The Winnipeg Blue Bombers' potential 2025 free agent list
By John Hodge -November 19, 2024

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers suffered a heartbreaking Grey Cup loss for the third straight year, dropping a 41-24 decision to the Toronto Argonauts.

The veteran-laden roster has some key players under contract for next season, including franchise quarterback Zach Collaros and star running back Brady Oliveira, but 29 players are currently slated to become free agents in February.

Please note that "N" denotes nationals otherwise known as Canadians, "A" denotes Americans, and "G" denotes Globals.

Bryant, the club's future Hall of Fame left tackle, told the media on Tuesday that he plans to play again next year. The native of Goldsboro, N.C., who was named All-CFL for the eighth time in his career this season, will turn 39 in May.

"I can't go out like that," he said. "This year was just very disappointing, I could say embarrassing how it happened. To get through all the adversity we went through this year — 0-4, 2-6, going on the road — and then getting back to the Grey Cup, and then the things that happened and how the score looked, I just feel like that's not something that I can settle with and not try to compete and get back to it and win it."

Streveler, Schoen, and Bighill, all of whom suffered torn ACLs this season, indicated they're planning to play in 2025.

"I'd love to be back here, I love it here," said Streveler, who is expecting a baby in January with his girlfriend, Taylor Anderson. "I think everyone knows how much I love this place. I love the culture, I love the guys in this locker room. I'd love to be back here."

Schoen is hoping to be back to 100 percent at least a month before training camp gets underway. He's optimistic that the injury won't hurt him too badly in free agency, saying that'll be "between the team or potential teams and my agent."

Bighill, who lives in Winnipeg year-round, wouldn't provide a firm timeline for his return but indicated he could be back sometime around May. He also said he hasn't given "too much thought into" exploring free agency because he's assuming he'll get a deal done to return for a seventh season with the Blue Bombers.

Neufeld
also said he has "full intentions" of being back in Winnipeg next season as a player, though he has yet to communicate that to head coach Mike O'Shea and general manager Kyle Walters.

Blue Bombers re-sign kicker Sergio Castillo
November 21, 2024

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has re-signed veteran kicker Sergio Castillo to a one-year contract.

He was scheduled to become a free agent in February of 2025.

Castillo (5-9, 197; West Texas A&M; born: November 1, 1990, in La Joya, TX) returns to the club after serving as the club's placekicker since 2023.

The 34-year-old is in his third stint with the Blue Bombers where he began his Canadian Football League career in 2015 and returning in 2021 via trade. He then signed in Edmonton in 2022 before rejoining the club in 2023 as a free agent.

Castillo was named the Blue Bombers Most Outstanding Special Teams Player for a second consecutive season in 2024 after connecting on 79.7 percent of his field goals (51-of-64), and hitting on 38-of-39 converts.

His 51 successful field goals – third highest in Blue Bombers history — came from an average distance of 37.1 yards and the average attempt from 39.2 yards – both league-highs. He also established a new CFL record with 11 field goals of 50 yards or more, including two makes from 60 yard – breaking the previous team record of 58, first set by Bernie Ruoff in 1975 and tied by Justin Medlock in 2016.

Blue Bombers agree to terms with All-CFL left tackle Stanley Bryant
December 2, 2024

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the Club has agreed to terms on a one-year extension with future hall of fame left tackle, Stanley Bryant, who was scheduled to become a free agent in February.

Bryant (6-5, 319, East Carolina University; born: May 7, 1986, in Goldsboro, N.C.) returns in 2025 for his 10th season with the Blue Bombers and 15th in the Canadian Football League, including his days with the Calgary Stampeders (2010-14).

The most-decorated offensive lineman in Canadian Football League history, Bryant is a four-time winner of the CFL Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman Award (2017, 2018, 2021, 2022).

Bryant was steady again in 2024 and was named to the All-CFL Team for an eighth time (2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2024) while manning the left side of an offensive line that helped running back Brady Oliveira capture his second consecutive rushing title with 1,353 yards, and quarterback Collaros throw for a career-best 4,336 yards.

Bryant began his CFL career with the Stampeders in 2010 and was twice named that club's top offensive lineman. He signed with the Blue Bombers as a free agent in 2015 and has been honoured as the team's Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman seven times (2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2024).

Over the course of his CFL career, Bryant has suited up for 219 games – including 186 with the Blue Bombers – and has started in all 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.
