Go North young man.
Jim Trotter of SI.com writes that cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones is going the Canadian route to get back into the NFL.
Jones has agreed to a one-year deal to play for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the CFL.
"It'll be a good experience for me to get back in game shape and compete and play football, which I like to do," Jones told Trotter. "I'm real happy for the opportunity that's been given to me. Of course it's disappointing to me to not be playing in the NFL. But things happen and you have to adjust. "
Blue Bombers' executive John Murphy says he knows the team is taking a chance but like the upside of Jones' talent as a "playmaker" and the publicity he brings.
"From a marketing standpoint, a business standpoint and a football standpoint, I could go to 100 NFL training camps and every preseason game and more people will hear and know about the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the next two weeks -- from the coverage we'll receive -- than in the last 10 years."
