REGINA, Saskatchewan -- Vince Young has signed with the Canadian Football League's Saskatchewan Roughriders.
The 33-year-old former Texas and NFL quarterback agreed Thursday to a two-year deal -- one year, plus an option. He last played in an NFL regular-season game in 2011 with Philadelphia and retired in 2014 after being released by Cleveland.
"I wouldn't say a comeback. I'd just say an opportunity," Young said. "I always wanted to play football again, but didn't know how it was going to happen. God always works in mysterious ways."
The 6-foot-5, 232-pound Young was 30-2 at Texas and led the Longhorns to the national title with a Rose Bowl victory over South California.
