A future Hall of Famer entering his second decade as Winnipeg's blindside protector, Bryant is the last man standing on a remodelled offensive front. While the defence was gashed for a franchise-record 377 rushing yards against B.C., his primary job is keeping a banged-up Zach Collaros (ribs) upright. His practice workload is carefully rationed at this stage of his career, but the offence visibly loses its anchor whenever he rests. He remains the single most important blocker on a 4-4 team that just got embarrassed twice at home.
With the line in flux, Bryant's leadership is the only constant in front of Collaros. The Bombers need him on the field for every meaningful snap down the stretch, especially as Vanterpool adjusts to a new spot and the defence tries to recover from surrendering 377 rushing yards. Watch whether his presence can keep the pocket clean enough for Collaros to find rhythm—because the bye week won't fix a broken front without him.
Veteran deal in the $300,000 range — the club keeps paying him because he keeps protecting the blind side.
The veteran anchor and emotional centre of an O-line that lost Jarell Broxton to injury and forced Micah Vanterpool to shuffle from guard to right tackle.
