Blue Bombers re-sign veteran guard Pat Neufeld
January 18, 2026

WINNIPEG, MB., January 18, 2026 –   The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has agreed to terms on a one-year extension with veteran right guard Pat Neufeld.

Neufeld was scheduled to become a free agent in February.

Neufeld (6-6, 300, University of Saskatchewan; born: December 26, 1988, in Regina, Sask.) returns in 2026 for his 12th season with the Blue Bombers and 15th in the Canadian Football League, including his days with the Saskatchewan Roughriders (2011-13).

A three-time CFL All-Star (2021-23), Neufeld started all 18 regular season games and the Eastern Semi-Final at right guard last year. He played a key role in an offence which helped running back Brady Oliveira post a fourth consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season while the attack finished second in the CFL in rushing yards per game at 124.1.

Originally drafted by the Roughriders in 2010, Neufeld was acquired by Winnipeg in a trade in 2013 and has become a fixture along the offensive line. He has played in 186 CFL games, including 149 with the Blue Bombers, and now makes Winnipeg home.

Neufeld has also been active in the community and was honoured in 2023 as the recipient of the Ed Kotowich 'Good Guy Award' for 'excellent football ability, is a leader in the locker room and shows outstanding effort in the community' and in 2021 was the winner of the club's Cal Murphy 'Heart of a Legend Award' presented annually to the player who has shown 'outstanding sportsmanship and dedication to the Canadian Football League and the community.'

Kyle has done a great job for a long time.  Patience, there is more coming.  While we struggled last year, that doesn't mean resigning our studs doesn't make us good.  We will find a few gems before camp and likely will do the same during.  Trust the mafia.  They know what they are doing.

I mean, he's re-signing players we already had (many at very top end salaries). He hasn't earned his salary until he does something that improves the team.

Not to say he won't do that come FA time, but so far we're just paying significantly more for the same players.

true enough there has also been a few free agents released from other teams that i would have liked to see him taken a run at ie Sayles and Hendrix, there arent a lot of defensive tackles available

You realize players don't HAVE to stay here,especially with our climate etc,  so him getting them to agree on a term is earning his salary.

Either way, great to see him back and avoiding the need to find a returner ( barring injury ). We'll still be looking for the back up as a skill set for a DB or receiver.

3DN article, basically gives the same info. as Ed Tait who was probably the source.

Oh darn, Bo goes to the Mets, 3 yrs for $126 M.

Not happy about this, but Bo is another player that is hurt far to often.

Understand that Pionk is on IR., for a short bit
This is a suggestion where Chevy might look
Moves likely won't be the big shaker but it's a start

Have no problem with considering Fetts to be used

I would okay moving Fetts, for a RW that can score, or a top 6 C.

JT heading back to the windy city tonight. Might be a emotional night for captain serious.

Riders extend CDN. receiver Kian Schaffer-Baker

Any estimates of salary?

Leftover Natl. receivers Tommy Nield and Picton, solid but unspectacular.

The problem with KSB he can't stay healthy. He's played in 57 games over the last 5 years.
