REGINA — Veteran linebacker Solomon Elimimian has a new home.
The six-foot-two, 225-pound Elimimian signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Thursday. Elimimian spent his first nine CFL seasons with the B.C. Lions.
Elimimian has enjoyed a decorated CFL career thus far. He was the league’s top rookie in 2010 and twice been named its outstanding defensive player (2014, ’16). But in 2014 the 32-year-old became the first defensive player in the modern era to be named the CFL’s top player.
