He was already under contract for 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The six-foot-five, 326-pound blocker made regular-season 15 starts at left tackle in 2025, helping the Stampeders return to the playoffs. He also started in the West Semi-Final.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best offensive lines are those with continuity,\u201d said head coach and general manager Dave Dickenson in a statement. \u201cD\u2019Antne\u2019s extended commitment to the team is appreciated and I look forward to him being here for the next two seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The native of Brunswick, Ga. has played 38 regular-season games with Calgary since joining the team as a free agent in 2023. He originally began his CFL career with the Edmonton Elks in 2021, dressing for one regular-season game with the team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u201cI wanted to stay in Calgary because I love the city and the organization,\u201d said Demery. \u201cI want to be able to fight for a Grey Cup with my brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 28-year-old played collegiately at Florida International University.<\/p>\n<p>The Calgary Stampeders weren\u2019t very active in CFL free agency, though they signed former Toronto Argonauts receiver Dejon Brissett, who set a career-high with 907 receiving yards in 2025. The Stampeders didn\u2019t lose any free agents to other CFL teams but had three players sign in the NFL: receiver Damien Alford (New Orleans Saints), defensive lineman Jaylon Hutchings (Minnesota Vikings), and linebacker Jacob Roberts (Minnesota Vikings).<\/p>\n<p>The Stampeders hold the sixth overall pick in the 2026 CFL Draft, which is scheduled for Tuesday, April 28 at 7:00 p.m. EDT. All CFL training camps are scheduled to open on May 10. Calgary will play its first preseason game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Monday, May 18 and its first regular-season game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday, June 5.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, Calgary finished third in the West Division standings with an 11-7 record but lost the West Semi-Final to the B.C. Lions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo courtesy: Calgary Stampeders The Calgary Stampeders have signed American offensive lineman D\u2019Antne Demery to a contract extension&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":532309,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[166835,166836,49,2798,48,7028,521,522,520,208660,527,82,55630,166838],"class_list":["post-532308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-3down","tag-3downnation","tag-ca","tag-calgary","tag-canada","tag-canadian","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-dantne-demery","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-stampeders","tag-stamps"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/532308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=532308"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/532308\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/532309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=532308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=532308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=532308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
