The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed veteran defensive back Evan Holm to a two-year contract extension that will keep him with the team through 2027. He was previously scheduled to become a free agent on February 10.
Holm started all 18 regular-season games and the Eastern Semi-Final at halfback in 2025. He was named to All-CFL and West Division all-star teams in 2025 after finishing with 55 defensive tackles, six special teams tackles, two forced fumbles and a team-high four interceptions.
The 27-year-old is entering his fifth year with the Blue Bombers and has not missed a single contest since 2023, playing 63 games. He has amassed 225 defensive tackles, 17 special teams tackles, two sacks, two forced fumbles, and seven interceptions.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers finished fourth in the West Division standings in 2025 with a 10-8 record, qualifying for the playoffs as the crossover team before losing the East Semi-Final to the Montreal Alouettes. Zach Collaros threw for 3,048 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions over 13 regular-season games, going 6-7 as a starter.
The Blue Bombers ranked fifth in net offence, third in net defence, and eighth with a turnover differential of minus-eleven. The club’s leading rusher was Brady Oliveira with 1,163 yards, the leading receiver was Nic Demski with 1,001 yards, and the leading tackler was Tony Jones with 104 tackles. Winnipeg ranked first in attendance with average crowds of 32,343, which was a 3.7 percent increase from the previous year.
