Blue Bombers Secure Demski’s Future: What’s Next for the CFL’s Star Receiver?
The CFL’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers have solidified their receiving corps with a two-year contract extension for star player Nic Demski. The 32-year-old, who was set to become a free agent in February, has agreed to stay with the team through the 2027 season.
Demski’s Impressive 2025 Campaign
In the 2025 regular season, Demski racked up an impressive 67 receptions for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns over 16 games. This marked his third consecutive 1,000-yard season and earned him a fifth-straight All-West Division selection. The five-foot-eleven, 212-pound target has been a reliable force for the Blue Bombers since joining the team in 2018.
Demski’s impact extends beyond his receiving stats. He’s also contributed on the ground, rushing 136 times for 897 yards in his career. With 494 receptions for 6,285 yards and 47 total touchdowns in 152 regular-season games, Demski has established himself as one of the CFL’s premier playmakers.
From Free Agency to Grey Cups
Originally drafted by the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2015, Demski joined the Blue Bombers as a free agent in 2018. Since then, he’s won two Grey Cups and was named the CFL’s Most Valuable Canadian in the 2021 championship game. His collegiate career at the University of Manitoba was equally decorated, with two-time All-Canadian honors at receiver and returner.
Blue Bombers’ 2025 Season in Review
Despite finishing fourth in the West Division with a 10-8 record, the Blue Bombers qualified for the playoffs as the crossover team. Quarterback Zach Collaros threw for 3,048 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions over 13 games, going 6-7 as a starter.
The team ranked fifth in net offence, third in net defence, and eighth in turnover differential with a minus-eleven. Leading the team in rushing was Brady Oliveira with 1,163 yards, while Demski was the leading receiver with 1,001 yards. Defensive back Tony Jones topped the tackles with 104. Despite a playoff loss, Winnipeg ranked first in attendance with average crowds of 32,343, a 3.7 percent increase from the previous year.
Nic Demski is one of only five receivers in CFL history to record three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. The others are Weston Dressler, Milt Stegall, Geroy Simon, and Diontae Spencer.
