The Edmonton Eskimos have landed defensive end John Chick in a trade with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Chick heads to Edmonton along with a fifth round draft pick while the Eskimos send a second round pick to the Ticats. Both draft picks in 2018.
The trade was confirmed by both teams on Sunday.
Now in his eighth CFL season, Chick is widely considered one of the league’s most dominant pass rushers. The 34-year-old has recorded 69 sacks in 117 career outings for Saskatchewan and Hamilton along with 15 forced fumbles.
While he’s mostly remembered for his time in Saskatchewan, which includes two Grey Cup Championships in 2007 and 2013, the Utah State alum enjoyed a rebound season with the Ticats in 2016 after being released by the Riders that off-season.
This season, however, has seen a drop-off in production for Chick, who’s recorded only two sacks over eight games. Over that span, the Ticats have failed to win a football game while their defence ranks at or near the bottom of the CFL in nearly every major statistical category.

Can't be much longer till Collaros goes. Maybe to Montreal and then the Als can get rid of Durant.
That has turned out to be a great move for the Riders. Trust Jones!
Collins nets a nobody, yet Edmonton gets a 2nd for Chick. That's some intelligent GM'ing going on over in the new stadium.
The white flag is up n Hamilton. Who is next?

A 2nd for Chick? Wow, did Sunderland get fleeced on this deal! Has Chick done anything this year?

Chick is a potential Hall of Famer. Collins hasn't even proven he can stay healthy for a full season and be a good teammate!! NO COMPARISON!! Please!!!
