REGINA – There will be no more belly rubs in Riderville.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders continued to re-tool the organization on Friday sending international defensive lineman Andre Monroe to the Toronto Argonauts for the rights to international offensive lineman Jarriel King.

Monroe was added to the Green and White’s roster midway through the 2015 season and quickly endeared himself to Riders’ fans with his belly rub. The rookie would hike up his jersey and rub his stomach following each sack, which he did four times in 2015.

King has spent three season with the Argos, starting 26 of 29 games, while spending time at guard and tackle.
