The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed international

originally joining the Stampeders in June, 2008.
Over the last 10 seasons, Hughes has registered 412

fumbles. He’s also appeared in 11 career playoff games and four Grey Cup games.

Mwah ha ha ha!! The pieces of the puzzle just keep coming together.
That's Jones/Murphy scouting and recruitment department at it's finest. Lock in a guy until he's 36 years old, that will build a dynasty.
