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.

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.
