It sucks to lose talented players for those who make a career of it in the NFL, but we can't fault them for trying.
There are players who return and don't live up to their early promise (such as Casey "get your popcorn ready, folks... your chips and cakes" Printers, albeit coming back to a shit team... there are others as well)
Many success stories too though. Some of the more well known names, just from perusing the CFL record list: Daved Benefield, Arland Bruce, Henry Burris, Tom Clements, Dave Dickenson, Solomon Elimimian, Andy Fantuz, Justin Medlock, Mike O'Shea, Byron Parker, Mike Pringle, Ricky Ray, Jamel Richardson, Marcus Thigpen, Chris Williams, Henry (Gizmo) Williams, Earl Winfield.
