WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed cornerback Winston Rose to a one-year contract extension.
He had been scheduled to become a free agent in February.
Rose was third on the Bombers last season with 66 tackles while adding three interceptions, including one for a touchdown.
Rose added eight tackles and an interception in the Bombers' win over B.C. in the Western final and another five tackles in their loss to Toronto in the Grey Cup.
Rose led the CFL in interceptions in 2019 and was a league all-star.
He spent most of the 2020 season on the practice roster with the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals, suiting up for two regular season games, and then rejoined the Blue Bombers in October 2021.
A veteran of 60 CFL games with Ottawa, B.C., and Winnipeg, Rose has 182 career tackles and 17 interceptions.
