In 2025, the eight-year veteran's first season with the Red and White, Moncrief played and started all 18 regular-season games at the SAM position. He had 67 defensive tackles including a league-leading 12 tackles for loss, two interceptions including one that he returned 70 yards for a touchdown, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and six knockdowns. He was voted by teammates as the winner of the Presidents' Ring award for excellence on and off the field.

Moncrief started the Western Semi-Final and had one tackle.

"We're excited to bring back another piece of the core of our team," said Stampeders general manager and head coach Dave Dickenson. "Derrick is a great leader and he plays the game the right way."

"What an awesome blessing it is to be re-signing with this world-class organization and also working alongside great people," said Moncrief. "I'm excited for Year 2 and bringing a Grey Cup to Cowtown. Go Stamps!"

In 107 career regular-season contests for Calgary, Edmonton and Saskatchewan, Moncrief has 365 defensive tackles including 12 tackles for loss, nine special-teams stops, 11 sacks, 12 interceptions, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and 25 knockdowns.
