BREAKING: Three-Time Grey Cup Champion Stanley Bryant Signs Contract Extension with Blue Bombers Through 2026
Winnipeg, MB — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have officially locked down one of their cornerstone players, as veteran offensive lineman Stanley Bryant has signed a contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2026 CFL season.
Bryant, a three-time Grey Cup champion, has been a dominant force in the Canadian Football League for over a decade. He earned his championship rings in 2014 with the Calgary Stampeders, and later helped lead the Blue Bombers to back-to-back Grey Cup victories in 2019 and 2021, solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest offensive linemen in CFL history.
The 38-year-old has been a fixture on Winnipeg’s offensive line since joining the team in 2015. Over his tenure, he has earned multiple CFL All-Star and CFL Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman honors, becoming a leader both on and off the field. Known for his durability, discipline, and exceptional pass protection, Bryant continues to play at an elite level even as he enters the twilight years of his career.
In a statement, Blue Bombers General Manager Kyle Walters praised Bryant’s continued excellence and leadership:
> “Stanley is not only one of the best to ever play the position, but he’s also a role model in our locker room and a pillar of our team culture. Securing him through 2026 is a big win for our organization.”
The contract extension ensures continuity for Winnipeg’s offensive unit as the team continues its pursuit of another championship. Bryant expressed his gratitude and excitement about staying in Winnipeg:
> “This city and this team mean everything to me. I’m proud to wear the Blue & Gold, and I look forward to finishing my career here and hopefully bringing home another Grey Cup or two.”
With this extension, Stanley Bryant not only cements his legacy as a Blue Bomber legend but also signals that he’s far from finished. Fans can expect to see No. 66 anchoring the line for at least two more seasons as Winnipeg eyes another title run.
