Former Seahawk punter Jon Ryan signs with hometown Saskatchewan Roughriders

If Jon Ryan couldn’t stay with the Seahawks or in the NFL, then going home to keep playing the game he loves is undoubtedly the next best thing.

And that’s what Ryan will get to do as it was reported Monday evening that he has signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League.

The Roughriders play in Regina, where Ryan was born and played college football before beginning his pro career with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL and then breaking into the NFL in 2006.

Ryan confirmed the news by tweeting a video to the song Coming Home by Diddy and his group Dirty Money, and various Canadian media outlets also reported it Monday.
