Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/09/2015 (3843 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have agreed to terms with linebacker Ian Wild.
Wild was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers during training camp and after exhausting NFL opportunities signed with the Bombers.
The club has yet to make an official announcement but CFL sources confirmed the signing.
Wild was with the Blue Bombers for the 2013 and 2014 seasons collecting 142 tackles, 27 special teams tackles, four pass knockdowns, five forced fumbles, four sacks and six tackles for a loss in 23 games.
The Bombers also extended the contract of defensive back Bruce Johnson.
Johnson is in the second year and was set to become a free agent in February. He signed a three-year extension.
Johnson joined the Bombers in 2014 and has 91 defensive tackles, two interceptions, and one fumble recovery over 28 career starts.
“Bruce is a very key part of our defensive secondary,” said GM Kyle Walters. “He’s been extremely steady and reliable for us since he first stepped on the field last season. It was important for us to lock up a key piece of our defence moving forward, and we’re pleased Bruce also felt the desire to remain a Blue Bomber.”
