I was one of those who argued strenuously back in 2014 that we should go with Collaros and kiss Ricky goodbye.
I’m still not convinced we made the right decision to let Collaros go.
Considering his outstanding play at times in Hamilton, and considering his excellent recent play with Winnipeg, it’s not hard to imagine Collaros leading the Argos to more than one Cup win over the past six seasons.
IMO teams should (and will) be able to dress a third QB if they are willing to use one of their backup NAT or INT slots for him. So, for instance, O'Connor could dress as one of the 21 NATs, or Prukop could dress as one of the 20 INTs (in addition to two designated QBs). I don't know whether, if a team were to do this, the third QB could be on the field at the same time as one of the two designated QBs. I personally don't see why he couldn't be, but the league had a rule in the past that designated QBs could not play other positions so who knows.

Jerry’s comments are pretty solid.
I would try to keep Beltre (for reasons previously listed) and Rodney Smith who surprisingly was very effective in 2019, I would move on from Armanti Edwards, JerMaine Gabriel and Chris Rainey.

Flutie was on a personal services contract for most of his money. He likely had a smallish cfl player contract as well, which presumably did get him paid that amount. But the bulk of his salary was in a personal services deal between him and owner Larry Ryckman that was outside the league's purview. Both men talked about this in the Flutie episode of A Football Life which is shown periodically on NFL Network. Ryckman admits not paying and has the stones to say that despite that, he doesn't feel he owes Flutie a dime.
