That's good news!

I was hoping for a little bit more out of him this year, but I guess none of our DL performed statistically with how they were deployed.

Hopefully we see him take a big leap over these next couple of years.

Anyone have an idea of Approximately What percentage of plays the bombers actually rush only three?

How often does a linebacker or defensive back rush the passer?

Great re-signing, Lawson has a great motor and causes mucho disruptions.

I was confidant he'd be re-signed. I didn't think he'd be the 1st one, but that's only a moot point. Generally I think we'll see some of the other Canadians signed shortly as they are priorities.

Lawson has more upside after returning from his injury but I think our strategy needs to change to take advantage of further development.

Welcome back.

Great signing! Cameron Lawson. is a key signing of a 27 year old cdn dl who is getting better all the time. Glad to see Walters prioritizing younger key guys to more than one year contracts

[Pigskin]

I was happy he stay healthy this year after he lost all of 2024. 21 DTs, 1 QS, 1 FF. Good solid signing.

Blue Bombers sign Cam Lawson to two-year contract extension

WINNIPEG, MB., December 10, 2025 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed Canadian defensive tackle Cam Lawson to a two-year contract extension.

Lawson (6-3, 290; Queen's University; born: October 7, 1998, in Caledon, ON) will return in 2026 for his fourth season with the Blue
Bombers.

After suffered a season-ending knee injury in 2024, Lawson bounced back in 2025, dressing for 16 games (six of them starts) and registered 21 defensive tackles, one sack and one forced fumble.

Originally selected by the Montreal Alouettes in the second round, 16th overall, in the 2020 CFL Draft, he appeared in four games with the Alouettes in 2021 before being traded to Winnipeg on draft day in May of 2022 in a deal that saw the Blue Bombers send the 9th and 18th overall selections to Montreal for Lawson and the 13th overall selection.

Lawson has dressed for 53 career CFL games, four with the Alouettes and 49 with the Blue Bombers, and has 41 career defensive tackles, seven sacks, an interception, and a forced fumble.

He played his college ball at Queen's where he was a two-time OUA Second Team All Star in 2017 and 2018.

Probably the best defensive lineman on our roster in 2025 despite the system not putting them in a position to exceed individually.

I like it.
