The Saskatchewan Roughriders have announced the following roster movies:

RE-SIGNED:

  • American defensive back Damon Webb

Webb (5’11 – 195) signed with the NFL’s Tennessee Titans as an undrafted free agent in 2018.  He played in four preseason games for the Titans recording five tackles and two pass deflections.

 

Webb spent four collegiate seasons at Ohio State playing in 35 games and recording 131 tackles, four tackles for loss, two touchdowns from six interceptions, seven pass deflections, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. The Detroit native had a standout season in his final year, recording five interceptions – the second-best total in the Big Ten. Webb helped lead his team to the 2017 Cotton Bowl where he was named MVP.  He was also named to the All-Big Ten third-team in his senior year and was an honourable mention as a junior.

 

In addition, National offensive lineman Vincent Roy has chosen to retire from football. Roy was selected by the Riders in the sixth round of the 2019 CFL Draft.
