He also played in the team's West Semi-Final loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers where he had two defensive tackles. Despite the strong season, he was not retained in 2019 as he was part of the team's final training camp cuts on June 7, 2019.[2]

Saskatchewan Roughriders
editGeter re-signed with the Roughriders on September 10, 2019.[5] He played in six of the team's seven remaining regular season games that year where he had nine defensive tackles, two special teams tackles, and three sacks. He also played in the West Final playoff game which was another loss to the Blue Bombers. At the end of the year, on December 26, 2019, he signed a contract extension through to the 2021 season with the team.[6] However, he did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the 2020 CFL season. On June 21, 2021, he announced his retirement from football in order to join the United States Air Force.[7]
