WINNIPEG – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed American linebacker Tony Jones to a two-year contract extension, the CFL club announced Wednesday.
Jones was scheduled to become a free agent in February.
The six-foot-two, 235-pound player out of Texas Tech signed with the Blue Bombers on June 9 after being released by the Edmonton Elks during training camp.
He made his Blue Bomber debut in July in Saskatchewan as a reserve defender and then started the next 11 regular-season games — plus the Western Final and Grey Cup — at both weak-side and middle linebacker.
Jones finished third on the team with 60 total tackles (49 defence, 11 special teams), while adding an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble return.
He has 116 tackles over 31 career games with Edmonton and Winnipeg.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 4, 2024.
