Five days into Roughrider training camp and Josiah St. John and team management are still at an impasse.

It has now come out that St. John is asking the Riders for a trade, according to reports from Justin Dunk of Three Down Nation.

General manager and head coach Chris Jones had been tight lipped about the negotiations, but at training camp on Thursday admitted there were some difficulties.

“We’d love the have him here, but unfortunately his representation has made it very tough on us,” he said.
