Riders, Jones smacked with $36K in fines by CFL
While the Roughriders maintain that they never worked out former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel, head coach and vice-president of football operations Chris Jones has been fined $5,000 for speaking with his publicist.
And the fines don’t end there.
The Riders were also hit with a $31,500 fine relating to roster violations.
The league determined “there is nothing that concludes that Saskatchewan held any workouts involving Mr. Manziel” in results of its audit of all CFL teams’ salaries and practices released Friday morning.
