Two Saskatchewan-born offensive linemen sign extensions with Roughriders

REGINA – The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed homegrown offensive linemen Dan Clark and Brendon LaBatte through the 2022 season.

The Regina-born Clark was a CFL all-star in 2019, helping the Roughriders score a league-high 26 rushing touchdowns.

Clark, who played all 18 games last year, made his Roughriders debut in 2012 after joining the club as a territorial junior in 2009.

LaBatte played six games last year after recovering from injury.

The native of Weyburn, Sask., is a six-time CFL all-star and was the CFL’s most outstanding lineman in 2013.

A first-round pick (sixth overall) by Winnipeg in the 2008 CFL draft, LaBatte played four seasons for the Blue Bombers before joining the Roughriders.

ARGOS EXTEND THREE

The Toronto Argonauts have extended the contracts of American defensive back Cameron Glenn, wide receiver Dres Anderson and defensive lineman Obinna Iheoma.

Glenn played one game for the Argos last year after spending time with the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers.

Anderson last played for Salt Lake of the Alliance of American Football before the league suspended operations last year.

Iheoma is a Northwestern State University product.
