Defensive back Mike Edem has signed a contract extension with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, bringing the veteran Canadian back to Riderville for a fifth season.

The 32-year-old earned a career high 69 tackles in 2019 and was named a West Division All-Star.

He was limited to just five games in 2021 due to injury, but managed 11 tackles and a forced fumble.

Edem, who has become a core piece of the Riders defence, joined the team in 2017 after a trade with B.C.
