The Saskatchewan Roughriders released four pending unrestricted free agents Friday, a little more than two weeks before they were set to hit the open market.
Defensive lineman Dylan Ainsworth, receiver Shamawd Chambers, quarterback Mitchell Gale, and running back Curtis Steele were released by the team Friday, getting an early start to free agency.
TSN Senior Correspondent Gary Lawless reported Chambers being unhappy with the direction of the Roughriders, which could explain his early release.
Chambers signed with the Roughriders last off-season after helping the Edmonton Eskimos win the Grey Cup, and being named the game's Most Valuable Canadian in the process.
The 27-year-old former sixth overall draft pick finished with 25 receptions for 269 yards and a touchdown in his one season in Saskatchewan.
Ainsworth, the team's second round pick in 2014, finished with one defensive tackle and 12 special teams stops last year for the Riders.
Gale was acquired from the Toronto Argonauts last season and saw action in nine games for Saskatchewan, finishing 79-137 for 950 yards and two touchdowns to three interceptions.
Steele was signed as a free agent after a stint with the Argos as well, and played in seven games for the Riders, finishing with 54 carries for 314 yards.
