Bombers re-sign Jefferson

Willie Jefferson isn’t going anywhere.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers re-signed their star defensive end on Thursday to a one-year contract extension. He was scheduled to become a free agent in February.

Jefferson, who initially joined the Bombers in 2019, registered 15 defensive tackles, three quarterback sacks, one forced fumble and a league-best 16 pass knockdowns in 2025.

His 16 knockdowns tied his own franchise record set in 2019 and is the third most in CFL history.

With Jefferson inked, that leaves left tackle Stanley Bryant as the biggest name on the club’s pending free agent list.
