Riders release 18 ahead of regular-season
The 2021 edition of the Saskatchewan Roughriders has now been revealed.
The green and white announced its final cuts Friday after CFL training camp ended the day before. It included the release of 18 players, 15 moved to the practice roster and two returning to school.
Former first-round NFL pick Paxton Lynch has made the team. Lynch signed with the Roughriders on June 28, 2021.
Lynch was taken by the Denver Broncos 26th overall in the 2016 NFL draft but only appeared in four games for the team over two seasons.
