I'd like to Thank the WinnipegBlueBombers Organization/Fans/Town for the Great Hospitality. Good Luck on the season!

I'm guessing he decided the CFL isn't for him and left.

Hahahahahaha wow.

Awesome.

 

*Cue the circus music

Probably thought he'd play right away.

Yeah, WTF.  Bring this guy in, play him, and go from there.

 

How does this guy come all the way up here and not even end up on the field.

Really doesn't seem like the team initiated the release.  Just doesn't make sense.  Seems kinda like the OL that left us after a day late last season, Dan Barbados or whatever.

what in the blue hell...

sigh.

Too many issues on the team, not a good environment for him. Chose to leave.

Good riddance if this is true. Bad attitude. Don't need any more 'me first' kinda guys on this team.

I think it is unfair to label him as "Bad attitude" and a 'me first' kinda guy.

 

If the situation is anything other than what you may have been led to believe, then it is better to get out before you get in too deep.    At least this didn't happen after a couple weeks when we had really high hopes.

Where'd you hear this?  Official line is that he had another NFL opportunity

Makes it up as he goes...

Also says that he will come back in NFL opportunity doesn't pan out, so I highly doubt the environment or his attitude is any issue considering it's been said he'd be back.

I blame the Muamba brothers and their propensity to re-cycle.

Either that or...he didn't meet the height requirements. (Too tall)

Same person that told me he signed.

 

I hope it's not true, but I don't see how suddenly a day into the NFL season there's interest in a 29 year old pensioned, high min salary guy who's been out of the league for two years.

I don't know why he left, but doesn't it seem a little far fetched that he'd leave because there are "too many issues" on the team? What would he and his agent have expected signing with a 1-8 team?

Until I see something concrete that proves the official line is not true, I'll chalk it up to potential NFL interest.

to do what?  Go work as a greeter at Walmart?  Seriously, this sounds just plain silly.

Either way, it doesn't really matter. He's gone, and that sucks. Really thought he'd have some success up here....Like Bolden during his first tour.

I don't know, I'm just passing along what I was told. Sorry.

Yeah it does seem kinda fishy.

If true then uggghhhhhh.............

Tim Burke just said there was an agreement when he signed that if there was NFL interest he would leave but return if it didn't pan out.

The moral to this story is don't bring a guy in unless he has agreed to a contract in advance. Somebody may have dropped the ball on this one.

It was a mutual agreement to let him ago if opportunities arose and for him to come back.

Lets bring guys in that want to be here. Not guys that see this as a fall back plan.
