The Saskatchewan Roughriders’ offseason has started sooner than the team planned following a 33-26 loss in the West Semi-Final.
After winning the 112th Grey Cup in Winnipeg, the Riders were not able to claim back-to-back CFL championships for the first time in franchise history.
The Green and White are hosting the 114th Grey Cup in Regina at Mosaic Stadium on Sunday, November 7, 2027. The Riders have 34 pending free agents to make decisions about as Saskatchewan aims to play in a CFL title game on prairie soil.
