The Saskatchewan Roughriders have just secured a major piece of their future. Logan Ferland—the Canadian offensive lineman who’s been a rock for that unit—has signed a two-year contract extension. That deal puts him in Regina through the 2027 season. For fans of the team, that’s a big win. It means they get to keep a cornerstone of their offense for years to come.
Why Logan Ferland Is a Game-Changer for the Roughriders?
Standing at six-foot-four and weighing 310 pounds, Ferland is a force to be reckoned with. Last season, he earned his place as a CFL all-star and won the West Division’s Outstanding Offensive Lineman award. He was the one who helped steady the ship when injuries forced 12 different players into the rotation.
Ferland played in all 18 regular-season games and both playoff contests. That kind of durability and reliability is hard to find. He can play multiple positions—right guard, right tackle and center—making him an incredibly valuable asset to the team. That versatility has been a game-changer for the Roughriders.
How Ferland Elevated the Roughriders’ Offense?
Ferland’s leadership and skill were the constants that kept Saskatchewan’s line together. Despite the shuffling along the offensive line, that stability paid off. The Roughriders allowed just 35 sacks—the fewest of any playoff-bound team. That protection allowed Ferland’s offense to really take off.
At the top of the West Division playoff teams in points scored was Saskatchewan—with 453 points. That’s a testament to the offense Ferland helped create. They scored 45 offensive touchdowns-45!-with 27 of those coming through the air. That kind of production is a direct result of Ferland’s ability to both protect the quarterback and open up the field.
That’s reflected in the team’s passer efficiency rating of 98.1-the highest among playoff contenders in the division. Ferland’s efforts were the driving force behind that high-powered offense.
A Homegrown Hero Stays Home
For Ferland, Saskatchewan is home. From Melfort, Sask. he’s a hometown hero who has delivered on the field. By signing him to an extension the Riders are investing in a player who is both talented and loyal.
“Logan is a big piece of our O-line and a leader in our locker room,” said Roughriders GM Randy Ambrosie. “He’s irreplaceable. We’re glad to have him for 2027.”
