Ricky Ray re-signs with the Eskimos. Jason Maas and Khari Jones are either dealt to other teams or are released. In the end one of them ends up with the Argonauts and the other ends up with the Tiger-Cats.
The Canadian Press is reporting that Ray will likely want a contract around $400,000/year. If I remember correctly Ray was getting around $75,000/year during his previous stint with the Eskimos. I can't see them keeping Ray, Maas, and Jones for very long. Although they would be the most talent trio of QB's for the Eskimos since 1987 when they had Matt Dunigan, Damon Allen and Tracy Ham or since 1978 when they had Tom Wilkinson, Warren Moon and Bruce Lemmerman.

Ray was making the league minimum at ~$32,000/year.
You'd be better off trying to figure out which NFL team will try him out first. Regardless, I can't see him coming back to the CFL this season. Maybe for 2006. Its his dream to be in the NFL. He pretty much requested his release from the Jets if you read the quotes from his agent. He likely has interest elsewhere in the National league.

Tuesday at 3 pm (eastern or central?) is the deadline for Ray to clear waivers. Will another team pick him up? Likely. But if he does come back to the CFL, I think he'll go to the Eskimos.

I've said it before but it bears repeating: Jason and the Argonauts!

My guess is he'll clear waivers and then sign as a free agent. I believe that any team that claims him would also claim his contract, which is probably longer than most teams would like, and he'd also have to fit into the way the salary cap works in the NFL (ie. signing bonus, which year his salary is applied to under the cap, etc....it gets complicated).
