New Roughriders sign on to work with Chris Jones
In Jones they trust. The new boss has yielded quite the crop of players for the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the reason they came wasn’t about anything more than the boss himself.
“Coach Jones” was the first response for many of those the Riders signed on day two of free agency.
Kendial Lawrence, Otha Foster and Shamawd Chambers were with Chris Jones and the rest of the coaching staff in Edmonton for the last two seasons.
“He sticks to his word,” explained Lawrence, the combination running back and receiver who is entering his third year in the CFL.
