The Hamilton Tiger-Cats signed American receiver Luke Tasker to a two-year contract extension Monday. “Luke is a leader in our locker-room and has developed into one of the best receivers in the Canadian Football League,” head coach June Jones said. Tasker, 27, registered career highs in games (18), catches (104), receiving yards (1,167) and receiving touchdowns (seven) last season. The son of former Buffalo Bills star Steve Tasker, he has a career mark of 341 receptions for 4,224 yards and 24 touchdowns.
