    (Edmonton) – The Edmonton Eskimo Football Club announce the signing of import defensive back Chris Thompson to a contract extension, keeping the six-year CFL veteran out of free agency next week. As per club policy, terms of the contract are not released.

    Last season, the six-foot, 199-pound product of Nicholls State started in all 18 regular season games and in the Eastern Semi-Final. He racked up 51 defensive tackles, six knockdowns, two forced fumbles and five interceptions for 84 yards. Since entering the league in 2007, he has amassed a career total of 264 tackles, two special teams tackles and 26 interceptions in 114 games. The New Orleans native is a two-time Division All-Star and two-time CFL All-Star.

    “Chris is a savvy veteran defender with remarkable character who does an exceptional job in the locker room,” says Eskimo Head Coach Kavis Reed.
    Hope, at the end of the day connects us all, no matter how different we are

    Nice, an important step in solidifying that secondary.

      Hervey does not MESS(am) around as GM. I like what he is doing.

              Solid signing. Excellent stuff! I hope that we sign Weldon before the deadline is up, but if he's got NFL aspirations we can't get in his way.

                Thompson is one of the CFL's best DBs and the Esks best. I am not surprised they found a way to sign him.

                    I've said it many times but its worth saying again. Damn it's nice that my team finally has a GM that flat out gets sh!t done. No fan fare. No bs. Just does his job.

                    Nice signing
                    Blindly accept whatever they do and if it doesn't work out, I guess there's always next year.

                        I'm not sayin...I'm just saying...if Weldon had any NFL dreams he sure kept them close to the chest because he sure made out like he wanted to stick around here all last year. Even after locker clean out it sounded like he'd be back.

                        Maybe things have changed, but I'd suspect that he'll be the next signing announced.

                          Solid signing though I hope he has a bounce back year. Thought he had a definite dropoff last season...

                            i`ve very surprised by this..

                            not the lack of talent on CT part.. just sheer numbers issue.. id be interested to know how they re worked his deal??

                            2+1 kinda seals him up for the rest of his pro career
