Calgary Stampeder re-sign Canadian offensive lineman Pierre Lavertu
CALGARY — Canadian offensive lineman Pierre Lavertu has re-signed with the Calgary Stampeders.
The 26-year-old from Quebec City was going to be eligible for free agency in February.
Calgary made Lavertu the first overall pick in the 2014 college draft.
Lavertu started 29 of his 41 games with the Stampeders over the past three seasons. A West Division all-star centre in 2015, he was part of a line that gave up a league-low 33 sacks.
