No doubt....

The Saskatchewan Roughriders have had the best fan base in CFL. Their home games have been constantly sold out for a long time.

Not sure his game fits in the CFL, hope he can make it. October 30 is circled on my calendar if he makes the team!

He’ll play the Mike position, essentially the only run backer or sled him to weak side edge

Mike is his only option to play imo. The 3 downs are definitely gonna help him. Will depends on his sideline to sideline speed to succeed IMO. If he’s really 220, I like his chances.

No state income tax, tho.

Good for him. 4 year starting linebacker from the University of Miami in the CFL tho? Whatever.

With his paycheuqe you're looking ar around 42 percent.

Ahh the extra 13 yards, not expecting that type of play from your mike.
Your safety is you best tackle, kind of like diaz wants.
Mike is almost exclusively a run stopper and you mess with the OL.

I just saw him on IG buying his sister a pink Lexus, I hope he not blowing his bread

I made the mistake of marrying into a rider family. I've have friends play for the riders too. He will be treated like GOLD in Regina, SK! No doubt!

The Canadian game is wide open and most LBs are undersized and FAST. Wouldn't surprise me to see Pinckney play Rush End in the CFL and do pretty well!

I think he'll move to the Mike for them. I'm excited to see him when he comes down to Hamilton. Going to see if I can see him early on gameday before I work at the stadium

Combined Federal & Saskatchewan Tax Brackets and Tax Rates on over $49,020 up to $98,040 is 33 percent
