Is Alex Singleton joining the Roughriders roster long term now that the NFL Eagles booted him to the curbside? He could, would fit right in with the Roughriders organization. Its fanbase, small town media would make him a media darling dream, the franchise face so to say. Wholesome Singleton would surely have Riderville eating out the palm of his hand.
