The Saskatchewan Roughriders and American Defensive Back Rolan Milligan Jr. have agreed to a one-year extension.
Milligan Jr. (5’11-200lbs), is now signed through the 2025 CFL season. Last season the 29-year-old played in four games before suffering a season-ending foot injury. He had 17 defensive tackles, three special teams tackles, two interceptions, two pass knockdowns and two tackles for loss.
In 2022, the Florida native enjoyed a breakout campaign in Saskatchewan. He recorded 71 defensive tackles, 11 special teams tackles, one sack, one interception, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and a team-high eight pass knockdowns (fifth in the CFL) over 17 games. He also ranked 10th in the CFL with 94 defensive plays that season.
Prior to joining the Roughriders, Milligan Jr. spent time in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, and Indianapolis Colts. During the 2018 season with the Colts, he played in 11 regular season games with the Colts, registering 15 tackles and dressing for one playoff game.
