Aw crap he's trying out for the Dolphins he might actually make their team lol.

Id imagine hes on their roster soon if he was released this quickly

Jefferson is behind the 8-ball though...age and no PR time left..so he has to be on the  roster on game day, or it's nothing...plus being booted for off-field issues last time won't help his case

And he is not fresh out of college as well.

If Jefferson doesn't get some significant guaranteed money he will not sign in the NFL.

That too...people have to remember that these guys if/when they try out are not getting paid..so if they down there a long time in camp..then get cut..they are out the possible money in those 2 months thast they would have been making in the CFL...And guys with a family..Like Willie are not to keen on doing that unless a team forks out a nice signing bonus upfront..and now with caps on Free-Agent and Draftee bonuses allowed...it's highly unlikely

It would not surprise me to see Willie get guaranteed money.

He is an athletic freak with NFL skills. 

Dolphins also had a good experience taking a chance on Cameron Wake (in fairness, maybe the most dominant DE I can ever remember in the CFL).

I doubt teams care about some off field **** when he was 23 at this point. He has not had any issues up here.

Wake was also just turning 26..Willie will be 29...those 3 years in NFL eyes are big...also he has no PR eligibility left, and would not be making NFL minimum..so SMS..age..Politics of NFL are all against him, but as an athlete he no doubt belongs down there

Max signing bonus limit is really low for players with less than 4 years experience. However, the teams can guarantee as much of the base salary as they want. To date, the highest contract a CFL player has gotten in guaranteed money from the NFL is a 10k signing bonus and 85k of their contract guaranteed.

The lack of PR eligibility is a big factor, but he should be able to crack the roster. He plays ST on a much bigger field up here at minimum.

The 3down story says WJ has no interest in workouts unless a team is ready to give him a contract. He is not leaving to be a camp body.

It will be interesting to see how this goes.

Well at least we still have Jeffcoat but man, not liking this NFL interest so far.

Good luck to Willie BUT age alone is going to be a big factor....The nfl have their choice of young and upcoming players...Would Willie fit future plans in the long term in Fla.....doubt it and his pr eligibility makes his signing a little doubtful....Soooooo.'c'mon down to Wpg.' Willie....or I guess it should be c'mon up to Wpg. from that area

One of the drawbacks of being a successful team with a lot of talented pieces. 

This offseason will be a real test for Walters (and team) to see how the fill they holes.

I am not worried, we find good DEs all the time, and Craig Roh is a good player we could bring back.

WJ's age is not really a factor IMO. Freak athlete, never any major injury, DEs can play for a long ass time.

Age is a factor when you try and go up against very talented players who sport a 23 or 24 on their birth certificate

This why it's so hard to win back to back championships in the CFL these days.  One year contracts and the NFL vultures.

He's an older player so gonna be tough.

He is a freak athlete even amongst elite athletes.

His age shouldn't really be a factor to any team.

Well Roh will be an easy re-sign..and is damn good...also If Mcallister isn't on an XFL team I could see him back lickity split next year if we loose Jefferson..Jeffcoat..Roh..McCallister with Hansen spelling ain't the end of the world...plus Willie money could be used for somethng else in Free gency

Exactly, and that is just looking at it today. 

Lots of time to work on it,  guy like Chris Casher couldn't get on the roster without WJ in the way, and he is a starter in Calgary.
