All three are pending free agents<\/a>.<\/p>\nCampbell and Benson expressed some doubts that they\u2019ll continue playing, whereas Hardrick is sure he doesn\u2019t want to hang him his cleats quite yet.<\/p>\n
Campbell, 33, sustained a broken forearm on Aug. 1 at Edmonton and missed eight games before returning Oct. 12 at Montreal. He was sidelined for five games last season with a broken jaw.<\/p>\n
\u201cInjuries definitely play a part,\u201d said Campbell, who had three pass knockdowns and 24 tackles this season. \u201cI\u2019m not going to lie about that, especially being my age in the league. Suffering back-to-back years of broken bones, it weighs heavy on me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m undecided right now. We\u2019ll make that decision in the offseason coming up here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Benson, 39, missed all but one game last season with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers due to injury. He figured that was it for his CFL career.<\/p>\n
The Riders signed him in June, just before their second game, after Aaron Crawford sustained a knee injury. Benson suited up in 17 games this season was an all-star at his position.<\/p>\n
His wife, Chantal, and their 5-year-old son being in Winnipeg will weigh heavily into the decision.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou spend five years at home, and you get to go back to your actual house. It\u2019s such a luxury that I definitely took for granted,\u201d Benson said. \u201cI was walking into the sunset after the 2025 season. This was all just bonus time for me. I was just so grateful for every experience I had here. If I\u2019m fortunate enough and lucky enough to be able to squeeze out another year, then that\u2019s incredible.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, the body has other thoughts. We\u2019ll have to go have a sidebar conversation later. If I\u2019m fortunate enough to have another opportunity to come back, this organization is top tier. I had an amazing experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hardrick, 36, appeared in 17 games and was part of an offensive line that surrendered 29 sacks during the regular season \u2013 second best in the CFL. He left no doubt he\u2019d like to continue playing football, and continue playing for the Riders.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy wife and kids want to be here. I want to be here,\u201d he said. \u201cHopefully, we can make it work. I\u2019ve just got to get better. I want to get better. There\u2019s some people I\u2019ve got to hit in this league.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be pissed off this offseason. Good things come when you\u2019re pissed off. It\u2019s time to get better. It\u2019s time to get back on with it. Whatever we got to do to get to the promised land. In 2027, (the Grey Cup) is here. I would love to do it here.
