The Ottawa Redblacks announced Friday they’ve signed long snapper Louis-Philippe Bourassa to a two-year contract extension and have agreed to a one-year deal with American running back Timothy Flanders. The 28-year-old Bourassa has spent his entire 50-game, three-year CFL career in Ottawa. “I’m excited to continue working with LP, he’s a not only an outstanding professional who performs consistently at a very high level and works tirelessly at his craft, but he’s also a great leader and teammate,” said Redblacks special teams co-ordinator Bob Dyce. “As I always say ‘it all starts with the snap’.”Flanders, out of Sam Houston State, had 96 carries for 541 yards over the past three seasons with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
