" SURREY, B.C. -- Travis Lulay has put his NFL aspirations on hold for at least one more year. The B.C. Lions rewarded Lulay, their No. 1 quarterback, on Tuesday for his outstanding 2011 CFL season by signing him to a new two-year contract. Lulay confirmed the deal includes one year plus an option. "Even when I first came to this league, I never wanted to come here and think that Id go somewhere else," said Lulay. "So I consider myself all-in here. Thats really what this is about." Lulay, a 28-year-old Salem, Ore., native was due to play out his option in 2012 and then could have become a free agent. "Its securing next season and the near future," he said. "But if the NFL was really what I wanted to do, I would have just played out (the 2012) season and tried to see what would happen." Lulay guided the Lions last year to an 11-7 record, a first-place finish in the West Division and a remarkable Grey Cup last November. The miraculous championship came after the Lions started the season 1-6. He was named the CFLs outstanding player as well as the 2011 Grey Cup MVP. With Lulays signing, the Lions now have all of their offensive starters under contract for 2012. Noting that most of the returners were also with the club last season when it lost its first five games, Lulay said he likes the Lions chances of repeating as Grey Cup champions. "To have all of your starters return after a championship season, that doesnt happen very often," said Lulay. "Its exciting." Before signing with the Lions as a free agent in 2009, the Montana State grad had three unsuccessful tryouts with the Seattle Seahawks, another one with the New Orleans Saints and also played in the now-defunct NFL Europe with the Berlin Thunder. In Lions general manager Wally Buonos view, Lulay took the teams interests into account by signing a new deal rather than by playing out his option. "For a high-profile player, I really dont like the option year," said Buono. Because of the scrutiny that a quarterback and other stars face, Buono prefers to re-sign his top players before their deals expire. A high-profile player who decides to play out his option creates an "an aura of confrontation, an aura of uncertainty" -- in other words, a negative situation all-around. The Lions learned the hard way when former quarterback Casey Printers played out his option in his first go-round with the Lions before seeking NFL employment with the Kansas City Chiefs. But Buono said the situation applies to every signal-caller. "Playing out your option -- for any quarterback, whether its Casey Printers, or (former Lions QB) Dave Dickenson or Travis Lulay -- is a very unsteadying process," said Buono. He was wary of getting into detail on Lulay because the team did not disclose details of the contract. However, Buono all but confirmed the Lions sought to sign Lulay to a longer term. "We looked at a number of options," said Buono. But he said his primary concern was to get Lulay signed to a new deal for 2012. Both the GM and Lulay told reporters that the length of the deal does not matter because, unlike with other major sports, CFL contracts are not guaranteed. "This is not the NHL or Major League Baseball," said Buono. But he acknowledged the team will have to "open the wallet" if Lulay has another great season. In 2011, he finished as the CFLs second-leading passer with 4,815 yards on 342 completions and tied for the CFL lead with 32 TD passes. Lulay was also effective on the ground. He ranked second among quarterbacks in rushing yards, scampering for 391 yards on 47 attempts including 14 gains of 10 or more yards. Following veteran Jarious Jacksons release and subsequent signing as a free agent with the Toronto Argonauts, Lulay is now B.C.s most experienced quarterback. "It will be a different atmosphere, a different feel among the quarterbacks, because all of a sudden, Im the oldest guy in the room," said Lulay. "So that will be a change. But thats just part of the game." But Lulay is confident that Mike Reilly, who has moved into the No. 2 spot from No. 3 is an effective backup. The two have provided good feedback to each other and have become close friends. Lulay also expects to take on more of a leadership role with the team following the departure of Jackson, who was a captain despite his backup status. "Thats kind of a natural spot for me," said Lulay. "Honestly, I feel comfortable being in that leadership position and, by nature, the quarterback is one of the leaders." By locking up Lulay, the Lions now have three pivots under contract. The third is Corey Leonard, who is entering his second season with the club. Ideally, said Buono, the club would like to have five quarterbacks at training camp, which begins at the end of May in Kamloops, B.C., and keep four. The Lions held two free-agnt camps in Las Vegas and Los Angeles in March, and Buono hopes to sign one or two quarterbacks who attended. But he does not plan to draft a Canadian university passer, because that would require making him a high selection. And, barring injury, Lulay is unlikely to be unseated as the starter in the near future. Notes: Buono said the club still has salary cap space to sign a free agent, but is not interested in any available CFL veterans. ... The GM would like to invite Leonard to the teams rookie camp, to be held before the main training camp, in order to give him more practice time. But Leonard, a 24-year-old University of Houston product, is not bound to attend. ...

Ferrer upset the second-ranked Rafael Nadal 6-3, 6-2 in the other semifinal. Nadal, who won the tournament the past two years, was nursing a sore shoulder and never seriously challenged his fellow Spaniard. Nadal said his shoulder "felt OK, not perfect" but that he would still play at the season-opening ATP tournament in Doha next week. "I knew before coming here that I was not ready to win a match against David Ferrer, not to win a match against Djokovic or Federer," Nadal said. "But I am ready to spend hours on court without risk of injury. That is the most important thing. I need this transition, hours of practice. If I am here, I will probably have a better feeling for Doha." The No. 1-ranked Djokovic appeared to have shaken off the rust he complained about coming into the event and showed plenty of the dominant play that helped him amass a 70-6 record last season including three Grand Slam titles. The 24-year-old Serb twice broke No. 3-ranked Federer in the first set and ran off nine games in a row in a one-sided affair that lasted only 44 minutes. "It is the perfect start to season. I played great," Djokovic said. "Its something that makes me very happy." However, Djokovic said fans shouldnt read too much into his win over Federer, against whom he had a 4-1 record in 2011, including victories at the Australian Open and U.S. Open. Djokovic attributed his win in Abu Dhabi to having a match under his belt -- a win over Gael Monfils on Thursday -- and a quick start that gave him momentum and prompted Federer to make several unforced errors. "He has won over 15 matches at the end of 2011 so Im suree he wont feel down after this loss here," Djokovic said.dddddddddddd "His main goal here is to get a couple of matches under his belt as it is for all of us." Federer apologized to the crowd for disappointing them with his quick exit and promised to play better Saturday when he faces Nadal for third place. He said he felt "good overall" and "was moving well" but that he just was unable to chase down Djokovics groundstrokes that repeatedly caught the corners. "Its surprising when it goes quick and you are on the losing side. Its not so comfortable sometimes," Federer said. "You try hard and try different things and its not working. He was playing really well. Unfortunately, it was a short-lived match but we know he is a very good front runner. He took the lead in both sets quite early and that made it difficult because conditions were pretty quick and my game was not good enough today to make it more competitive." Ferrer jumped out to a 4-0 lead against Nadal in their first set, helped by his powerful forehand and some poor serving by his opponent. Nadal got back to 5-3 but Ferrer clinched the first set when Nadal returned a serve into the net. Ferrer started fast again in the second set, taking a 4-0 lead and going on to win the match in 70 minutes when Nadal hit long. Nadal said he needed "a little bit more power for everything, a little bit more confidence on the shoulder" to hurt his opponent with his serve. He said his biggest challenge was a lack of practice coming into the tournament, having only decided four days ago to play in Abu Dhabi. The Spaniard is also playing with a slightly heavier racket which he said he was still adjusting to. The six-man tournament in Abu Dhabi is seen as a warm-up for the new ATP season. The winner receives US$250,000. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys \' \' \' |
