REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed star Canadian defensive back Tevaughn Campbell to a one-year contract extension.

The 32-year-old from Toronto is coming off a strong 2025 season that saw him earn All-CFL honours while helping the Roughriders win a Grey Cup title.

Campbell finished last season tied for the league lead with six interceptions despite playing only 13 regular-season games.

He led the league in interception-return yards (205), the second-best total in Roughriders history. He tied a franchise record with a 112-yard interception return in a 34-30 win over Winnipeg on Aug. 31.

Campbell was selected by the Calgary Stampeders in the third round, 22nd overall, of the 2015 CFL draft.

He has appeared in 42 career CFL games with three teams, recording 53 defensive tackles, nine special teams tackles, one sack, two forced fumbles, four interceptions and scored three defensive touchdowns.

He spent six seasons in the NFL with the New York Jets, the Los Angeles Chargers, Las Vegas and Jacksonville before returning to the CFL in 2025.
