The Saskatchewan Roughriders have re-signed American quarterback Jack Coan to a one-year contract extension for the 2026 CFL season.
The six-foot-three, 218-pound passer first joined the Roughriders as a free agent in 2024. He has since dressed for 23 regular-season games and completed 12-of-29 pass attempts for 138 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions.
The 27-year-old went unselected in the 2022 NFL Draft but was picked up by the Indianapolis Colts as a free agent. He was waived after training camp and signed with the San Antonio Brahmas of the XFL. In eight games, Coan connected on 62.0 percent of his passes for 1,403 yards, six touchdowns, and six interceptions.
The native of Sayville, N.Y. finished his collegiate career at Notre Dame, where he completed 65.5 percent of his passes for 3,150 yards, 25 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He led the team to an 11-2 record and had a record-setting performance in the Fiesta Bowl, throwing for 509 yards and five touchdowns in a loss to Oklahoma State.
Coan is one of four quarterback now under contract with Saskatchewan for 2026, a group that also includes Trevor Harris, Tommy Stevens, and Brayden Schager. Jake Maier, the team's incumbent backup, remains a pending free agent.
