The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed international offensive lineman Thaddeus Coleman to a two-year contract extension keeping him with the team through 2019.         

Coleman (6’7 – 320) recently completed his fifth CFL season and second with the Riders. The 32-year-old Mississippi Valley State product was originally acquired by the Riders in a May, 2016 trade with the Edmonton Eskimos, with whom he had spent his first three seasons. He re-signed with the Green and White shortly after becoming a free agent in February, 2017.   

Last year, Coleman started all 18 regular-season games, Eastern Semi-Final and Eastern Final at right tackle.

He was named the Riders’ Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman in 2016.
