Williams was Calgary\u2019s nominee for the league\u2019s Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman and received his first-ever West Division all-star recognition.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>\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":"The Calgary Stampeders have signed offensive lineman Zack Williams to a two-year contract extension through the 2028 season.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":606437,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-606436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606436","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=606436"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606436\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/606437"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=606436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=606436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=606436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
