Whoever is lining up at quarterback next season for the Calgary Stampeders, they’re going to be well-protected.

The Stamps have spent the last week re-signing members of an offensive line that allowed the fewest sacks of any team in the CFL last year, and on Friday they added centre Ucambre Williams to the list of potential free agents who will be sticking around in 2019.

Already this week, the Stamps have re-upped starters Brad Erdos and Shane Bergman, while starting right tackle Derek Dennis is on the books for next year, along with Justin Renfrow, Ryan Sceviour, Nila Kasitati and Justin Lawrence.

Right tackle Randy Richards is the only regular starter from last season who hasn’t re-signed a contract for next year, so the Stamps do appear to be in good shape.

Of course, with the CFL’s free agency period set to open on Feb. 12, there are lots of question marks around McMahon Stadium – this is true everywhere in the CFL, and likely will be until the collective bargaining agreement is signed in the spring.
