The Edmonton Eskimos have extended American defensive lineman Mike Moore, keeping him in Green and Gold through the 2021 season. Moore was set to become a free agent in February.
“Mike Moore is a versatile all-star who can play multiple positions across the defensive line and we’re excited to have him stay in Edmonton for two more years. As great as he played last season, we feel he still has room to grow and the sky is the limit with him,” Brock Sunderland, Eskimos general manager and vice president of football operations.
Last season, Moore was named a division All-Star for the first time after recording 23 defensive tackles, nine quarterback sacks and two fumble recoveries in 17 games.
Moore entered the league in 2016 with the Ottawa RedBlacks. The following season, he signed with the Edmonton Eskimos as a free agent.
“My family and I are happy to be here and somewhere we are loved,” says Moore.
In four seasons, Moore has appeared in 37 games, recording 50 defensive tackles and 15 quarterback sacks.
