Bombers sign receiver Tim White

Tim White, a three-time All-CFL star with four straight 1,000-yard seasons, joins Winnipeg on a one-year deal after Hamilton released him ahead of CFL free agency.

  • On Jan. 29, 2026 the Winnipeg Blue Bombers signed All-CFL receiver Tim White to a one-year contract, making an early move before free agency opens.
  • Hamilton Tiger-Cats released White on Monday ahead of the Feb. 10 free-agency window after a mutual release last weekend.
  • A proven producer, Tim White, 31, has tallied 383 catches for 5,488 yards and 33 touchdowns in 83 regular-season games with Hamilton, including four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and three All-CFL selections.

White said, `Winnipeg really came in very kind of last minute, I really wasn't even expecting it,' Thursday.
  • White's one-year contract valued at $231,000 includes $225,000 in hard money and a $75,000 signing bonus, with White expecting to contribute to 2026.
