A great pickup by the Argos who get a CFL and West Division All-Star, a guy with five 1,000 yard seasons and 72-career touchdowns. To be honest, I'm starting to get really excited for the upcoming CFL Season now!
And the Saskatchewan Roughriders made yet another signing today – this time bringing back a former player.
The Saskatchewan Roughrider Football Club announced they have signed import running back/kick returner Dominique Dorsey to a contract. Financial details of the signing were not released.

In 54 games played in the CFL, Dorsey had 145 kickoff returns for 3,239 yards and two touchdowns and 212 punt returns for 2,301 yards and two touchdowns. In addition, the 26 year old had 119 carries for 657 yards and four touchdowns plus 26 receptions for 381 yards.
