Kevin Glenn is back with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
The veteran quarterback signed with the Riders as a free agent Thursday. Glenn, 35, began his CFL career with Saskatchewan in 2001 and spent three seasons with the club.
Glenn started 17 regular-season games last season with the B.C. Lions. He completed 302-of-479 passes (63 per cent) and was the league's second-leading passer with 3,918 yards while adding 17 TD strikes.
He is expected to provide a veteran insurance policy behind incumbent Darian Durant, who missed much of last season with an elbow injury.
Glenn has played in 222 career CFL games with Saskatchewan, Winnipeg (2004-08), Hamilton (2009-11), Calgary (2012-13) and B.C. (2014). He's eighth all-time in passing yards (43,336) and 10th in TDs (238).
The Riders also signed American defensive lineman John Chick to a contract extension and free-agent national offensive lineman Gord Hinse.
The six-foot-four, 250-pound Chick is entering his sixth season with Saskatchewan and is now under contract to the CFL club through the 2016 season. Chick had a CFL-high 15 sacks last year while adding a career-best 45 tackles to capture league all-star honours.
Chick, 32, has registered 42 sacks in 73 career regular-season games with Saskatchewan. He has helped the Riders win two Grey Cup titles (2007, '13) and was the CFL's top defensive player in '09.
The six-foot-four, 307-pound Hinse spent last season with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers after playing his first five seasons with the Edmonton Eskimos. Hinse, 27, has played 52 career regular seasons games at both centre and guard.
