Ticats sign linebacker Lawrence to extension

HAMILTON 芒鈧 The Hamilton Tiger-Cats signed all-star linebacker Simoni Lawrence to a contract extension Wednesday.

Lawrence's deal is through the 2018 season.

Lawrence, an East Division all-star for the third straight year, recorded a team-high 89 tackles in 17 starts last season. The six-foot-one, 228-pound linebacker finished fourth in the CFL in tackles and also had an interception return for a TD, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
