The Saskatchewan Roughriders are taking a run at all-purpose running back Dominique Dorsey, whom the Toronto Argonauts are trying to re-sign, sources told sportsnet.ca.
The Riders are apparently putting forth a contract with a significant signing bonus that has made Dorsey evaluate his options. Dorsey began his Canadian Football League career in 2005 with Saskatchewan where he played two seasons as a backup running back/returner. He was traded to Winnipeg in May 2007 and released a month later. The general manager of the Bombers was Brendan Taman, who is now the Riders' GM.
Dorsey rose to unexpected prominence with the Argos, who signed him as a free agent. He emerged into a special teams star and a year later and was voted the Outstanding Special Teams player in the CFL.
He parlayed that into a tryout with the Washington Redskins but was released in the final cuts before the start of the regular season. He rejoined the Argos in September, but was limited in his return by an ankle sprain.
NOTES: The Hamilton Tiger-Cats and B.C. Lions are also believed to be interested in signing Dorsey
