VIDEO: Little time for Brendan Taman to enjoy Grey Cup win
There's been no time for Riders General Manager Brendan Taman to rest since winning the Grey Cup.
The demands placed on a football executive have never been more apparent for Taman than they have this year. Just a couple of weeks ago he won his first Grey Cup, but there's been little to no time off for the man who built the Riders' championship roster.
That's because this off-season is one like no other in the last 10 years. Not only do teams have to deal with the usual things like free agency and the Canadian draft, but there's also an expansion draft coming up for the Ottawa RedBlacks. Taman has been kept busy trying to figure out which six Canadians and 10 imports his team will protect.
“We'll sit down and go over the last details of it and figure out what the list is going to be,” said Taman.
