Ex-Broncos QB Paxton Lynch signs with Saskatchewan in CFL Field Level Media 29 Jun 2021, 10:55 GMT+10 Former Denver Broncos first-round quarterback Paxton Lynch signed to play for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Canadian Football League. The Roughriders announced the move Monday to add Lynch, who was originally selected by the Broncos with the 26th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft out of Memphis. Chosen by then-general manager John Elway, himself a Hall of Fame quarterback in Denver, the 6-foot-7 Lynch never panned out with the team. In his only NFL action, four starts over the 2016 and '17 seasons, he went 1-3 as a starter, completing 61.7 percent of his passes for 792 yards with four touchdown passes and four interceptions.
