REGINA — The waiting game is on for the Riders’ first-round draft pick, but in the meantime the team announced Wednesday that three draft picks have signed, including linebacker and second-round pick Micah Teitz.

Teitz, a linebacker out of Calgary, was the 14th overall pick last month and is expected to join the team in time for training camp, opening Sunday.

The Riders also announced they’ve signed fifth-round pick and defensive lineman Mathieu Breton and sixth-round pick Tresor Buama-Mafuta, another defensive lineman.

Dakoda Shepley, the Riders’ first pick in the draft, has not yet signed as he continues to pursue an opportunity south of the border.
