We drafted him, right? I have a feeling that he wouldn't play for us. With his entire family on theLower mainland, I think he'd want to play for BC.

We own his rights. Not his choice.

If he sticks for 4-ish years, even without becoming a regular starter, he could make enough money to retire. IF he is fiscally wise. And if he doesn't have that burning desire to play football. Neither of which is a tremendous chance imo. If he doesn't become a starter down there, I think he will be up here. 

 The only real move could be if he forces a trade, which I think has happened a time or two but it is rare. And as it is, he would be better served coming here if his NFL window closes. Marty is extremely prolific as an OL coach. Over the next couple years he'd have a much better path to playing here, coaching, and mentorship.

For another year or two. He may play in the CFL but I doubt we'll see him in a Bomber uniform.

We drafted him. We own his CFL rights in perpetuity.

Yeah but if i guess says he's not going to sign here, we have limited options.  It's rare but has happened.  Corey Mace did that to us back in the day and never played a snap for us.

It's obvious  Manu plus Zach for Rourke. Note this is a joke.

True. His loss in that case. We can trade him or tell him to retire then like we did with Mulumba

For 4 years we had daily & monthly updates on Mulamba & Bikudi(?) ... "They're COMING!!!!" They'd all scream on Our Bombers (please shut up, not again!!!) when Mulamba & the other dude both got kicked off yet another NFL PR. Yeah, well they both stayed in the NFL practicing for years & never played in either league.
