RIDERS EXTEND ZACK EVANS
The Regina product said it was not a difficult negotiation with the Riders for the new deal.
“No,” Evans said. “Honestly it was easy to come to an agreement. It was basically just logistics and understanding ‘when’ and ‘how’, so once that was cleared it up, it was easy in all aspects.”
Evans (6’4 – 295) is a veteran of seven seasons after originally entering the CFL with the Riders as a territorial junior in 2012. The 28-year-old Regina native spent two seasons with the Green and White before being selected by the Ottawa Redblacks in the 2013 CFL Expansion Draft. After four years in Ottawa, Evans returned home to Saskatchewan, signing with the club ahead of the 2018 season.
By Evans’ count, he’s headed into his 9th CFL season after initially joining Saskatchewan’s practice roster in 2011.
“I’m only 28 but I’ve got a lot of miles on me,” Evans admitted. “I haven’t left the field in a few years now. I’m older, but I still have a lot of years left in me.”
