Sports Night


OK, whats the plan?!?!
With the trade of Dalton Bell to the Toronto Argonauts, that leaves the Roughriders with three quarterbacks.
Darian Durant, Graham Harrell and Cole Bergquist.
The latter two have never attended a CFL training camp but spent most of last season watching Durant, Jyles and Bell during practice.
So is the Rider brass comfortable going into camp with this scenario or is there one more big move to come?
Because there is one big name and popular quarterback available.
Here are the Saskatchewan Roughriders losses in 2010.
VP Football Operations/General Manager Eric Tillman, Offensive Coordinator/Receivers Coach Paul LaPolice, Offensive Line Coach Bob Wylie, Defensive Player of the Year John Chick, CFL All-Star Stevie Baggs and Director of Player Personnel Joe Womack is still pondering a job offer.
Ouch! is an understatement... and it's only February!!!
Here's the list of CFL Free Agents as compiled by the league.
What's your wishlist?!?! With no John Chick and maybe no Stevie Baggs, the name that jumps off the list for this Arm Chair GM is Jonathan Brown.
Though there has been no official word on Eric Tillman's future, he's not coming back - he can't. There would be too much public outcry and too much of a public relations nightmare for the team.
For Tillman, take into consideration he and his wife want to avoid any verbal harassment that will be directed their way if they continue to make Regina home, especially to protect their two children. Someone WILL shout, yell, spew something towards he or his wife in public. It happens.
