On March 9, 2017, it was announced that McEwen had signed an extension through the 2019 season. ^[5] At the end of that year, he was named a CFL All-Star at centre.

In 2019, he was the Toronto Argonauts' Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman. ^[6] Over four seasons, he had played in all 72 regular season games as well as two post-season games, including a win in 105th Grey Cup game.
