The 2013 Saskatchewan Roughriders season is the 56th season for the team in the Canadian Football League. The Roughriders will attempt to improve upon their 8–10 record from 2012, make the playoffs, and win their 4th Grey Cup championship. They will also try to play in their first Grey Cup game at home, given that the 2013 Grey Cup will take place in Regina.

Offseason

Coaches

The Riders released Mike Walker (Defensive Line Coach), Alex Smith (Linebackers Coach) and Kris Sweet (Offensive Line Coach). The team also signed Mike Sinclair to be the Defensive Line Coach and Assistant Head coach. Sinclair is no longer with the Riders, after signing with the NFL's Chicago Bears. They have also signed Richard Kent to be another Defensive Back Coach.

Players

On January 24, 2013, the Riders traded Justin Harper and a 2014 4th round pick to the BC Lions for six-time all-star and two-time Grey Cup champion Geroy Simon. Simon had been a member of the Lions since 2001.

The Roughriders were also lauded for signing many big name free agents, including the 2009 Most Outstanding Canadian and the 100th Grey Cup's Most Valuable Canadian, Ricky Foley. They also signed defensive backs Dwight Anderson, Weldon Brown, and linebacker Tristan Black.

CFL Draft

The 2013 CFL Draft will take place on May 6, 2013. Currently, the Roughriders have four selections total in the six-round draft, after trading away their second round pick during a 2012 draft trade and their fourth round pick in a trade for Greg Carr. At one point, the Roughriders had three consecutive fifth round picks, but traded the lower two to Edmonton in exchange for Brody McKnight and their sixth round pick.
