CALGARY \u2014 The Calgary Stampeders have signed offensive lineman Zack Williams<\/a> to a two-year contract extension through the 2028 season. He was previously under contract through the 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to continue to lock up our core players, and Zack is a big part of that group,\u201d said Stampeders general manager and head coach Dave Dickenson. \u201cI\u2019m excited to have him extended though 2028.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2025, Williams started all 18 regular season games at left guard for the Stamps as well as the Western Semi-Final. He helped pave the way for running back Dedrick Mills<\/a>\u2019 career-high 1,409 yards on the ground and first-ever CFL rushing title. Williams was Calgary\u2019s nominee for the league\u2019s Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman and received his first-ever West Division All-CFL recognition.<\/p>\n

Now entering his seventh season with the Stampeders, Williams has made 81 regular season appearances and suited up in four playoff matchups. He was originally selected by the team in the third round (28th overall) of the 2019 CFL Draft.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thankful and thrilled for the opportunity to extend with the Calgary Stampeders,\u201d said Williams. \u201cThere\u2019s a deep sense of pride and joy that comes with wearing this jersey and representing the White Horse. The love for the city, the team and my teammates is a blessing. Thank you to the entire organization and everyone who\u2019s played a role in helping me reach this point.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CALGARY \u2014 The Calgary Stampeders have signed offensive lineman Zack Williams to a two-year contract extension through the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":606329,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-606328","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-canadian-football-league","11":"tag-canadianfootballleague","12":"tag-cfl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606328","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=606328"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606328\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/606329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=606328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=606328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=606328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
