Saskatchewan Roughriders’ general manager Jeremy O’Day believes veteran quarterback Trevor Harris has more football in him.

The 39-year-old completed 23-of-27 passes (85.2 percent) for 302 yards to lead the Green and White to victory in the 112th Grey Cup. He earned CFL championship game MVP honours for his efforts in a 25-17 win.

Harris earned around $450,000 in 2025, and his contract expires in February. There’s been some speculation about the six-foot-three, 212-pound passer thinking about retirement, especially with a Grey Cup win as a starting QB now on his resume. However, O’Day wants to re-sign No. 7 and keep him playing for the Riders.

“I’m going to take 24 hours and then we’re going to start talking. I’d love to have Trevor back. We’re going to talk to Trevor to see what he wants,” O’Day told 3DownNation post-game amidst the celebration.

“I hope he comes back now. He’s going to go pray, he’s going to talk to his family, figure out what’s the best thing for him to do,” running back A.J. Ouellette said.

It did not seem as though Harris played his last game. People close to him were at the game in Winnipeg, his mom and dad, Suzanne and Tom Harris, brother Cody, wife Kalie, along with the couple’s four children, T.J., Trace, Tripp and Livian. Harris brought chairs on the podium so T.J. and Trace could join him at his press conference.

“I’m very past my bedtime, but I want to stay up because we just won the greatest… the thing that all CFL players dream of,” eight-year-old T.J. said.

“We are the champs,” five-year-old Trace said.

Dad officially became a champion as a QB1. Harris had two Grey Cups on his resume as a backup, 2012 with the Toronto Argonauts and 2016 with the Ottawa Redblacks. He lost his start in the 2018 Grey Cup to the Calgary Stampeders. He threw three interceptions in that game, but protected the football on Sunday night in Winnipeg.

“I think it’s something that the media is going to talk about, ‘He can’t win the big one.’ But I feel like I’ve done that my whole life, perform in big moments. I’ve had some bigger games in playoff games, but this was a total team effort,” Harris said.

Saskatchewan’s offensive line was outstanding in the 112th Grey Cup. Ouellette ran 17 times for 83 yards with one touchdown. Harris worked from mostly clean pockets on the turf at Princess Auto Stadium.

“I don’t think I took a single hit,” Harris said.” I could have not worn shoulder pads.”

That unit helped Harris become the fifth QB in franchise history to win a Grey Cup championship. He joins Ron Lancaster, Kent Austin, Kerry Joseph and Darian Durant as quarterbacks who have led the Roughriders to CFL championships. That’s an exclusive club, but the major question in Rider Nation will be: could No. 7 return to take a run at being the first QB to win two three-down league titles in Saskatchewan? Time will tell.
