THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The Toronto Argonauts traded import offensive lineman Cliff Washburn to the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Wednesday in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2010 CFL Canadian draft and a conditional pick in the 2011 draft.

The six-foot-six 300-pound Washburn last played for the Argonauts in 2006. He recently returned to the team after playing in the NFL and NFL Europe.

The Riders also signed import kicker/punter Louis Sakoda to their practice roster.
