The Winnipeg Blue Bombers released 25 players and assigned 13 others to the practice roster on Saturday to get down to a league-mandated 45-man roster by 10 p.m. CT.

Saturday was the deadline for all CFL teams to reduce their roster to the 46 man limit plus the 12 man practice squad. For the Edmonton Eskimos, that meant saying goodbye to 24 players.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers made their final cuts ahead of Saturday night’s roster cut down deadline.
