A legend in his own mind.
I probably will go down as one of the best players ever!!! Don't comment, just remember how salty you got reading that 😂 I'm one of a kind😎

Yeah - a real character and a legend in his own mind; but reports out of Riderville say he has been a good team-guy and no real problems ? Well liked there.
Certainly has some real talent and skills - big, fast with a huge catch radius (one of the all-time greatest CFL receptions IMO last year); and chipped in playing well at DB. Still, IMO, pretty over-rated as a receiver - mainly cause he drops too many; if there was a former CFL receiver i could compare him too = maybe Arland Bruce - a guy who could make big plays and spectacular catches, but just dropped too many passes to be considered an all-around elite receiver. Not even close to Terry Greer, Milt, Brian Kelly, Allen Pitts or Merv Fernandez as a total package receiver talent.
Duron Carter's one year extension seems to be quite favourable to the Riders. While his contract went up from $130,000 to $175,000 potentially, it includes a $31,000 playing time bonus in addition to a $70,000 signing bonus and a $74,000 base salary.

Another National, in addition to DL Nathan Shephard who is also on Hamilton's list after failing to be drafted, has been placed on the Rider's negotiation list: RB Johnny Augustine, who was ranked #17 on the final CFL Scouting Bureau list, but went undrafted and failed to stick with the Eskimos at TC last year. Not entirely surprising that a National RB went undrafted even in the late rounds.

It's us vs the rest of the country

Not surprising considering Muamba's play since returning to the CFL and how the Riders have spent so far on Free Agency.
That was quick.
The Roughriders also announce they have released national middle linebacker Henoc Muamba.

Messam signed for $120,000 plus $11,000 in incentives for 2018.
Saskatchewan revealed ten of its negotiation list names. It includes a 265 lb, 6 ft 5in Canadian fullback, Adam Zaruba out of SFU who signed a three year contract with the Eagles in 2017, but was cut in September only to be resigned in January as a tight end prospect. The list gives descriptions of all ten players.

The Riders have added 23 players to their roster, including former Argo WR Da'Rick Rogers. They cut four others: Nationals OL Peter Dyakowski, safety Jeff Hecht, and DL Eddie Meredith, as well as International DB Taylor Mays.

Bad luck they just lost Jake Harty for the season with a torn ACL. They had high hopes of him taking that number one Canadian spot from Bagg.
Last year in Ottawa he stepped in when Sinopoli was injured and had 26 receptions in 7 games as a starter. Bagg played in 15 games and had 33 receptions.
