After months of speculation, the Saskatchewan Roughriders have brought in Brendan Taman.
The former Blue Bomber General Manager will replace Tony Playter as Director of Football Administration. The buzz around the league when Taman resigned from the Blue Bombers was Taman would be brought in by Saskatchewan as an heir apparent to General Manager Eric Tillman during Tillman's court case.
But Taman put to rest those rumours on his first day back in Green and White.
