WINNIPEG - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have agreed to terms with 2019 CFL most outstanding defensive player Willie Jefferson on a restructured contract.
Jefferson had a career-best 12 sacks, set a new CFL record for pass knockdowns by a defensive lineman with 16 and led the league with six forced fumbles in 2019, his first year with the Blue Bombers.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers and quarterback Zach Collaros have come to terms on a restructured contract after covid-19 forced the cancellation of the 2020 CFL season.

SURREY The BC Lions have bolstered their secondary by adding free agent DB Marcus Sayles to a three-year contract with the team.
“Marcus is a talented player who brings plenty of energy,” said Lions co-GM and head coach Rick Campbell.
“He will be a great addition to the group we are assembling on defence in 2021 and beyond.”
Sayles spent most of 2020 on the Minnesota Vikings practice squad after signing with the team last January.
In 34 games over two seasons (2018-19) with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the native of Alpharetta, Georgia recorded 136 tackles, six interceptions, five forced fumbles, two sacks plus a pair of defensive touchdowns.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Zach Collaros have come to terms on a restructured contract for the upcoming season that means the quarterback will be earning less.
