The Ottawa Redblacks have signed American linebacker Avery Williams to a one-year contract extension through the 2022 season.
A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Williams has been among the CFL leaders in tackles all season, currently sitting in third place with 83 — the highest total of any player in the East Division. The 27 year-old has also posted ione sack, one forced fumble that he recovered, along with the first interception of his CFL career.
Williams joins star returner DeVonte Dedmon, punter Richie Leone, kicker Lewis Ward, defensive lineman Nigel Romick, running back Brendan Gillanders, and safety Justin Howell in re-signing with the Redblacks for 2022.
