Two major players on the Saskatchewan Roughriders offence have been traded away ahead of the CFL trade deadline Wednesday afternoon.

Two-time Riders quarterback Kevin Glenn was traded to the Montreal Alouettes for a draft pick. The veteran CFL quarterback had signed with the Green and White ahead of the 2015 season. He became the team’s starting quarterback following Darian Durant’s season-ending injury in the first game of the season.

Just before deadline, the Riders made a trade with the Calgary Stampeders that has national running back Jerome Messam headed to Alberta in exchange for national kicker Tyler Crapigna, a third round selection in the 2016 draft, and the rights to a negotiation list player. The Riders also included a fifth round pick in the draft as part of the deal.
