Coleman, Johnson sign contract extensions
Offensive tackle Thaddeus Coleman and cornerback Jovon Johnson have signed contract extensions with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Both players had been eligible to test CFL free agency in February.
The six-foot-seven, 320-pound Coleman, 32, is a veteran of five CFL seasons, including the last two with Saskatchewan.
The 34-year-old Johnson, an 11-year CFL veteran, had two interceptions — one of which he returned for a touchdown — with the Roughriders last season.
Coleman signed a twoyear extension. The duration of Johnson’s new deal was not disclosed. The Moose Jaw Warriors are second in the weekly CHL top-10 rankings.
Moose Jaw, which has a 27-6-1-1 record, is behind the OHL’s Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.
Two other WHL teams are in the top 10 — the Swift Current Broncos (fourth) and Brandon Wheat Kings (fifth).
