My guess is that he is weighing playing time in Calgary while making less than he could get bonus money from NFL but possibly being out of the game/3rd string after training camp.
I think he comes back to Calgary. He just strikes me as a guy that has no interest in watching games vs playing and making a bit less. Though, as always, its a family decision and im sure his wife has a lot to say about things as well.
We will know one way or the other by this time next week im guessing.

Signing bonus for 3rd QB on the training camp depth chart can’t be that much can it?
If teams aren’t competing for Bo, I don’t believe there’s much money there. As an example, Texans signed journeymen Brandon Weeden and Joe Webb to be their #2 and 3 last year. Weeden signed to $90k signing bonus and $790k base with $140k guaranteed. Webb signed to $915k base with no bonus or guarantees.
I’m sure he can get a $750k deal with no guarantees. Maybe it’s worth giving it a shot for a year. If he makes the team he’s ahead financially. And he’s in the NFL.
If he’s hoping for signing bonuses and guaranteed money I bet he ends up back here.
