Saskatchewan Roughriders extend All-CFL guard Jacob Brammer

The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed American offensive lineman Jacob Brammer to a one-year contract extension. He was a pending free agent.

The six-foot-four, 301-pound blocker started 17 regular-season games at right guard in 2025, earning All-CFL honours. He was the league’s tenth-best guard, according to grading from Pro Football Focus, and part of an offensive line that allowed the second-fewest sacks during the regular-season (26). Saskatchewan didn’t allow any sacks during the playoffs.

The 26-year-old native of Richmond, Texas joined the Roughriders in 2024, playing five regular-season games as a CFL rookie.

Brammer finished his collegiate career at Vanderbilt University in 2022 when he made 11 starts at right tackle. He was previously named All-Conference during a five-year stint at the University of North Texas.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders finished first in the West Division standings in 2025 with a 12-6 record, finishing first in the West Division for the first time since 2019. The team went on to defeat the Montreal Alouettes in the 112th Grey Cup in Winnipeg, marking the team’s first championship in 12 years. Trevor Harris went 11-5 as a starter, throwing for 4,549 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.

The Roughriders ranked second in net offence, second in net defence, and tied for third with a turnover differential of plus-eight. The club’s leading rusher was A.J. Ouellette with 1,222 yards, leading receiver was KeeSean Johnson with 1,159 yards, and leading tackler was A.J. Allen with 91 tackles. Saskatchewan finished second in attendance with average crowds of 28,427, which was a 2.7 percent increase from the previous year.
