When Porter and Glenn signed extensions on the same day before last season,
the dollars were similar with provisions for bonuses built in
that would reward the guy who ended up starting more games.
With Glenn now firmly entrenched as the number one, however,
even Porter’s base number was too high for a back up.
This new deal brings his dollars more in line with his role and
I would expect the team will try and extend Glenn at starter-like numbers.
Kevin was underpaid for 2 years …at the first Training Camp he was far better than Quinton.
IMO, he didn’t get # 1 money because the other CFL teams were satisfied with their # 1 QBs,
and Obie took advantage of the perception that Kevin had suddenly “lost it” in Winnipeg
despite the fact that he was nominated as the #1 QB in the West the year before.
I am glad that he will be compensated for the great year he had last year. He deserves it.
That deal has been in the works for some time but is still not done.
With Porter willing to take a little less cash to stay,
that made him more appealing to the Ticats.
…It’s not like the CFL is teeming with QB depth at the moment.
