No doubt Nic would re-sign, I guess there's no way to know if they used last year's leftover money on recent signings unless they say so.  Walters is next scheduled to address questions in about 6 months...

Demski is a good signing. Need Canadian receivers and even though he's no longer a young guy he'll carve out an effective role for the next few years for sure, even if that role changes a bit. Can't go wrong with this one I don't think.

Perfect. I do think there is a trade off in re-signing veterans to more than 1 year contracts. Weighing the duration based on age for Demski to only 2 years as an older player than the other Canadians re-signed.

Also noted Nichols as an older import turning 32 by TC. I wouldn't have complained for a longer deal but then it's a case of whether there is guaranteed money.

OK, Walters is earning his keep now..

Have to imagine a lot of these contain signing bonuses of 2025 cap money.

Demski was our MOP this year. Only guy who showed up this season.

I think that's a fair assessment about 2025 SMS money. Although there is no tax advantage for the Canadians so a signing bonus could be early 2026. However I think we had some SMS left and this is an advantage to lowering the 2026 SMS hit.

It will be interesting to see the value of the deal and I'd guess maybe $260K?

250-260,000 would be my guess, but who knows, maybe he insisted on Philpot dollars? It's a whole new world out there...

Holm, Castillo, and Vaughters, next.

Blue Bombers re-sign receiver Nic Demski to two-year contract

WINNIPEG, MB., Dec 18, 2025 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce that all-star receiver Nic Demski has signed a two-year contract extension through the 2027 Canadian Football League season. Demski had been scheduled to become a free agent in February.

Demski (5-11, 212; University of Manitoba; born December 14, 1993, in Winnipeg, MB) completed his third consecutive 1,000-yard receiving season in 2025, finishing with 67 receptions for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns.

His strong performance earned him a spot on the CFL West Division All-Star Team for the fifth straight year. Demski has led the Blue Bombers in receiving yards in each of the past two seasons. He now has 42 career receiving touchdowns and 494 career receptions for 6,285 yards, including his 2025 totals.

Demski has now moved into seventh place on the Bombers' all-time receiving yardage list with 6,285 yards. He also sits among the franchise's top scorers, with his 42 receiving touchdowns placing him high on the all-time list.

Originally selected by the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the first round, sixth overall, of the 2015 CFL Draft, Demski returned to his hometown as a free agent in 2018. He has since appeared in 152 regular-season games and five Grey Cups, winning championships with the Blue Bombers in 2019 and 2021.

A Winnipeg product who starred at both the University of Manitoba and Oak Park High School, Demski has twice been named the Blue Bombers' Most Outstanding Canadian (2021, 2022).
