Slotback Adarius Bowman signs one-year contract extension with Edmonton Eskimos
EDMONTON — Adarius Bowman chose the comforts of home over potential free agency.
The veteran receiver signed a one-year contract extension Tuesday that will keep him with the Edmonton Eskimos through the 2018 season. A three-time CFL all-star, Bowman would’ve been a hot commodity on the free-agent market after the ’17 season but the Tennessee native feels Alberta is home now.
“Edmonton is my happy place right now so I try and stay here as much as possible,” Bowman told reporters. “It only makes sense, this is home for me now.”
The six-foot-three, 215-pound Bowman had a team-record 120 catches last year for a league-leading 1,759 yards with nine TDs. He added six receptions for 114 yards and two touchdowns in the playoffs.
