#BCLions Dominique Rhymes has asked for a trade. He was due to make 110k next season but the new market for top receivers has him wanting more. BC did offer him a raise but it wasn’t acceptable. His agent has permission to look at trade options with other teams. @CFLonTSN pic.twitter.com/Pdh8TpEt8r
