Emilus snags one-year contract extension from Roughriders
Samuel Emilus’ breakout 2023 season has earned him a contract extension.
The CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders announced Monday they had signed the 26-year-old receiver to a one-year extension that will keep him with the team through the 2025 season.
In 2023 — his second season in the CFL — Emilus had 70 catches for 1,097 yards and six touchdowns in 18 regular-season games. The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder ranked in the top 10 in the CFL in catches (ninth), receiving yards (eighth) and touchdowns (tied for fifth).
He was the Roughriders’ nominee for the CFL award as outstanding Canadian.
