Offensive linebacker SirVincent Rogers has signed a one-day contract with the Ottawa Redblacks so he can retire as a member of the team.
The 35-year-old played four seasons in Ottawa from 2015-’18. He helped the Rooiswarts to a Gray Cup title in 2016.
He was named the league’s most outstanding lineout player in 2015 and a CFL all-star in 2015 and 2018.
Rogers first came to the CFL in 2013 as a free agent pickup from the Toronto Argonauts. He spent two years there before landing at Ottawa.
