RIDERS SIGN QB, RELEASE TWO

The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced today that import quarterback Adam Weber has signed with the team. As per club policy financial details of the contract were not released.

 

Weber (6’3 – 210) joins the Riders after spending the last three seasons in the National Football League.

The 26-year-old holds the Golden Gopher career record and ranks third all-time in Big Ten passing yards with 10,917 and touchdowns with 72. He was named to the 2007 Big Ten All-Freshmen team after throwing for 2,895 yards and 24 touchdowns; both single season school records.
