The

A 12 year
CFL veteran, Joseph played three seasons (2006-2007, 2014) with the
Roughriders. He was originally acquired in April of 2006 in the CFL Dispersal
Draft, and then re-joined the team as a free agent late in the 2014 season.
In his
time with the Green and White, Joseph played 40 regular season games, starting
34, where he collected 8,097 passing yards and 50 touchdowns on 577
completions. He also added 1,365 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns on 191
carries.
The 41
year old leaves ranked tenth in Riders all-time pass attempts and completions,
eighth in passing yards, and seventh in touchdown
passes.
For his
career, Joseph played 179 regular season games, starting 111, eight playoff
games with six starts, and started his only Grey Cup appearance. He also spent
time with the Ottawa Renegades (2003-05), Toronto (2008-09) and Edmonton
Eskimos (2010-13).
He was
named CFL Most Outstanding Player, CFL All-Star, and won the Grey Cup all in
2007.

Thanks for the memories KJ.
Outstanding human being !
Thanks for 2007.
I hate it when an athletes ego won't let them retire gracefully. He should have been gone long ago and did no one any good by coming back this year, in fact he took vital playing time from others.
