The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have released running back and returner Peyton Logan. He was due a $10,000 offseason roster bonus on January 15, sources have told 3DownNation.

The 27-year-old signed a two-year contract with Winnipeg in February worth around $110,000 per season. He suffered an injury early in training camp and dressed for only three regular-season games in 2025, recording one carry for minus-two yards, two catches for 10 yards, seven punt returns for 61 yards, and nine kickoff returns for 186 yards.

The native of Memphis, Tenn. started his CFL career with the Calgary Stampeders in 2022. Over three seasons with the team, he rushed for 889 yards, caught 42 passes for 274 yards, returned 69 kickoffs for 1,580 yards, returned 136 punts for 1,501 yards, and scored seven total touchdowns.

The five-foot-six, 190-pound speedster was a collegiate standout at the University of Tennessee at Martin, where he rushed for 2,513 yards, caught 86 passes for 727 yards, and scored 16 offensive touchdowns.

The Blue Bombers signed Logan to breathe life into a stagnant return game, though newcomer Trey Vaval ended up becoming a CFL sensation.

The 25-year-old was named the league’s Most Outstanding Rookie and Most Outstanding Special Teams Player after finishing first in punt return yards (957), missed field goal return yards (391), and kick return touchdowns (four). He also placed third in all-purpose yards (2,266) and fifth in kickoff return yards (918) for the 2025 season.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers finished fourth in the West Division standings in 2025 with a 10-8 record, qualifying for the playoffs as the crossover team before losing the East Semi-Final to the Montreal Alouettes. Zach Collaros threw for 3,048 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions over 13 regular-season games, going 6-7 as a starter.

The Blue Bombers ranked fifth in net offence, third in net defence, and eighth with a turnover differential of minus-eleven. The club’s leading rusher was Brady Oliveira with 1,163 yards, leading receiver was Nic Demski with 1,001 yards, and leading tackler was Tony Jones with 104 tackles. Winnipeg ranked first in attendance with average crowds of 32,343, which was a 3.7 percent increase from the previous year.
