It appears the Saskatchewan Roughriders will be adding another quarterback to the mix.

TSN is reporting that the agent of former Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young is on his way to Regina to finalize a deal.

Young recently hired noted sports agent Leigh Steinberg to help me make a return to football, sparking weeks of rumours that Young could be joining the green and white.

In fact, Steinberg himself tweeted that he was in negotiations with the Riders last month. The Riders would not confirm they were talking to the former NFLer, however.

CFL Insider Gary Lawless said he’s hearing the Riders could have a press conference with Vince Young as early as Thursday.
