I think it was Grant who wasn't returning phone calls on that one. I can understand the Bailey scenario, but not the Jeffcoat one, why we didn't offer him a contract and went ahead with the slugs we had at DE is beyond me.

Wpg sun... Jeffcoat interview

It took him a while to get there, though, including one very dark day when he first realized that after 10 years as a pro and six seasons with the Bombers, it was over.

"Yesterday I was really in shock," is how he put it. "I didn't know what to do. I didn't know how to move. I just wanted to sleep. I couldn't. I just tried to process it all."

"It all began with silence from the Bombers.

No doubt they had bigger potential free-agent fish to fry this off-season, but Jeffcoat would have at least liked to hear something.

"I don't think it was handled right," he said. "I understand it's business, nothing personal. But in business there's communication. And there wasn't any communication, really."
