This was announced by the Canadian Football League club on Monday.
“Consistency at quarterback is a key component to being successful as a CFL team, so we’re excited to keep Jeremiah Masoli at Rouge et Noir,” Shawn Burke, general manager, said in a statement.
“Jeremiah has proven himself as a leader on and off the pitch and makes us better as a team when he has the ball in his hands.”
Masoli had joined the Ottawa team ahead of the Ambrosie Circuit’s final season, having played for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for eight seasons.
In four games with the Rouge et Noir in 2022, the 34-year-old completed 84 of the 126 passes he attempted for 1,083 yards and two touchdowns. He was also the victim of two interceptions.
The American suffered a knee injury in the fifth week of action and was unable to play after that. He was the victim of a vicious hit by Saskatchewan Roughriders defenseman Garrett Marino. The latter had also been ruled out of the session and suspended for the next four games.
