The Saskatchewan Roughriders have made their first moves after their Florida mini-camp.

The team announced Friday they've signed import receivers Rod Harper and Eron Riley.

Harper joins the Roughriders after spending time in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints. In his time in the NFL, Harper returned two kicks for touchdowns in the pre-season.

Riley comes to Saskatchewan after spending the past few seasons in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos and N.Y. Jets. Prior to joining the NFL, Riley spent four seasons at Duke University.

To make room for both of them the Riders also released non-import kicked Chris Bodnar, import defensive ends Jammie Kirlew and Julian Miller, import defensive back Terrell Skinner and non-import receiver Kolton Solomon.
