It looks as if the honeymoon phase is over for Dexter McCoil and the Edmonton Eskimos.

According to a West Coast source, the reigning CFL most outstanding rookie is looking to become a free agent at the conclusion of the 2015 season.

The Edmonton Sunhas learned player agent Dan Vertlieb is in the process of suing the Eskimos in order to have the final year of McCoil’s contract voided. Vertlieb has not returned calls from the Sun.

A Vancouver-based attorney, Vertlieb is the same player representative who sued the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on behalf of Chris Williams in 2013.

That bitter dispute saw Williams, the league’s top special-teams player at the time, sit out the entire season for a chance to sign with an NFL club.

In the end, he was granted the ability to do so, but would still belong to the Ticats upon his eventual return to the CFL.

The Eskimos weren’t available to the media on Friday and general manager Ed Hervey didn’t immediately respond to a request for an interview.

The team’s next practice is Monday at Commonwealth Stadium.

IN AND OUT:The Eskimos announced left guard Greg Wojt suffered a concussion in Thursday’s game. Medical staff continue to monitor the progress of the six-foot-four, 300-pound veteran in his seventh CFL season. Making his debut in his return to the same Eskimos club that drafted him in the second round (11th overall) in 2008, Wojt wasn’t able to finish his first game back since coming off the one-game injured list in the opening week. He had also sustained a stinger that forced him to miss part of training camp.

The two-time divisional all-star joins the Eskimos following two seasons with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats following surgery to correct a labrum injury that forced him to miss all but two games last year.
