RIDERS ACQUIRE KING FROM ARGOS


The Saskatchewan Roughriders have acquired the rights to international offensive lineman Jarriel King from the Toronto Argonauts. In exchange, the Riders have sent international defensive lineman Andre Monroe to the Argonauts. 
King (6’5 – 315) played three regular season games for the Argonauts last season. Through three seasons with the Argos, King has played 29 regular season games, with 26 starts, spending time at guard and tackle.

Monroe a keeper under O'Day's watch, as were the recent announced cuts he signed to contracts just a month ago. There's a new sheriff in town… Jones… Chris Jones. No wonder…

I thought Monroe was one of the better d players last season??? Not unless Jones has some better ideas. The Rider o line wasnt necessarily stellar, and probably needed a few changes as well.

Don't worry, Jones knows who is going to play on the D-line already. Maybe a revamped O-line can keep DD upright. Keep doing your thing Chris.

My crystal ball says that by 2017 there will be a second Jones in green and white – a fellow by the name of Brett.

It's a refreshing thing to see that there are not sacred cows any more. That mentality has always kept the Riders from reaching the potential they should have. Shades of the Miller era where he could never get over the hump leading to the Marshall mess.

A 6'5" O-lineman that can play is more valuable than a 5'10 D-lineman who really only stood out in one game. It appears that Jones wants to keep DD healthy this season.
