Posted September 6, 201311 yr comment_19860 Aaron Rouse @A757R15m I'd like to Thank the WinnipegBlueBombers Organization/Fans/Town for the Great Hospitality. Good Luck on the season!
September 6, 201311 yr comment_19865 Yeah, WTF. Bring this guy in, play him, and go from there. How does this guy come all the way up here and not even end up on the field.
September 6, 201311 yr Author comment_19868 Really doesn't seem like the team initiated the release. Just doesn't make sense. Seems kinda like the OL that left us after a day late last season, Dan Barbados or whatever.
September 6, 201311 yr comment_19870 Too many issues on the team, not a good environment for him. Chose to leave.
September 6, 201311 yr comment_19871 Too many issues on the team, not a good environment for him. Chose to leave. Good riddance if this is true. Bad attitude. Don't need any more 'me first' kinda guys on this team.
September 6, 201311 yr comment_19872 Too many issues on the team, not a good environment for him. Chose to leave. Good riddance if this is true. Bad attitude. Don't need any more 'me first' kinda guys on this team. I think it is unfair to label him as "Bad attitude" and a 'me first' kinda guy. If the situation is anything other than what you may have been led to believe, then it is better to get out before you get in too deep. At least this didn't happen after a couple weeks when we had really high hopes.
September 6, 201311 yr Author comment_19873 Too many issues on the team, not a good environment for him. Chose to leave. Where'd you hear this? Official line is that he had another NFL opportunity
September 6, 201311 yr comment_19875 Also says that he will come back in NFL opportunity doesn't pan out, so I highly doubt the environment or his attitude is any issue considering it's been said he'd be back.
September 6, 201311 yr comment_19876 I blame the Muamba brothers and their propensity to re-cycle. Either that or...he didn't meet the height requirements. (Too tall)
September 6, 201311 yr comment_19877 Too many issues on the team, not a good environment for him. Chose to leave. Where'd you hear this? Official line is that he had another NFL opportunity Same person that told me he signed. I hope it's not true, but I don't see how suddenly a day into the NFL season there's interest in a 29 year old pensioned, high min salary guy who's been out of the league for two years.
September 6, 201311 yr comment_19878 I don't know why he left, but doesn't it seem a little far fetched that he'd leave because there are "too many issues" on the team? What would he and his agent have expected signing with a 1-8 team? Until I see something concrete that proves the official line is not true, I'll chalk it up to potential NFL interest.
September 6, 201311 yr comment_19879 Too many issues on the team, not a good environment for him. Chose to leave. to do what? Go work as a greeter at Walmart? Seriously, this sounds just plain silly.
September 6, 201311 yr comment_19880 Either way, it doesn't really matter. He's gone, and that sucks. Really thought he'd have some success up here....Like Bolden during his first tour.

September 6, 201311 yr comment_19887 Tim Burke just said there was an agreement when he signed that if there was NFL interest he would leave but return if it didn't pan out.
September 6, 201311 yr comment_19890 The moral to this story is don't bring a guy in unless he has agreed to a contract in advance. Somebody may have dropped the ball on this one.
September 6, 201311 yr comment_19894 It was a mutual agreement to let him ago if opportunities arose and for him to come back.
