Murray Wood: Riders' revenge, Putin optics, storm beauty
In this Friday "Who's Hot and Who's Not," Murray Wood looks at the Riders' shot at payback in Calgary, Trudeau...
After losing to the Argonauts in the week-two season-opener Thursday night, the Saskatchewan Roughriders have made a trade with Toronto.
On Saturday, the green and white announced Shawn Lemon has been traded to the Argos, along with a conditional pick in the 2018 CFL draft.
In return, the Riders get national offensive lineman Matt Sewell and international quarterback Mitchell Gale.
Sewell – a six-foot-seven, 340-pound McMaster product – is in his third CFL season, having played 35 regular-season games.
Gale comes to Saskatchewan after joining the Argos ahead of the 2013 season. He’s played in 33 regular-season games, completing nine of 29 pass attempts for 100 yards and two touchdowns.
