Part-time NFL cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones reportedly signed a one year contract with the Canadian Football League’s little-known Winnipeg Blue Bombers, marking what associates of Pacman believe will be a “triumphant return” for the former first-round draft pick and star at the University of West Virginia.

In a conference call this morning, Winnipeg’s director of player personnel John Murphy complemented the 25-year old for his “commitment,” “hard to come by leadership skills,” “do good attitude,” and “knack for attracting attention.”

Pacman is rumored has no intention of using the CFL as a stepping stone to NFL, and reportedly Canada’s healthcare system played a major role in the decision. “I’ve been religiously following all the news surrounding healthcare reform here in America,” said Pacman, “but I’ve become disillusioned by the rather raucous turn the discourse has taken. Canadian healthcare is everything American health is not.” He would later add that he expected “to have a blast” in the CFL.
