Collaros’ injury gives Winnipeg a cold contractual off-ramp

Collaros is 38 and has thrown for 2,204 yards, 11 TDs and 6 INTs in nine starts; Brown is 29 and was re-acquired from Ottawa in June after going 12-13-1 as a starter there. If Brown can merely match Collaros’ 70.6% completion rate down the stretch, the front office gains leverage to restructure or move on from Collaros’ deal without a fan backlash.
