There’s been speculation as to whether Saskatchewan Roughriders’ quarterback Trevor Harris will keep playing but he appeared to answer the question after his team arrived at the province’s legislative building to finish the 112th Grey Cup parade.

The 39-year-old QB took to the microphone on the front steps as the crowd chanted: ‘M-V-P! M-V-P! M-V-P!’ And then: ‘One more year! One more year! One more year!’

“I appreciate it, thank you guys so much for making this moment special, this is your moment as well. We’ve always had the best fans in the league and now we’ve got the best dang team in the league to match you guys,” Harris said.

“It’s been awesome. This is our fifth title, but something we’ve never done is go back-to-back, so let’s go ahead and start talking about that. Let’s run it back next year. Best coach in the league, best team in the league next year, man. We love ya’ll, this is for Rider Nation. It’s our time.”

Harris 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 over the Montreal Alouettes at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg and claimed his first three-down title as a starter.

There’s an argument to be made that Harris played the best football in his 13-year CFL career during the 2025 regular season. He completed 73.5 percent of his passes for 4,549 yards with 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 16 starts.

The Waldo, Ohio native missed one regular-season start due to a head injury and was rested in another after the team had already secured first place in the West Division, producing an 11-5 win-loss record.

The six-foot-three, 210-pound QB earned around $450,000 in 2025, fifth-highest paid at his position in the league, and his current contract expires in February. He and the Riders did not discuss a possible extension prior to the Grey Cup in Winnipeg, though there seems to be mutual interest in getting one done.

“Anytime you got Corey Mace, J.O., Kyle Carson and Larry Dean, you’re always going to have a chance at (going back-to-back). I’ll sit down with J.O. at some point probably this week. Then I’ll talk to my wife and go from there,” Harris said.

“It’s not a physical deterioration thing, I’ve said for a long time it won’t be because a physical reason (why I retire).”

Harris ranks 13th all-time in CFL history with 37,697 passing yards. He’s completed 71 percent of his passes with 204 touchdowns versus 95 interceptions and added 257 carries for 1,197 yards plus 11 majors. Through his CFL career, he’s compiled a 69-57-2 win-loss-tie record during the regular season.
