Berkly Catton, Brayden Yager, Caden Price and Tanner Howe were all named.
Rider Nation is not handling the first 24 hours of free agency very well.
I’ve seen fans swear off watching the team. I’ve seen others say they’re going to sell off their season tickets. Yes, those fans are extreme examples. But they’re out there.
News Willie Jefferson is now a Blue Bomber and the Riders missed out on signing a big name quarterback, settling for Zach Collaros, is leaving Riders fans wanting more from the new General Manager Jeremy O’Day.
But it’s only Feb. 13.
There are more players to sign and potential trades to be made, and the Riders defence still looks to be formidable after signing Micah Johnson, who is a suitable replacement in terms of a playmaker along the Riders defensive line.
Yes, day 1 could have gone a lot better for the Roughriders, but I’m willing to be patient with the new regime.
Chris Jones’ departure put them behind the eight ball, but there is still time for them to be a team that was just as formidable as the one last year. And why can’t they? They did win 12 games with Collaros in 2018.
