Well, if he does sit out an entire season... good luck with that. While it might be true that he could make more money even on an NFL practise roster, the reality is he has better potential for a successful and long career - playing, not sitting - here in Canada. If he doesn't or can't see that, then I wish him all the best, and thank him for what he contributed. I don't see how the team can bend and make an exception for him if he is not willing to commit long term.
