What the headlines should read is Jones signed another former Eskimo who didn’t make the cut and another Drug Addict.

Chris Jones claims to model his philosophies after Bill Belichek, that’s laughable, he’s more like Kavis Reed, except Kavis at least had a playing career.

Green is the Color, the CFL used to be known as a league that gave chances to smaller players or African American quarterbacks. The NFL discriminated against them. But in the 21st century, the CFL gives second and third, etc chances to drug users. I just dont think that’s quite as noble.
Why all the “due diligence” regarding Johnny Manziel’s partying ways, but other players, with suspensions for drug use south of the border, are brought in with no discussion at all?
And yes, Saskatchewan is the worst. I don’t think Chris Jones cares about character. Any scumbag who can play football is welcome with open arms on his team. He would’ve loved ex-CFL and NFL stars like Lawrence Phillips and Dexter Manley I bet.

With the adding of Evan and Athigha with Jefferson and Hughes there are a few openings to move players around which Jones is famous for moving players to different positions. Big Nick James might move to linebacker.

Signing two more recievers throws everyone of guard when you need other areas filled It lie what the hell is Jones up to signing players in areas that are not needed.

In reply to Edward Leslie. That's what you have? That's it the best you can say. The shallow haters on this site are pathetic. Get a life. No more user on the Riders than any other club.

Saskatchewan needs more receivers like Hamilton needs more coaches collectin O.A.P.!
I see that Shaq Evans got suspended in the NFL for drugs. Terrific! He shoukd be welcome in Regina, a cllub that leads the league in drug related players with: Bruce Campbell, Makana Henry, Willie Jefferson and Duron Carter.

These signings are because Carter will not be back.
