Quiet as a church mouse in the opening hours of free agency, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers unleashed a roar on the second day of the annual talent grab that could be heard across the Canadian Football League.
Vowing to be spectators on the eve of the market opening after concentrating on locking up much of the core from the 2019 Grey Cup team, the Bombers reversed course and landed a marquee receiver in Bryant Mitchell on Day 2, inking the game-changing playmaker to a one-year contract. And, interestingly, the new alliance began with a playful tweet he sent out, and then an inquiry from the Bombers as he quickly became a target for the club

Kyle Walters doesn t expect to be a major player in CFL free agency.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers GM s focus this off-season has been re-signing key members of the franchise s 2019 Grey Cup-winning team.
After getting key pieces like running back Andrew Harris, offensive linemen Stanley Bryant, Jermarcus Hardrick and Canadian Geoff Gray and defensive lineman Jackson Jeffcoat under contract before they hit free agency, Walters doesn t have room left in his budget to make a huge splash when free agency opens at noon ET on Tuesday.
WINNIPEG With CFL free agency opening Tuesday, the general manager of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Kyle Walters, is warning fans not to expect a frenzy. “It’s going to be pretty quiet for us tomorrow,” Walters told reporters over a conference call, Monday. “In free agency past, we’d be in my office working the phones with two or three phones on the go trying to find guys, follow along and try to fill holes in your roster and spending and adding and all that sort of stuff.” COVID-19 continues to cast a lot of uncertainty over the league and the possibility of a season this summer. However Walters has been busy restructuring and extending contracts to retain a number of key players over the past few weeks, like quarterback Zach Collaros, linebacker Adam Bighill along with running back and 2019 Grey Cup MVP Andrew Harris, to name a few.
After getting key pieces like running back Andrew Harris, offensive linemen Stanley Bryant, Jermarcus Hardrick and Canadian Geoff Gray and defensive lineman Jackson Jeffcoat under contract before they hit free agency, Walters doesn t have room left in his budget to make a huge splash when free agency opens at noon ET on Tuesday. No, it s going to be pretty quiet for sure for us, Walters said Monday during a conference call. This off-season we ve really focused on trying to bring the main core back . . . once we were able to do that, there s just not a lot of money left to be spending.
