The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have re-signed star left tackle Stanley Bryant to a one-year contract for the 2026 season.
Bryant, who was set to become a free agent in February, returns for his 11th season with Winnipeg and 16th in the CFL. The 39-year-old is the most decorated offensive lineman in league history, having won the CFL’s Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman award four times.
He is coming off another strong season in 2025, anchoring the offensive line as running back Brady Oliveira rushed for more than 1,000 yards for a fourth straight year. Winnipeg finished second in the CFL in rushing offence.
Bryant was also named the Blue Bombers’ Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman for the seventh time in his career.
THE GREATEST LINEMAN OF ALL TIME IS BACK FOR ANOTHER YEAR
