**Mercy Maston** (born November 10, 1992) is an American former professional [football](/source/Gridiron_football) [defensive back](/source/Defensive_back).

## Playing career

Maston started his CFL career with the [Edmonton Eskimos](/source/Edmonton_Eskimos) but was limited in playing time due to an Achilles injury.[2] Following two years with the Eskimos, Mercy was released in January 2019 and signed a futures contract with the [Philadelphia Eagles](/source/Philadelphia_Eagles), but was cut before playing an NFL game.[2] Following injuries to [Brandon Alexander](/source/Brandon_Alexander) and [Marcus Rios](/source/Marcus_Rios), the Blue Bombers needed help in the secondary and signed Maston in August 2019.[2] Maston helped the Blue Bombers win the [107th Grey Cup](/source/107th_Grey_Cup), defeating the [Hamilton Tiger-Cats](/source/Hamilton_Tiger-Cats) 33–12. Following the win, he signed an extension with Winnipeg through to the end of the [2020 season](/source/2020_Winnipeg_Blue_Bombers_season). However, the 2019 season would be the last time Maston would play in a regular season game during his career due to repeated injuries.[3]

After the CFL canceled the [2020 season](/source/2020_CFL_season) due to the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic), he chose to opt-out of his contract with the Blue Bombers on August 31, 2020.[4] He signed a one-year contract with the Blue Bombers on January 7, 2021.[5]

Maston suffered a season ending torn Achilles tendon in training camp and did not play with the team through the [2021 CFL season](/source/2021_CFL_season).[6] Following the season he signed an extension with the Bombers for the 2022 season, but would once again get injured in camp and miss the full regular season.[6]

On February 14, 2023, Maston became a free agent.[7]
