The transfer didn't help him. He would have received an invite to a camp if he'd stayed.

On an interesting note:
Tyrone Holmes - the guy that the Eagles single manned during the humiliation playoff game where he dominated for 60 consecutive minutes - did get drafted...

I hope he does make a team just so we can have another enthralling discussion about uppity black QBs.

Looks like the Canadians will be able to have their own version.

Mr Adams is seeking one of two remaining camp invites, and received a nice shout-out (and pic!) from The Washington Post today . . .

QB Vernon Adams Jr. among 33 tryouts at Redskins rookie minicamp
The Redskins have 33 tryout players on hand during this weekend’s rookie minicamp, which began Friday. It’s led by former Oregon quarterback Vernon Adams Jr., who tried out for the Seattle Seahawks last week but remains unsigned. Washington currently has 88 players on its roster, leaving two spots available to sign a tryout player that impresses during rookie minicamp.

2 of 33. Never played (or tried out for) professional sports? Now ya know how tough the numbers are. CFL has same numbers at tryouts. I'm no longer bitter about VA's transfer and I hope he lands somewhere. I thought he'd be a good fit behind Russel Wilson. Guess not.

Odd signing. BC Lions have a starting grey cup winner, and MVP QB (Lulay) and just signed his Back-up to a 5 year deal..

Vernon Adams has finally found a home in professional football. Over the weekend, Adams signed a 3-year deal with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League.

That should be very fun to watch. I don't watch much CFL anymore but I do like his game so if I can tune him in once in a while I sure will. Glad he signed on there and it might still give him a shot later on.

His game is probably better suited to the CFL anyways...I believe he'll thrive up there...
