The 36-year-old has played four seasons with the Green and White.
It’s been a busy off-season for GM Jeremy O’Day and the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
The latest player to come to terms with the Green and White is actually a familiar face.
On Friday the team announced they’ve agreed to a contract extension with defensive lineman Micah Johnson.

The 36-year old has played four seasons with the Green and White, and played in all 18 games for the Riders in 2024.
Last season Johnson registered 28 defensive tackles and six sacks, those numbers were good enough for team lead.
He was also a part of a defence that allowed the fewest rushing first downs and rushing yards in the CFL last season.
Johnson is also a four time All-CFLer and a seven time divisional All-CFLer.
The veteran has suited up for the Calgary Stampeders, where he won two Grey Cups, as well as the BC Lions and Hamilton Tiger Cats.
