Blue Bombers Re-Sign Future Hall of Famer Stanley Bryant

WINNIPEG, MB., January 26, 2026 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with future hall of fame left tackle, Stanley Bryant. He was scheduled to become a free agent in February.

Bryant (6-4, 313; East Carolina University; born: May 7, 1986, in Goldsboro, NC) returns in 2026 for his 11th season with the Blue Bombers and 16th in the Canadian Football League, including his days with the Calgary Stampeders (2010-14).

He is the most-decorated offensive lineman in CFL history, having been saluted as the league's Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman four times (2017, 2018, 2021, 2022).

Bryant is coming off a 2025 campaign in which he was again a steady and commanding presence at left tackle, helping running back Brady Oliveira rush for over 1,000 yards for a fourth straight season as the Blue Bombers offence finished second in the league in rushing yardage per game (124.1).

Bryant was also again named the Blue Bombers Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman in 2025 for the seventh time (2017-22, 2024-25).

Now 39, Bryant has suited up for 234 regular-season games during his CFL career, including 200 with the Blue Bombers – sixth most in franchise history – and has started every one of them. He is a three-time Grey Cup champion, having won in 2019 and 2021 with the Blue Bombers and in 2014 with the Stampeders.

To be expected. To everyone who thinks this is a great signing, I don't want to see you complaining when he gets beat by younger faster players.

Got to wait and see how he handles things. Just not sure this is a good signing but would love to be surprised.

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Westside or Eastside Wally???

Good Morning All! Now that I have officially retired and have decided to stay away from the "Excited States" I have time to ask some silly questions. Last night I had to watch an old episode of "Castle" - Daughter made me watch it and one of the characters was named Westside Wally. Does anyone remember a Bomber fan that use to post on this site or one of the older sites by that handle? I do go back a few years (Total CFL, Mookie's old site etc.)

Does anyone know if Colin Unger (Mookie) still posts? What happened to our old friend Nasty Nate?

Retirement is really nice!

Said Buono about AH33 in FA16.

BC offered Harris the same as we did. Harris chose us.

I'd rather get rid of players past their prime too early than too late anyway.

a bit bigger in dimensions

Nothing mentioned about that but the supports would likely need replacing to support a bigger board.

If in-game, and K.Wilson still here, then K.Wilson.  If Gauthier still here, Gauthier, maybe.  In a dire situation: Shay or Cadwall.

Nothing says we won't sign a decent MLB before week 1... We did in FA25 with J.Jones.

I don't think K. Wilson or Gauthier will be back. Yes we may find a rookie MLB type but then we have to get him on the roster as a DI. He'd have to replace someone.

An in game injury: depends on how much of the game remains and what impact the next man up causes. Ayers has been here the longest and I'd hope he can fill that need whether he starts at WIL or not. Being able to be an in game injury replacement would be an advantage.

That said he didn't seem to be a rotation player at either WIL or MLB.

Uh, don't we already have buckets of packages where Willie is off the field?  He hasn't been an every-down guy for a number of seasons.

None of them include another import DT or even DE. At best we have the global Munier Bailey that played the last game.

Lewis has already re-signed in Ottawa, and no way any ones paying White 275 k, but 200k isnt out of question for perennial 1000 yd receiver
