The Saskatchewan Roughriders have traded for quarterback Vernon Adams.

The Riders also get a 2018 fifth round draft pick from the Als in exchange for Canadian defensive back Tevaughn Campbell and two third round selections.

The five-foot-11, 200-pound Adams served as the backup to Montreal starter Darian Durant this season, rushing for nine yards on eight carries while scoring a TD. The Alouettes acquired Adams from the B.C. Lions in May 2016.
