Riders Add Two, Release One

The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced the addition of non-import offensive lineman Brendan Dunn and import offensive lineman Devin Tyler to the teams practice roster.

Dunn (6’7 – 280) was originally selected by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the 3rd round (17th overall) of the 2011 Canadian Draft. The Burlington, ON native spent the entire 2012 season on the Bombers practice squad.

The 24-year-old spent five seasons at the University of Western Ontario where he was named a 2011 first team CIS All-Canadian.

Tyler (6’7 – 300) joins the Riders after spending the last two seasons with the Edmonton Eskimos. The third year CFL veteran started 11 regular season games and the 2012 East Semi-Final at left tackle. The 27-year-old also started 11 regular season games and two playoff games at left tackle in 2011.

The Temple graduate previously spent time with the Baltimore Ravens and Arizona Cardinals during the 2010 season.

• The Riders also announced the release of import defensive lineman Will Davis.

Scruffy,

If you want to know the rules for the upcoming expansion draft, here is the Wikipedia link

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_CFL_Expansion_Draft

Basically it comes down to this. Each team can protect 10 imports plus 1 QB along with 6 non-imports.

Ottawa then drafts 1 import from each team. If Ottawa takes a QB from a team they can protect 2 additional non-imports. If Ottawa selects a punter / kicker, from a team they can protect 1 additional non-import.

Ottawa then selects 1 non-import from each team. Before the 3rd round (2nd non-import round), each team can protect up to 6 additional non-imports. Ottawa then selects one additional non-import from each team.

At the end of the day, each CFL team will lose 1 import and 2 non-imports.

Due to the limits on who can be protected, that is whay I asked the question today about protecting players whose contracts have expired.

Keep up the good work.
