Riders receiver Taj Smith this past season at Mosaic Stadium.Taj Smith had an outstanding second season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the receiver will be staying in green and white now after re-signing with the team on Thursday.

Smith is coming off a year in which he led the Riders in receptions with 78 and finished with 1,007 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, while helping Saskatchewan to the 2013 Grey Cup title.

Terms of the deal were not released, but the move avoids Smith hitting the open market on February 15th as he was set to become a free agent.

Smith is still facing an aggravated assault charge stemming from the incident in August of last year.  The case isn't back in court until February.
