Collaros' six-game IL is a cap play that forces a Brown referendum

Zach Collaros was moved to the six-game injured list with a head injury earlier this week, which in the CFL removes his salary from the cap for those games and hands Dru Brown a six-game audition. Brown is 29, was 2-2 as a starter earlier this season including a win over Toronto, and just produced 16-of-28 for 193 yards, two passing TDs, one rushing TD, and two INTs in a 30-28 loss. That's not just injury management; it's a front-office bet on whether Brown is the cheap successor or a bridge.
