Winnipeg Blue Bombers sign 9 players after locking up general manager

Winnipeg Blue Bombers general manager Kyle Walters got right to work after signing a two-year contract extension earlier on Tuesday.

Just hours later, the Bombers announced the signings of nine players, including five Americans and four national players.

The Bombers inked quarterback Terry Wilson Jr., receivers Bryce Mitchell and Ontaria Wilson, defensive end Nate Givhan, and defensive tackle Jamal Woods.

The club also signed four of their draft choices who had previously returned to school. Manitoba Bisons defensive tackle Collin Kornelson, running back Jonathan Rosery (Alberta Golden Bears), defensive back Bret MacDougall (Windsor Lancers), and linebacker Max Charbonneau (Ottawa Gee-Gees) all have new contracts.
