Veteran quarterback Ray considering retirement following fourth Grey Cup win
TORONTO — Ricky Ray is considering going out on top.
The 38-year-old quarterback admitted Wednesday he’s contemplating retirement following 15 CFL seasons. The revelation came just three days after Ray earned a record fourth Grey Cup title as a starter in the Toronto Argonauts’ 27-24 upset over the Calgary Stampeders at TD Place.
“I’m seriously thinking about it,” Ray said during the team’s locker cleanout. “There’s still a lot to accomplish but what’s going to make it tougher too is the kind of year we had, the finish we had and feeling like you’re at the top of the mountain.
“Being able to have this as my last memory of playing, it’s going to make it more difficult on deciding whether to come back or not.”
