Thanks Mr. Roy Shivers for scouting, recruiting, developing, signing to contract on behalf of the Riders, long term player prospect Weston Dressler. Congratulations Mr. Dressler on your contract extension.
Aww ! How cute, Roughriders gets roped into signing little fellow to a excessive long deal, fall to 4th place finish 2015 CFL season. Rider Gm should know better than throwing $200,000**+ per season on old players, he should be recruiting and developing cheap/young long term team prospects.
