Riders to meet with QB Zach Collaros

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are planning to meet with pending free agent quarterback Zach Collaros prior to the market opening on Feb. 12, according to head coach Craig Dickenson

I think @ZCollaros7 got a lot of good years left and we're going to visit with him. We want to take into consideration the guys we have on our team before we start looking elsewhere. – Craig Dickenson #CFL #Riders via @SportsOn770

Collaros was acquired by the Riders in January 2018 from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for a second round draft pick. Saskatchewan paid Collaros $430,000 last year and the 30-year-old started 14 games for Saskatchewan last season, passing for 2,999 yards, nine touchdowns and 13 interceptions. However, Collaros missed four games due to injury.

Zach Collaros, when he's on, he's as good as there is. I like his competitiveness. I like his toughness as a player. Whenever a guy gets a concussion, you're worried about that for the future. That's something we're concerned about – Craig Dickenson #CFL #Riders via @SportsOn770
