According to TSN's Matthew Scianitti, Ellingson will earn $210,000 per season.
Ellingson finished last season with 76 receptions for 1,260 yards and four touchdowns in the regular season, before helping the Redblacks win the Grey Cup.
“Greg is an integral part of our offence and we’re very pleased to have a player of his caliber, experience and character in the Redblacks organization for another two years,” GM Marcel Desjardins said in a team release. “Trevor and Greg have a good relationship and this continuity will only benefit our offence.”
