Playing career

Maston started his CFL career with the 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, but was cut before playing an NFL game.[2] Following injuries to Brandon Alexander and 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, defeating the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 33–12. Following the win, he signed an extension with Winnipeg through to the end of the 2020 season.[3] After the CFL canceled the 2020 season due to the 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.[6] Following the season he signed an extension with the Bombers for the 2022 season.[6] On February 14, 2023, Maston became a free agent.[7]
