Arena. CFL. There are a couple of options. Arena is probably the #1 option.

I hope he doesn't become a holdout to this idea like Tebow has been. I like Tebow..not because of his politics or religion, it's because he's a leader. I think Brett is a leader also. They need to be involved in the sport they love.
CFL is waayy way more money than Arena. If he wants to live off playing football he needs to go CFL. Arena pay isn't that great.

Couldn't agree more.

I'd like to see him in a Winnipeg Blue Bombers uniform!

CFL teams are already starting camp. I saw a twit that Brett is in California, so I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play ball this season. Maybe he's holding out for a late call from an NFL team that looses a QB to an injury in preseason camp. I guess he trained in California, so he may just be working out and waiting.

Apparently there is news that Brett Smith is now working out with the New York football Giants. Another chance possibly..

I have been out of the loop for a while, I guess. I didn't know Tampa had already released him. Whoever told him he should declared for the draft should be hung. What an all-time, horrible stupid decision he made to declare for the draft. I have to believe if he had it to do all over again, he'd be wearing the Brown & Gold this fall. I feel for the guy, but man was declaring idiotic.

This honestly made me laugh. From declaring for the NFL draft to playing for the Casper Cavalry. I'm going to assume Brett would rather jump off a bridge.

Considering how bad the Cavalry have been the past 2 years, I wouldn't blame him.

Sounds like Giants aren't real pleased with the QBs behind Eli. Hope it works for Brett, but I'm concerned that if it didn't work in Tampa, well, you know. You never know. All it takes is one shot; one person willing to take a chance on him.
