[QUOTE="bavpb, post: 43157, member: 372"] some more news from the Winnipeg Sun 1/21/06: Ryan two for two Blue Bombers punter receives second NFL offer By TED WYMAN, STAFF REPORTER Two teams, two offers. Not a bad success rate for punter Jon Ryan. "Right now I'd say it's going better than planned," Ryan said. "To work out for two teams and get two offers is pretty good." Ryan, who made a huge impression in the Canadian Football League in two seasons with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, worked out for the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals yesterday. And, as was the case with the Green Bay Packers earlier this week, the Bengals were immediately prepared to make the Regina native an offer. BENGALS EXPRESS INTEREST "They are interested and they are going to put an offer on the table on Monday," Ryan said via cellphone from Cincinnati. "They are a little concerned about the ankle that I hurt back in October, so they took an X-ray and an MRI. They just want to make sure it's nothing major. It's not bothering me at all." Ryan, who received an offer that included a $10,000 signing bonus from the Packers, has no more workouts scheduled, although he says some other teams, including the Washington Redskins and New York Giants, have expressed interest. The 6-foot, 220-pound Ryan can't say if he's leaning toward signing with a particular team until he sees the official offer from the Bengals. However, he was impressed with the situation in Green Bay, where management told him the position is going to be wide open next year. Ryan, 25, set a single-season CFL record for punting average (50.6 yards) last season with the Bombers. If Ryan doesn't sign in the NFL, he will become a CFL free agent in mid-February. He remains Bomber property until that time. The Bombers have a lucrative offer on the table for Ryan. Even though he is likely to sign somewhere south of the border, Ryan said it won't guarantee him so much as a training camp invitation. "Not necessarily," he said. "It should get me to a (spring) mini-camp, though." [/QUOTE]
