BC Lions: Contract Extension Mathieu Betts

Posted on by

BC Lions made a signing that can help them with amazing defensive stops.

The BC Lions announced that national defensive lineman Mathieu Betts has signed a one year contract extension with the BC lions.

Which hearing this is amazing news because Mathieu Betts is one heck of a defensive player and for Lions to able to get a one year contract with him is very good to hear.

Which the crazy part was though in this is that Betts was actually eligible to become an free agent from the following of the 2026 campaign.

And by quote Mathieu Betts said that “I’m very excited and proud to remain a lion for the foreseeable future” and that was said by Betts on inking his new deal with the BC lions.

And the beginning of Mathieu Betts career he was drafted by the Edmonton Elks in the 2019 CFL draft and joined the lions as a free agent ahead of 2022 and he quickly became as one of the best pass rushers in 2023. The Montreal native even said that they enjoyed his breakout campaign from recording a franchise record of 18 sacks made, 44 defensive tackles, three tackles for loss and even three forced fumbles.

Like just by what I see this guy is just an insane player like I said he is such a talented defensive player.

Later in his career he even capped off the year by earning his first ever CFL Most Outstanding defensive player and he even parlayed that talent into a contract with the Detroit Lions but after his release from his training camp he went back the British Columbia and racked an outstanding 13 tackles a pair of some sacks and he also got a  pick 6 in the final seven games he played in his 2024 career in the CFL.

Betts made history on the 2025 season becoming the first ever Canadian to win the most outstanding Defensive player for the second time after leading the league in his 15 sacks and creating 42 tackles. and during his progress in the CFL he also became the first ever player in over these three decades to complete 9 sacks across a three game span like wow very very impressive.

Mathieu Betts is a one in kind Canadian player to play in the CFL I am looking forward into seeing him come with amazing defensive tackles and sack hopefully i get to see a pick 6 out of him because that would be amazing to watch.
