The Rourke situation reminds me a little of Ricky Ray's. Ray went to the NFL in 2004 and spent that year on the New York Jets' PR. He then considered that he wouldn't see playing time or a rise in the ranks anytime soon and so he asked for his release to return to the CFL. I can see the same thing happening with Rourke - and I have to believe that it's killing him not being able to play in BC this season - although I can see Rourke giving it another year before he comes back north, assuming that he doesn't have a big breakthrough.
