Harris signed a one-year extension on Friday to remain in Saskatchewan through the 2025 CFL season
Harris will return for his third season in Saskatchewan after being named a West Division all-star last season despite missing six games with a knee injury. In 11 starts last year, Harris completed 260 of 359 passes for 3,264 yards, 20 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He registered seven wins and four losses in his starts while helping the Riders to a second-place finish in the CFL’s West Division with a 9-8-1 record.
Harris then guided the Roughriders to a win over the B.C. Lions in the Western semifinal before losing to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the West final.
In 172 career games since breaking into the league with the Toronto Argonauts in 2012, the Ohio native has thrown for 33,148 yards, 180 touchdowns and 84 interceptions. He previously joined the Roughriders during free agency in 2023 after spending the 2022 season and part of the 2021 season with the Montreal Alouettes following a trade from the Edmonton Elks.
The 6-foot-3, 212-pounder expressed his desire to be back in Saskatchewan for 2025 and appears to have been granted his wish. He was among 15 quarterbacks from across the CFL who are without contracts for next season including Tre Ford and Jake Maier.
Jack Coan and Michael Hiers are the other two quarterbacks under contract with Saskatchewan for next season while last year’s backup Shea Patterson is currently without a contract for 2025.
