Nichols was scheduled to become a free agent in February.

The five-foot-nine, 180-pound Miami native has played in 47 regular-season games for Winnipeg,  recording 126 defensive tackles, one sack, four interceptions and one forced fumble.

He helped the Blue Bombers win the Grey Cup in 2021, and was a CFL all-star in 2021 and ’22.

Nichols had 37 defensive tackles over 18 games last season as Winnipeg made it to its fourth straight Grey Cup final, losing 28-24 to the Montreal Alouettes in Hamilton.
