The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced on Wednesday that quarterback Brandon Bridge has signed a one-year extension with the team.
The Canadian quarterback will be back with the Riders for his fourth CFL season and third with the club after signing as a free agent in August 2016.
Bridge spent his rookie season playing for the Montreal Alouettes.
He dressed for all 18 regular-season games last season and completed 92 of 138 pass attempts for 1,236 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Bridge started one game for the Riders against the Tiger-Cats and he threw for 231 yards and three touchdowns for a 27-19 Riders win.
In the East Final, Bridge completed 11 passes and threw for 141 yards and one touchdown in the Riders 21-25 loss to eventual Grey Cup Champions Toronto Argonauts.
“It is a real positive to get Brandon under contract for next season so we can continue to build with our core group of players,” stated Chris Jones, Riders vice-president of football operations, general manager and head coach.
“Brandon is a good young quarterback who has shown a lot of growth. A player with his size, athletic ability and competitive drive has unlimited potential.”
Bridge was eligible to become a free agent on Feb. 13, 2018.
