REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders were busy on Tuesday, announcing the addition of six players including national running back Dillon Campbell and international running back Michael Ford.

The team also announced that former defensive back Terrell Maze has retired from the Canadian Football League.

International defensive back Kacy Rodgers was the only one added to the active roster, while Campbell, Ford, national defensive lineman Makana Henry, international receiver Caleb Holley and international linebacker Marte Sears were added to the practice roster.

To make room, the Riders released five, including quarterback B.J. Coleman, defensive lineman Cedric McKinley, offensive linemen Aaron Picton and T-Dre Player and defensive back Joel Brtka.

Maze played 57 regular season games over four years with the Green and White after originally signing with the team as a free agent in April, 2012. The San Diego State product registered 140 defensive tackles, 20 pass knockdowns, three forced fumbles and one quarterback sack.

Now 32, Maze also registered three interceptions including a 28-yard return for a touchdown.

He also added four career playoff games and played in one Grey Cup game with the Riders, winning in 2013.
