Bombers Sign Dime Back 27 Year Old Young Star For Two-Year Contract Extension
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers locked up one of their key young defensive players on Tuesday with the signing of Canadian cover linebacker Redha Kramdi.
The 26-year-old from Montreal played his way into a starting dime back role in 2023, taking over for American veteran Alden Darby midway through the season.

Kramdi, who could have become a free agent on Feb. 13, signed a two-year contract extension with the Bombers, who drafted him in the second round of the 2021 CFL Draft.
He made the team and got into seven games as a rookie in 2021, played 17 games in 2022 and really came into his own last season.
He has made 12 starts with the Bombers in the regular season, and started in the 2023 Grey Cup, a 28-24 loss to the Montreal Alouettes.
The Bombers have now signed three of their 36 potential free agents — Kramdi, offensive lineman Pat Neufeld and defensive end Willie Jefferson.
