The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have agreed to terms on a one-year extension with left tackle Stanley Bryant. The 37-year-old Goldsboro, North Carolina native returns in 2024 for his 9th season with the Blue Bombers and 14th in the Canadian Football League. 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) and a seven-time CFL All-Star. Bryant began his career with the Calgary 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 six times (2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022). Over the course of his CFL career, Bryant has suited up for 203 games – including 170 with the Blue Bombers – and has started in all of them.
