BigDingus Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Well, he's only 27. Give it 8 more years... He can make his triumphant return to the NFL & pull a Doug Flutie, taking the league by storm for a cool 2-3 years, redeeming himself in the process as he leads the Jaguars to the Super Bowl. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Duffy Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) I remember some thought he would be good and a few here and there wanted him on the Bills lol. He had the chance to possibly be something but he managed to ruin it for himself. I was rooting for him and hoped he could do the Kelly name proud.

Patrick Duffy Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Honestly didn't know he was even playing any at all anymore. Lost track and any interest I may have had of him few years ago.

When the CFL was formed, they were allowed to keep their long-standing names; Ottawa was frequently known as the "Eastern Riders" while Saskatchewan was referred to as either the "Western Riders" or "Green Riders".

After soliciting suggestions for a new team name in November, the green-and-gold-clad team eventually winnowed the options down to seven, all beginning with the letter “E.” In February, those choices were reported to be Eagles, Eclipse, Elements, Elk, Elkhounds, Evergreens and Evergold.

JESSEFEFFER Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 He is not in the CFL. Only the exclusive negotiation rights were traded. I knew when the Colts drafted Eason and there were to be no preseason games that his time with them was up. I think he is hoping for a chance in the spring leagues. XFL, USFL whichever.
