Excellent news and hope Lee excels.
It's sort of a sour deal LSU QBs from the Wizard era didn't get much tutelage for their trade.

Great write: yahoo canada! thanks...
All of these guys have some potential. Lee could represent a solid prospect for the future; he's just 24, and he had a reasonably impressive college career at LSU, throwing for 3949 yards with 32 touchdowns and 21 interceptions across his four years, which included plenty of games against tough SEC competition. What's notable is that his career with the Tigers was intermingled with two other quarterbacks who at least briefly appeared in the CFL: Lee was expected to be a backup to Ryan Perrilloux early on, but took over the reins at the start of the 2008 season following Perrilloux's dismissal for breaking team rules. Perrilloux wound up in the CFL last year with Calgary after a reality-show connection with Doug Flutie, but there won't be a showdown between the old teammates, as Perilloux is now back in the Arena Football League.
Meanwhile, Lee wound up alternating with Jordan Jefferson for most of his college career, and Jefferson had a brief stint with the Montreal Alouettes in 2012 before heading to the AFL. LSU's offensive coordinator from 2007-2010, four of Lee's five seasons (he red-shirted in 2007 when the Tigers won the BCS national championship), Gary Crowton, also wound up as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' offensive coordinator for 2012 and part of 2013, adding to the numerous LSU-CFL connections from that period. Lee doesn't necessarily enter the CFL with as much hype as any of those other former Tigers, but he has a shot to maybe last longer than any of them.
Some notable numbers on Lee come from his senior year in 2011, where he started early on before largely giving way to Jefferson on a LSU team that made the national championship game (losing to Alabama); he completed 62.3 per cent of his passes that season, throwing for 1,306 yards with 14 touchdowns and just three interceptions. Efficiency like that can be crucial in the CFL, so we'll see if Lee can replicate that on the bigger Canadian field in the 12-a-side game. He doesn't appear to have played much since his college days, only briefly appearing in the NFL with San Diego in 2012, but at 24, he could have a lot of football ahead of him.

Average salary in the CFL is $50,000. Starters make $120,000. Starter QB makes $200,000-$300,000. CFL has salary cap of $4.05 million. He can pay his bills.

I haven't seen an announcement at the BC Lions CFL website yet, but am assuming they will have something sometime soon.
Here is a link though: LINK /
If anyone has read my posts concerning about you- know- who sitting the QB who led LSU to the #1 ranking, you will know I truly hope that Lee excels in the CFL, and I am happy he will be afforded that opportunity.

Lee and Jefferson were both terrible quarterbacks.
You are only half right which makes you completely wrong.
Jarret Lee is not at all as "bad" as you think he was, and Jordan Jefferson was not nearly as good as HE thought he was.

Lee is a better bet character-wise too. The CFL won't tolerate breaking team rules etc. for long - and anything remotely like "thug behavior" at all.
My son lives in Vancouver and I told him yesterday about the news. Whilst he's more or less a casual CFL fan (a rabid soccer fan instead), he was really happy.
He's watched Lee play at Tiger Stadium when visiting here during the season, and remembers Lee as being an OK player with a quick release, which will work well in the CFL. Negative he saw was some indecision, but that comes with game exposure.
I hope to be in Vancouver during the CFL season this year - I'll definitely go watch.
