REDBLACKS SIGN PARIS JACKSON
The Ottawa REDBLACKS of the Canadian Football League have added versatile veteran Canadian wide receiver Paris Jackson to the team roster.
The 33-year-old native of Vancouver played 11 seasons in the CFL with his hometown B.C. Lions. Jackson (6-3, 215) has 420 career regular-season receptions for 5,757 yards and 31 touchdowns.
He has also been successful in the playoffs, with 47 catches in 15 playoff games. The Lions won Grey Cups in 2006 and 2009 with Jackson on the roster. In 2006, Jackson had two touchdown catches in the West Final and five receptions for 65 yards in the Grey Cup win over Montreal.
The RedBlacks are quietly putting together a fairly impressive line-up. Sure lots of older guys like Paris, but quality players. The trick will be to see if they can become a "TEAM" and how long that might take.
The envious gullible green fanbase will soon find out first hand as their roughriders will be the first team on the CFL record books to lose to the home team REDBLACKS guaranteed on hallowed sacred tax free Taylor Field, and there's nothing the roughriders can do about it.
Nice try cupcake!
Really!
Y'er welcome!
The lions didn't win the Grey Cup in 2009. Montreal beat the Riders
Totally irrelevant comment. What does that have to do with Jackson?
REDBLACKS will also sign Weston Dressler Good addition with the signing of the veteran Paris Jackson.
You just won the delusional award!
"…quietly putting together a fairly impressive lineup…" —->>> you actually serious and believe that ? As an expansion Team, and even with the help of a generous "expansion draft" they should be happy with 6 wins…. because that is all they will get in their first year.
Yep, roughriders with 6 wins…. because that is all they will get in 2014 year
What does that have to do with Jackson.
Read the article ya idiot
Take a Valium!
The news release says BC won the Grey Cup in 2009. It was actually 2011. I don't know whether to fix it now or not.
Impressive line up? The guy had 10 catches for 97 yards last season. Give me a break.
