What’s old is new again for the Riders offensive line.

The Riders signed Josiah St. John to a one-year contract. The Riders selected him first overall in the 2016 draft. After three seasons in green, they released him.

St. John spent last season with Toronto, BC and Edmonton. He was on the roster for the Eskimos in last season’s East Final.

The 27 year old will add Canadian depth to the Riders front. They lost two Canadians in free agency Tuesday–Philip Blake and Dariusz Bladek both signed with the Argos.
