The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed perennial all-star Stanley Bryant to a one-year contract extension, keeping him off the free-agent market next month.
The highly-decorated offensive lineman returns for an eighth season in Winnipeg, 13th in the CFL.
Bryant, 36, is coming off a season in which he won the league’s Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman Award for a record fourth time, all with the Bombers.
He was a CFL all-star for a seventh time, helping the Bombers to a franchise-record 15-3 regular season and a third consecutive trip to the Grey Cup, which they lost to Toronto.
Bryant joins fellow lineman Pat Neufeld, linebacker Adam Bighill, along with D-linemen Willie Jefferson and Jake Thomas as veterans to re-sign since the end of the season.
A native of Goldsboro, North Carolina, Bryant joined Winnipeg from Calgary in 2015.
He’s played 186 regular-season games, 120 of them for the Bombers, and won Grey Cups in 2019 and ’21 with Winnipeg, 2014 with the Stampeders.
