The club announced Thursday that it has agreed to terms with defensive tackle Jake Thomas, who currently sits fifth in all-time longevity in blue and gold.
The 13-year veteran, originally selected by the Bombers in the 2012 CFL draft, hasn’t missed a game for seven seasons in a row, the team said.

He was set to become a free agent next month.
