Veteran wide receiver Tim White has signed a one-year contract with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for the 2026 CFL season. The 31-year-old White is coming off a strong 2025 campaign with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, where he recorded 84 receptions for 1,016 yards and 7 touchdowns. He will now reunite with offensive coordinator Tommy Condell, who previously coached White in Hamilton.

Why it matters

White's signing adds an experienced and productive receiver to the Bombers' offense as they look to build on a 10-8 season in 2025 and make a deeper playoff run. His familiarity with Condell's system could help ease his transition to the new team. However, the Bombers will need to integrate White's skills with their existing receiving corps led by Nic Demski.

The details

White, who stands 5'9" and weighs 175 pounds, has spent the past five seasons with the Tiger-Cats, appearing in 83 regular-season games. During that time, he accumulated 383 receptions for 5,488 yards and 33 touchdowns, including four consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons. He was among the highest-paid receivers in the CFL last year, earning $224,800 in hard salary.

  • White was released by the Tiger-Cats as a pending free agent earlier this offseason.
  • He has signed a one-year deal with the Blue Bombers for the 2026 CFL season.
