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.

    • At this point, I think Chubba is the odd man out. I hate that, but I think Dowdle gives us more production and big play ability.  But there is still a lot of football to play.  I think it depends on how much Dowdle will want too.
    • I’ve been anti-trade when it comes to Melo, but the way this season has started, it may be time.  I love his game and he’s a cool dude, but I’m starting to think, if he’s your best player, you’re never going to win anything of significance.  Too many brain farts, too many injuries, and ultimately for as fun and entertaining as he is to watch - his game is indeed a thing of beauty - it just doesn’t translate to wins.  And that’s IF he even plays.  I think it’s time to cash out and maximize the return.  I love Melo, but I think it’s pretty clear what the ceiling is for a team where he is the best player.
    • Every NFL team, college program, hell even HS has numerous "what ifs" that got derailed by injury. It's a brutal sport and half the battle is just getting lucky enough to stay healthy. Doesn't matter how durable you are and how well you take care of your body everyone is one weird hit or awkward twist away from a career derailing injury.
