Edmonton Eskimos place Hackenberg, Owens on their 45-man negotiation list
The Edmonton Eskimos have added another unemployed former NFL player to their negotiation list.
According to a CFL source, Edmonton has added quarterback Christian Hackenberg to its negotiation list. The 23-year-old is currently a free agent after being released earlier this month by the Oakland Raiders.
On Tuesday, Edmonton placed former receiver Terrell Owens to its list.
Hackenberg was a 2016 second-round pick of the New York Jets but never played a regular-season down for the NFL club. Hackenberg was traded to Oakland last month for a conditional 2019 seventh-round pick but it went back to the Raiders after the quarterback was released.
