Tom Canada is staying put.
The hard-charging rush end has signed a three-year contract with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, a source requesting anonymity told The Canadian Press on Saturday.
The six-foot-three, 255-pound Canada, who finished third in the CFL last year with 12 sacks, became a free agent at 12:01 a.m. ET on Saturday.
The Blue Bombers also retained linebacker Neil McKinlay and defensive back Ian Logan, who had both become free agents.
Canada, regarded as the top player in this year’s free-agent pool, will now remain with the only CFL team he has played for during his four-year career north of the border. He has also shown steady improvement with the Bombers, having developed into one of the league’s top pass rushers.
