However I can not remember the last time a player just a couple of years into the league (high first rounder) all of sudden retires at the very last minute before training camp.
When I first heard it, I was wondering if it was possible to retire from CFL and sign with NFL.

What's the difference how old he is? Teyo Johnson did the same thing last year. Just because Newman is a first rounder and a better player means that he's not allowed to do it?
Nobody on this site would have any problem leaving wherever they work at a tough time if a much better opportunity came along or if they wanted to go another direction or their life. Why should Newman be any different?
