EDMONTON — The Edmonton Eskimos announced the extension of pending free agent offensive lineman Tony Washington, keeping him in Green and Gold through 2019, the club announced Wednesday.

An integral member of the Esks offensive line, he started at left tackle in 45 regular season games and four playoff games with Edmonton, including the 2015 Grey Cup championship victory.

Washington was traded to Edmonton in May 2014 and re-signed in December 2014.

Washington is the third pending free agent the Eskimos have extended this month, including offensive lineman Justin Sorensen and kicker Sean Whyte.
