The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed receiver Ontaria Wilson to a two-year contract extension through 2028. He was already under contract for 2026.
The six-foot-one, 175-pound target attended training camp with the New York Jets earlier this year but signed back with Winnipeg following his release. Wilson dressed for six regular-season games to end the year and made 21 catches for 382 yards and three touchdowns. He also caught three passes for 66 yards and one score in the team’s East Semi-Final loss to the Montreal Alouettes.
The native of Ashburn, Ga. first signed with the Blue Bombers in 2024 when he recorded 71 receptions for 1,026 yards and three touchdowns. He was named the team’s Most Outstanding Rookie but did not receive the divisional nomination.
The 26-year-old played collegiately at Florida State University from 2018 to 2022, making 108 receptions for 1,521 yards and 12 touchdowns. He signed with the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2023 but was released after training camp.
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.
