he is worth the risk moving forward, which could be questionable.

    Understood. If you are to have him on the roster you better have a decent plan B. History isn’t on his side, but there is no guarantee he will get hurt again. I would love to see him sign on somewhere as a back up.

    He would be a good backup for sure.
    It’s a damn shame the way his career has unravelled due to injury.

    Clearly, the Argos read, digest and act on 95% of the ideas posted here. Haha
