A rollercoaster of emotions for Rider fans this week.
It was a week that began with the Saskatchewan Roughriders adding a piece to the secondary and ended with a new face at defensive end.
Monday saw the Riders adding defensive back Derrius Brooks. The former Western Kentucky Hilltopper is a CFL veteran that spent 2014 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on their practice roster. Brooks was a part of a solid Calgary Stampeder secondary in 2012 and 2013. Click here to read story.
Veteran CFL receiver Maurice Price on Tuesday, became a member of the Riders as he and a sixth round selection (52nd overall) in the 2016 CFL Draft were acquired from the Ottawa Redblacks. In exchange, the Riders have sent their sixth round (45th overall) and seventh round (54th overall) selections to Ottawa. Click here to read story.
