One of the CFL’s all-time sack leaders is heading to free agency.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced Wednesday they had released defensive end Charleston Hughes ahead of free agency. The 37-year-old’s contract was set to expire next Tuesday.
“After ongoing negotiations that took place over the last several weeks, we were unable to come to an agreement with Charleston,” Roughriders vice-president of football operations Jeremy O’Day said in a media release.
“While we are disappointed, we want to thank Charleston for his dedication to the Riders and to the Saskatchewan community during his time with the Club.”
