American defensive lineman Drake Nevis extends contract with Bombers

Defensive lineman Drake Nevis has signed a one-year extension with the Bombers.

The 28-year-old played 14 games in 2017 making 22 tackles and one sack. Those numbers were down from 2016 when Nevis put up 29 tackles and five sacks with Hamilton.

#Bombers announce the re-signing of DT Drake Nevis. Signed for big money last winter, Nevis was a non-factor for long stretches this past season. This is an eyebrow-raiser. #CFL
