The Saskatchewan Roughriders have parted ways with Return Specialist Corey Holmes.

     The Saskatchewan Roughriders released Corey Holmes from the team yesterday.

     Rider GM Eric Tillman says it was a difficult, but necessary decision.  Since re-signing Wes Cates, Holmes had a reduced role with the team, and the Riders can't afford a six-figure salary with the cap.

     Holmes re-joined the team mid-way through last season, from Hamilton.
