The pending free agent isn't expected to be ready for game action until the fall as he's still recovering from surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee.
Despite the setback, the Overland Park, Kan., product has hired a CFL agent and intends on playing again once fully healed.

Hope Walters leaves the door open for his return, he deserves the opportunity to try again.
He'd be fine on some sort of contract with playing bonuses.
Wish him luck, biggest thing is to heal 110% and come back strong. I think he can provide value to someone. I believe we made the right choice here.
Not surprised. Wish him luck in his future endevours.

I'd still bring him back if and when he is totally healthy. There will be some risk involved but by mid season SMS will be for a partial season and injuries may be occurring on the roster.
Didn't he already have an agent?
Love the player, hate the injuries.
If he recovers, I can't see Walters not taking him back if 100%.
Problem is, what is 100%? It can be quite a different judgement, between what the player thinks, and what the team doctor thinks.
And what another team's doctor thinks.
A team needing REC help might take a flyer before we'd be comfortable signing him.
Love to see him back, but not on the IR.
Bombers were patient and gave him a chance to come back last year. What more can you do?
Time to give someone else an opportunity.
Let's say he's signed for game 10 and plays 2 games and gets injured again. Then it's covered on 6 game IR. So risk is minimal.
It's a timing issue depending on when he's healthy and whether we're having injury problems.
I hope he can come back to form as a very good receiver even if that is not quite what he used to be.
