The Saskatchewan Roughriders have acquired national receiver Cory Watson and a 3rd round pick (26th overall) in the 2015 Canadian Draft from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
In exchange the Riders have sent national receiver Kris Bastien, a 2nd round pick (15th overall) in the 2015 Canadian Draft, and the rights to a negotiation list player to the Bombers.
Watson (6'3 - 212) has spent five seasons in Winnipeg after the Blue Bombers selected him in the 2nd round (9th overall) of the 2010 Canadian Draft.
Last season the 30-year-old Quebec native registered 21 receptions for 287 yards and three touchdowns in 12 regular season games.
For his career Watson has recorded 178 catches for 2,217 receiving yards and six touchdowns in 67 regular season games. He was named the Blue Bombers Most Outstanding Canadian in 2011.

Taman's act tired and old like his teams with no long term development prospects.
So Taman screws up taking Sisco, and now he trades for the guy taken with the next pick
Scruffy, I think your desire to have Addison Richards get drafted by the Riders has come to a screeching halt. No need for a CDN receiver now.
If Sisco actually wanted to do the work associated with being a professional football player, he would still be with the Riders. The guy is a perfect example of what could have been.
We are trending in a way that's not good. Continually trading down in the draft (deep draft) and taking these 30+ guys is going to come back to bite us.
This team is being run so much like the old Winnipeg teams were. We all know how that turned out, and who was in charge.
