Voice of the Riders
It’s Brett Smith’s team now.
That much was made clear last Wednesday when the Saskatchewan Roughriders shipped 36-year old quarterback Kevin Glenn to the Montreal Alouettes on the CFL’s annual trade deadline. Before the day was over, the Riders dealt leading rusher Jerome Messam to the Calgary Stampeders as well.
What they ended up with in return were Canadian kicker Tyler Crapigna and a third round pick in the 2016 CFL Draft.
The moves were a clear sign that the Riders are scrapping 2015 and entering a rebuild which only they know how long will last. At 2-13, you’d think most fans would understand the direction of the team needs to change and in a poll at rodpedersen.com, 70% of respondents said they’d support that rebuild.
