I stated before that the Roughriders don’t have the guns in the receiving corps to go toe-to-toe with the Blue Bombers. Lawler absolutely torched them. The Roughriders hold the rights to Chase Claypool and should have made him a respectable offer when he became a free agent. He is still a free agent. Either they should make him an offer or trade his rights.
