    VANCOUVER — Veteran CFL kicker Paul McCallum will sign a one-day contract with the B.C. Lions today, allowing him to retire with the team he helped win two Grey Cup titles.

    He also claimed the league's most outstanding special teams award in 2011.
     
    McCallum leaves with the second-highest CFL career point total with 3,131 and the second-most field goals with 718.
