Football Betting Lines

05/28/2009 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Argonauts have granted kicker Mike Vanderjagt his release, the team announced Thursday.

Vanderjagt asked for his release, but said he will not retire in order to leave his options open.

"After many conversations with my family, we have come to the decision that after 13 years of professional football, I'm better suited to be with my family in Florida," Vanderjagt said. "At 39 years old, my priorities have changed. I enjoy my life out of the spotlight. 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."

Vanderjagt, an Oakville, Ontario native, had stints in the CFL and NFL, helping the Argos to consecutive Grey Cup titles in 1996 and '97. He was the 1996 Grey Cup Most Outstanding Canadian and was a CFL All-Star in 1997 when he scored 190 points.

Vanderjagt then left for the NFL and spent eight seasons with the Indianapolis Colts before playing part of one year with the Dallas Cowboys.

During his time in the NFL, Vanderjagt established a record by connecting on 86.4 percent of his field goal tries. He was perfect during the 2003 season, drilling each of his 37 field goal attempts and all 46 point-after tries.

Vanderjagt returned to the Argos in 2008, and in 18 games connected on 39- of-51 field goals and accounted for 161 points.
