EDMONTON — The Edmonton Eskimos have made their big splash on the Canadian Football League free agency market, attracting linebacker Maurice Lloyd from the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Sources say they signed Lloyd to a one-year plus an option deal.

Maciocia also managed to attract free-agent safety Scott Gordon from the Riders and replaced the loss of offensive lineman Joe McGrath with the signing of Kyle Koch from Winnipeg.
Fullback and special-teams player Graeme Bell also joins the Esks as a free agent from Winnipeg. Both Koch, who played at McMaster, and Bell are non-imports, who affect the Canadian ratio.
The Eskimos were said to be still conversing with Canadian running back Jesse Lumsden, but he is expected to remain in Hamilton.
Earlier the Esks had lost McGrath, a Moose Jaw native, to the Roughriders and traded safety Siddeeq Shabazz to Winnipeg for defensive lineman Kai Ellis.
