X-Ray should be knocking on his door sometime soon... Very well might be the best option.

Where is the press release or source by the way?

Xray would be a nice home coming, however, i'd like to see him at one of the up and comers like VBC personally.

Money always plays a big role no matter what. He has to live of something so who has the budget to afford him!? Not many players around...

He would make a fair chunk of his living from his nitro exploits also don't forget.

He would be an asset to any team and no doubt in demand. It seems that even when he isn't the fastest, his setup normally is.

The statement reads it was his choice not to renew with TRF (but the conditions presented may simply have been unpalatable)
