    BC's got some big guys, including a 6'2" up and comer named Terrence Jeffers-Harris, who might be a keeper.

  • I believe the riders turned an even deeper shade of green (envy) when Andrew decided to come home...Sask. wanted him bad, and if you read any of their comments about the time Harris was available, the

  • I think you are going to stay blue in the ballz department. I have my doubts he shows up here this year. Maybe next year if he can't get a nibble.

That's unfortunate about Jernigan but... if he doesn't want to be here, then so be it. And we move on, They have a few other options also, the most obvious one being Veltung who quite honestly looked pretty damn good returning kicks and punts last year... he actually looked better than Stoudemire. 

Given that training camp hasn't started yet, the most reasonable explanation to me would be that Jernigan knows his family situation is such that he won't be back before camp.  The Bombers want to bring in another player in the meantime but can't because Jernigan is still under contract (and they want to keep him that way), so they're at their limit even if it doesn't work for him to show up right away.

Can't suspend him for not reporting because their is nothing to report to at the moment.  Injury lists don't exist for about another month.  So they put him on the retired list just to have him somewhere, and in the meantime they'll probably bring another 75th player in for camp.  The other options would be releasing him or only having 74 counters in camp.  This might be the only shell game they can play with Jernigan to avoid those.

Yer damn good, I can almost believe that scenario.

Stoudermire has all the tools a returner needs in either league, he just has to get his brain working at a higher level to match the physical gifts.

Yep, thats true. But you dont see guys in camp in the NFL for the returner spot who doesnt have that skill set. TBH i think they prefer returners who have the head for it and make the most of easy yards rather then high risk/reward returners but thats just me.
