Why would an NFL team contact a CFL team? That doesn't make sense. NFL teams contact agents. The CFL teams don't speak for players.

Jerry was a great player. He could play both ways & was not only an All Star qb. He was also an All Star defensive back as well. Cut in the same mould & from the same generation as Ken Ploen. Both guys could go both ways. Keeling came into the CFL in the early 60's playing defense while being the Stamps backup qb at the same time. It wasn't until Peter Liske left Calgary for the Denver Broncos after the 1968 season did he get a chance to start. He quarterbacked the Stamps to a Grey Cup victory in 1971 & along with former Blue Bomber qb Rick Cassata, the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1973.

I guess when you publicly declare that someone's going to be the "best ever" before you get that contract signed you kinda weaken your bargaining position.

If anything the agent would want to talk with them as an NFL deal would increase their bottom line. A cfl team is likely to tell them to take a hike.
