Dwayne Jarrett has retired

Dwayne Jarrett arrived at the Saskatchewan Roughriders' training camp amid considerable fanfare, only to become a footnote.

Jarrett battled a foot injury for most of his abbreviated time in Regina - an experiment that officially, mercifully ended Thursday when Roughriders head coach Corey Chamblin announced that the former USC Trojans and Carolina Panthers receiver had retired at age 25.

The news was hardly shocking, considering the tenor of previous reportage pertaining to Jarrett. He was to have arrived in Regina in time for rookie camp, which kicked off May 31, only to be delayed by flight and immigration issues.

After making four connections on Saturday, Jarrett finally landed in the Queen City in time for the CFL team's main training camp to begin at the University of Regina. He took part in Sunday's lone session, looking impressive enough, but ended up sustaining the aforementioned foot injury.

From then on, Jarrett was most conspicuous on an exercise bike. In the final analysis, there was a greater likelihood of seeing a moose in Regina than of spotting Jarrett on the practice field.

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
