I'm not sure how this is even a conversation worth going back and forth on.
QBs get paid that's the top position in football. When a QB is playing at the level he was he was not singing for pennies I'm not sure what the issue is here. They made the call and he was on an expiring deal he was signed to an extension. There is zero guarantee you are going to sign a player in free agency so the best bet was to keep the guy who you know you can sign.
He might be overpaid but the CFL is easy to negotiate new deals. He really wasn't 100% #### when he signed like you keep pointing out. He was looking like someone who was about to take another step but obviously it's gone south but it happens. Look around the league the best QB is backing up Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville the rest is pretty much garbage.
