    I was just speculating when I suggested that we planned to release him. It's quite possible that he's just tired of football, or has a job lined up, or had some other reason to leave on his own terms.

    With a weak Canadian dollar, the choice of retiring from the CFL is made easier for these guys.

    That's a good point, CFL players are making 15-20% less this year than last simply due to the exchange rate.

    With the exchange rate what it is, it really takes away the salary cap increase from last hear for the US citizens who play interest league.

    I don't see an advantage to him retiring if he really did not want to retire. If he wants to continue playing, he would be better off being released if the Argos do not want him. I don't think that there is anything deeper here other than that Robinson has decided to do other things with his life.
