Which is it Rider fans? Admit it...you lost that trade.

The Riders didn't lose the trade. They don't need Nicolson. Riders just signed Grice-Mullen who is a receiver returner and they have Regina born Sisco waiting in the wings.
The stupid part is why Dorsey and Rodriguez weren't released 2 weeks ago. The Riders just wasted a ton of cap space. I'm sure they saved a bit of space putting Dorsey on the 9 game IR but he should have been released weeks ago.
Rodriguez's sallary probably means the Riders will go over the cap is they sign Baggs. Although I'm not an expert on the CFL CBA, there may be a provision for extra space for NFL cast-offs.
Good for the rest of the CFL though.
