The Saskatchewan Roughriders have moved to strengthen their defensive front, announcing the re-signing of defensive lineman Kendy Charles. The team confirmed the deal on December 1, 2025, bringing back a familiar face to don the green and white jersey number 97 for the upcoming campaign.
Securing the Defensive Front
This move signals the Riders' intent to maintain continuity and strength along their defensive line. Kendy Charles, known for his presence on the field, is set to return to the lineup, providing experience and skill to the team's defensive strategies. The re-signing is a key piece of off-season roster management as the club prepares for the 2025 Canadian Football League season.
Building for the Future
Retaining core players is crucial for any team's success, and bringing back Charles fits into that philosophy. His familiarity with the Riders' system and coaching staff should allow for a seamless integration into the team's defensive schemes from the start of training camp. This transaction is one of many that will shape the roster before the team hits the field next season.
What This Means for the Riders
The return of Kendy Charles adds depth and competition to the defensive line unit. It provides the coaching staff with a reliable option who understands the demands of the CFL game. As the off-season continues, fans can expect further announcements as the Saskatchewan Roughriders finalize their team for what they hope will be a successful 2025 campaign, aiming to bring the Grey Cup back to Regina.
