Canadian Football League champions keeping team together
The Toronto Argonauts signed former NFL lineman Bernard Williams to a contract extension on Monday.
The 6-foot-9, 290-pound Williams, a first round draft pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 1994, started 14 games for the Argonauts last season, including 13 at left tackle.
"Bernard really raised his level throughout the year in 2004," said Toronto offensive line coach Ken Miller. "He demonstrated great leadership ability, especially in the playoffs and in the Grey Cup; it rubbed off on the offensive line and the entire offense. Bernard is a premiere player and I'm pleased to have the chance to work with him for an extended period."
Williams played collegiately at Georgia.
