Former New Orleans Saints, Tulane linebacker earns contract extension with CFL team
The New Orleans Saints have had some very impressive undrafted free agents over the years, and whether they ended up panning out for them or for another team, seeing them succeed at the sport they love is always a nice feeling. One of the more notable pickups they had a few years ago was Tulane linebacker Nick Anderson, who they signed in 2023 but would not retain as a part of the final roster cuts. This would lead to an opportunity in the CFL for Anderson instead, who signed with the Edmonton Elks on March 11 the next year, and immediately made a name for himself there. In his first season with the team, he put together 111 defensive tackles, an interception, 3 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles. For this, he would receive the CFL Most Outstanding Rookie award, the Jackie Parker Trophy for most outstanding rookie in the West Division, and a CFL All-Star nod as well. Advertisement Not only that, but he has also earned an extension from the Elks through the 2026 season, as was reported in a recent team announcement. This will be an exceptional opportunity for the young linebacker to not only continue to improve but also to compete for the highly coveted Grey Cup with a rapidly improving team. His success has been extremely impressive to see through the first season of his professional career, and hopefully, as time goes on, he will prove to be one of the best at his position.
