More Extentions!

BC Lions added another off-season signing Monday, by inking defensive back Korey Banks to a contract extension until the 2011 season.Now entering his sixth pro season, Banks has recorded 192 tackles (141 as a Lion) and 27 interceptions (17 as a Lion). Along the way, Banks has earned West Division All-Star status three consecutive seasons (’06-‘08) and was a CFL All-Star for the second time in his career in 2007. “Korey is another key part of our consistency on defence and a player we look to for big plays,” said Lions GM and head coach Wally Buono. “These recent signings are aimed at securing core players we feel will make us very competitive this year and seasons ahead.” Wally Buono also said that there is an offer on the table for quarterback Buck Pierce.
