Dressler has played six seasons with the Roughriders, topping the 1,000-yard receiving mark five times and being named a CFL All-Star twice. He also was the CFL’s rookie of the year in 2008 and won a Grey Cup championship with the team last year.

Dressler is third in franchise history with 442 receptions and 6,536 yards.

Terms of his latest contract with the team were not released.
