The Toronto Argonauts of the CFL have granted kicker Mike Vanderjagt's request for a release. "I enjoy my life out of the spotlight," Vanderjagt said. "I thoroughly appreciate all the Argonauts have done for me over the course of my career both before my time in the NFL and after. I have nothing but the utmost respect for the organization." He added that the release doesn't necessarily mean that he is retired. "Having been born and raised in southern Ontario, I appreciate the feeling the fans there gave me of always being home," Vanderjagt added. "Instead of retiring, I have asked for my release to leave my options open in case my feelings change."
