Is he Edmonton property? I thought under the new CFL/NFL agreement CFL players must now forfill their CFL contracts before trying to play down south. Unlike before when after the CFL season regardless what contract was agreed the NFL could take our best with no compensation. So if Ricky Ray ran down south to try out with the Jets his contract with the Eskies would have had to be forfilled. Avery had a one year contract went back to the NFL the next then returned with the Argos. If Ricky Ray is free to sign with anyone he's on his way to Toronto guaranteed.

Ray is still EDM property because he was in his option year when he went down to the Jets. If he was an all out free agent, he could go wherever, but he wasn't. Because of that, and since he was cut, he has to go back to EDM for the remainder of the season.
