Saskatchewan Roughriders release QB Kevin Glenn day after trading for Zach Collaros

One day after acquiring quarterback Zach Collaros, the Saskatchewan Roughriders have released veteran QB Kevin Glenn.

On Wednesday, the Riders traded for quarterback Zach Collaros from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in exchange for a second-round draft pick.

The Roughriders previously announced the signing of Canadian quarterback Brandon Bridge to a one-year contract extension through the 2018 season. 

Bridge and Kevin Glenn split passing duties during the 2017 season.

The Riders are currently without a quarterback coach after the B.C. Lions hired Jarious Jackson as the team’s offensive co-ordinator and quarterbacks coach.

Glenn enjoyed one of his finest statistical campaigns in 2017, compiling a quarterback rating of 100.0 (67.9 completion percentage, 4,038 passing yards, 25 touchdowns and 14 interceptions). He was also durable, missing just one start with a hand injury that may have hampered him for an extended period.
