John Chick has retired at age 35 after a long, distinguished career with Saskatchewan, Hamilton and Edmonton.
Chick, who won the Grey Cup with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2007 and 2013, was considered one of the league's top pass rushers. He split last season between Hamilton and Edmonton. ...
The six-foot-four 248-pound native of Gillette, Wy., made his CFL debut with Saskatchewan in 2007 and was named the league's top defensive player in 2009.
He spent time with the NFL's Indianapolis Colts in 2010 and played 19 games over two seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars before returning to the Roughriders in 2013. Chick signed with the Tiger-Cats as a free agent in 2016. Over 125 career CFL games, Chick had 242 tackles, 72 sacks and one interception.
"John will go down as one of the best players to have ever played in the CFL," said Eskimos general manager Brock Sunderland. "He gave 110 per cent effort on every play, whether it was in a game or a practice and was a player that always had to be accounted for by opposing offences."
