REGINA – The Saskatchewan Roughriders signed Canadian receiver Kian Schaffer-Baker to a two-year contract extension through the 2025 season on Wednesday.

Schaffer-Baker, of Mississauga, Ont., broke out as a sophomore last season with career-highs in receptions (68), receiving yards (960) and touchdowns (five). He ranked second among all Canadian wideouts in receiving yards.

The six-foot-four, 205-pound Schaffer-Baker also ranked 11th in the CFL with 412 yards gained after catch.

The 24-year-old was Saskatchewan’s nominee for Most Outstanding Canadian in 2022, one year after earning a nomination as the team’s Most Outstanding Rookie.

The Roughriders are looking to bounce back in 2023 after missing the playoffs last season with a 6-12 record.
