Former Tech QB Harrell signs with CFL team

REGINA, Saskatchewan – Record-setting Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell is headed to the CFL, having signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Thursday.
Harrell is the NCAA Division I career leader in touchdown passes but wasn't drafted by the NFL. His workout with the Cleveland Browns did not result in a contract.
Harrell had to fight the perception that his numbers were the product of Texas Tech's offensive system and he didn't have the arm strength to succeed in the NFL.
The Roughriders are already two games into their season and have three quarterbacks on their roster. Their starter is former North Carolina quarterback Darian Durant, who had only four career CFL starts coming into the season.

This is a shame...it would be cool to see Harrell getting some time as Stephen McGee's backup in Dallas.
I think they should have at least offered Harrell a shot on the practice squad.
It should be interesting to see what happens. I know nothing about the CFL.
