Professional career

On May 8, 2023, Bonner signed with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League (CFL).[6] He began the 2023 season on the practice roster, but was elevated to the active roster as the third-string quarterback for the team's game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on August 19.[6][7] He dressed in the final nine games of the season, but did not record any statistics.[7]

Upon the signing of Matthew Shiltz to serve as the primary backup, Bonner began the 2024 season as the fourth-string quarterback.[8] However, after Shiltz was moved to the injured list, Bonner began dressing in week 7.[7] He saw his first game action in a blowout loss to the Ottawa Redblacks where he completed four of eight pass attempts for 61 yards.[7] After incumbent starter, Jake Maier, struggled in the Labour Day Classic and the team had a 4–7 record, Bonner was named the starter for the rematch game against the Edmonton Elks on September 7, 2024.[9] He was with the team in training camp in 2025, but was part of the final cuts on June 1, 2025.[10] Following an injury to P. J. Walker, Bonner was re-signed on September 22.[11]
