Super-agent Leigh Steinberg has announced that his client, former NFL player Vince Young, is engaged in open negotiations to join the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders.

This comes just a short while after it was announced that Young was making a comeback to the gridiron and had signed on with Steinberg to represent him.
It’s not yet known exactly what the end result will be here. But Young seems committed to playing professionally somewhere.
Young has not taken a regular season snap in the NFL since he was a member of the Philadelphia Eagles back in 2011.
In reaching out to Steinberg, the agent told me that his client is “exploring all options.”
We will definitely have more information on this story as it breaks.
