OTTAWA — The Ottawa Redblacks signed veteran American punter Richie Leone to a one-year contract extension Tuesday.
He was scheduled to become a free agent next month.
The CFL club also signed Canadian defensive lineman Kene Onyeka and American defensive back Alijah McGhee to one-year extensions.
Leone, 32, posted a 48-yard average over 99 punts last season. His average was third-best in the CFL.
He also recorded 57 kickoffs, averaging 60.5 yards per attempt.
Leone enters his seventh CFL campaign with Ottawa. He began his CFL career with B.C. in 2015 before joining the Redblacks in 2018 and is a five-time league all-star.
Onyeka, 28, had 10 tackles, nine special-teams tackles and a sack in 12 regular-season games last season. McGhee, 25, appeared in 11 contests in 2024, recording 44 tackles, three interceptions, and a forced fumble.
