  "account": "VANCOUVER - The B.C. Lions have signed Canadian defensive back Cristophe Beaulieu to a one-year extension, according to a Monday announcement.\n\nBeaulieu, representing Blainville, Quebec, was set to become a free agent at the conclusion of the current season. Standing at six feet two inches and weighing 195 pounds, the 6-foot-2, 195-pound athlete has contributed with 11 tackles (including one for loss) and a pass knockdown in three appearances this season.\n\nPrior to his knee injury that sidelined him until recent months, Beaulieu delivered a strong 2-25 campaign last year, amassing 36 defensive tackles, two interceptions, and a forced fumble in 14 games.\n\nThe one-year extension, with an annual fee of $205.00 plus GST, will automatically renew at $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks (equivalent to a 10% discount off the regular annual price of $259.35). This offer is available to both new and qualified returning subscribers, with the flexibility to cancel at any time.",
