Coach Corey Mace has been hired by the Riders. leaving double blue for green and white. In the words of TSN's Don Landry, he is a "Player Magnet". But who might we see leave the 416 for the 306? Here are a few players who may jump the ship in free agency.
1: ADARIUS PICKETT
A very versatile player who is all over the defense, Pickett would bring an excellent re-enforcement to a bit of a struggling Riders secondary. Also a linebacker, Pickett will bring adaptability to wherever Corey Mace puts him. He would be a very valuable piece to add to the Riders defense, as well as having some familiarity with Mace.
2: WYNTON MCMANIS
McManis has followed Mace wherever he goes. He was with him in Calgary, joined him when he wentto Toronto, and why wouldn't he come with him to Saskatchewan? If Pickett also heads to Sasky, there will be even more incentive for McManis to jump the Argos ship and head to greener pastures.
3: JAMAL PETERS
When Rolan Milligan was lost to injury, the Riders secondary took a hit that changed the trajectory ofthe season. Peters would bring depth and another all-star corner to the Riders' D. Jamal Peters is a former CFL All-Star and has ties with Mace. It's very possible that he will leave for Saskatchewan.
4: A.J. OUELETTE
This one isn't as likely, but it would be kind of fun for Rider fans. A.J. Ouellette would be the kind of running back to crush a beer in Pil Country after a TD run. He's also an absolute monster back, who justploughs through defences like they're not even there. Plus, he's a really nice guy off the field. He has also reposted some tweets by Rider fans about Rider green Thor hammer merch sales on his twitter, which may be him hinting on where he's headed.
