The Calgary Stampeders have re-signed Canadian offensive lineman Sean McEwen. He was slated to become a free agent next month.
“Sean is our leader on the offensive line,” said head coach and general manager Dave Dickenson in a statement. “He’s a durable guy we can count on and he’s motivated to win a championship. We’re happy to get him back.”
The six-foot-three, 299-pound blocker has been named a CFL all-star in each of the last three seasons. He was originally selected in the first round of the 2015 CFL Draft by the Toronto Argonauts and was named a CFL all-star with the team in 2017 along with being named the Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman in the East Division.
The 30-year-old native of Calgary signed with his hometown team as a free agent in 2020. He has played 115 career regular season CFL games along with five postseason games, winning a Grey Cup as a member of the Argonauts in 2017.
“I’m very excited to be back in Calgary this year and pumped to play with these guys again,” said McEwen. “I know the potential of this group and I’m looking forward to re-establishing a winning culture this season.”
CFL free agency is set to get underway on Tuesday, Feb. 13 at noon EST.
