Yeah, I don’t have a horse in this race, but it is hard not to be impressed by LH.
Agree, but he's 30. Why hasn't he found a place in the league before now?
Story is, it's actually a big challenge to arrange a workout with the NFL if you're under contract in the CFL (or that's part of it anyway). So in the end he just asked to be released.

The CFL announced in August of 2018 that all players entering the option years of their contracts would be allowed an NFL window to work out or sign with NFL teams. When the CFL struck a new collective bargaining agreement with its players last spring, that right was extended to all CFL players, regardless of what stage of their contracts they were in.
But the NFL never agreed to the conditions the CFL wants attached to letting players free from their contracts, including that players must make an active NFL roster, not a practice roster. The CFL is also insisting that players who fail to make an NFL roster have their playing rights revert to their CFL clubs after clearing NFL waivers.
The conditions the CFL wants to apply are the same ones that existed when the NFL window was part of the CBA (the window was removed as part of the agreement signed in 2010). What has changed is the NFL’s stance on being willing to accept those conditions.
With no agreement in place on the outstanding issues, the NFL recently informed its teams that they are not allowed to work out or sign CFL players whose contracts have not expired.
