The Saskatchewan Roughriders' off-season shopping list has grown significantly.

Paul LaPolice, the Roughriders' offensive co-ordinator for the past two CFL seasons, reportedly accepted an offer Thursday to become the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' head coach. An official announcement out of Winnipeg is expected Friday.

As well, defensive end Stevie Baggs — who had 12 sacks for the Roughriders in 2009 to tie for the CFL lead — signed a free-agent deal with the NFL's Arizona Cardinals on Wednesday.
