Riders beat Lions to punch ticket to CFL West final
Nov 03, 2024
The Riders are back in the West final for the first time since 2021.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders now have their talented trio of receivers from 2018 locked up for 2021.
The CFL team announced Wednesday it had signed slotback Jordan Williams-Lambert to a one-year contract extension to keep him with the team through 2021. The 26-year-old could have become a free agent on Feb. 9.
Williams-Lambert enjoyed a successful first CFL season in 2018 alongside fellow rookie receivers Shaq Evans and Kyran Moore. Evans and Moore previously had re-signed with Saskatchewan this off-season.
Williams-Lambert was named the West Division’s most outstanding rookie that season with 764 yards and four touchdowns on a team-leading 62 receptions. He turned it into an opportunity with the NFL’s Chicago Bears.
The Illinois product returned to the Roughriders in September of 2019 after three pre-season games with the Bears. After returning, Williams-Lambert played in three games, recording five catches for 57 yards.
Before joining the Roughriders, Williams-Lambert signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent in May of 2016.
Williams-Lambert played four seasons at Ball State University, recording 200 receptions for 2,723 yards and 24 touchdowns over 44 games.
