The BC Lions have re-signed National linebacker Isaiah Messam to a contract extension. Messam was eligible for free agency on February 11.
Messam (6’0, 220 lbs)- suited up in 14 regular season games in 2024, bringing his career total to 82 over six seasons. Playing a solid role on special teams with 52 tackles, Messam has added 38 defensive tackles and one sack since debuting in the 2018 season.
