On September 9, 2013, Parenteau was traded to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, along with a 3rd round draft pick in 2014, in exchange for running back Anthony Woodson and a fifth round draft pick in 2014.[3] To focus on his growing real estate business he retired from the CFL after 9 years in January 2014 after winning 2 Grey Cups (2007 & 2012) and playing in over 130 CFL games. He is the only offensive lineman to ever score a touchdown in a Grey Cup game (2010).[citation needed] Before his CFL career, Marc was a 2 time All-Star (All Big East) lineman with the Boston College Eagles from 1999-2003.
