"The Winnipeg Blue Bombers signed defensive back Cameron McCutcheon on Thursday according to the CFL Transactions page.
Cameron McCutcheon is six foot one and weighs 204 pounds. The 25-year-old from Seneca, South Carolina, signed with the Los Angeles Rams as an undrafted free agent on May 15, 2023. In 2023, he made six tackles (3 solos, 3 assists) and three pass breakups in three preseason games. He spent the season on and off the practice squad.
The Rams re-signed him on January 15, 2024. In 2024, he made seven tackles (6 solos, 1 assist) and two pass breakups in three preseason games. The Rams released him on August 25, 2024. The Pittsburgh Steelers signed McCutcheon on January 21, 2025. In 2025, he played in one preseason game before he suffered a hamstring injury and was placed on injured reserve. The Steelers released him on September 9, 2025.
Collegiately, McCutcheon spent three seasons at Gardner-Webb University (2018-20) with 87 tackles (63 solos, 24 assists), one tackle for loss, one interception, seven pass breakups, and one forced fumble in 25 games for the Runnin' Bulldogs.

Pro Day results:
At his Pro Day (likely at Western Carolina), cornerback Cameron McCutcheon showed good size (6'1", 204 lbs, 33" arms) with decent speed (4.57 40-yard dash), fitting the mold for NFL long corners, though his time was considered slightly below average for the position; he highlighted his length and physical play, leading to interest from teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, who later signed him to future contracts, valuing his potential despite not yet debuting in a regular season game as of late 2025.

I like the sound of this one.
He has a dense body size. He may be a candidate for a a SAM or safety? Reportedly a physical player.

He has decent size, the downfall of Parker is going to be his lack of size.

I wouldnt neccessarily peg him onto those positions, what we need is a bigger cb who can play physical. Currently our dbs are amongst the smallest in the league.
He better make plays at the right time so we can call him McClutcheon.

Perhaps. He did get NFL opportunities as a CB. I'd like to know what his speed is and how good his footwork might be. At over 200 lbs he might not be suited to the bigger CFL field at CB as a pure coverage guy. In that sense I see him as a candidate closer to the LOS.

His chances of starting next season are thin, with so many DB's in the mix he'll have to be good just to survive his first year. If he's really good we might see him in his second.
Sounds like a beast!

We need some bodies for TC at the least. A lot depends on what happens with our potential free agents in the secondary. Some are suggesting we go younger etc and having nearly our entire secondary is still a TBD.

The only DB over 30 is Nichols at 31, age is not an issue but if he puts his hand out for $175k he might be replaced. Dexter Lawson was the DB chosen to fill in his HB spot in a game late last season so that says something, but I wonder if Griffin might also be capable of playing HB at 220 lb, adding an extra 40 lbs of beef to the secondary would be nice considering how often they have to take on RB's.

4.57. 40. Not bad speed.

He's 25. Age plus football mileage are two different factors. It will be awhile before we know what happens with players in our secondary currently on the roster.
Not many DB's last into their 30's. Cost, age, SMS and new players always being looked at. Obviously would be happy to get Nichols back, but until he re-signs it's a TBD.

Hard to know without seeing him but SAM may or may not be Canadian next year depending on what happens with Kramdi and so someone like this could be just the right fit depending on who we take to camp. Still predominantly a coverage role but sometimes closer to the LOS.

Can't see them going away from Cdn at sam especially with Smith likely to play a bigger role in his 2nd year. Plus I would think they would have thoughts about adding an import to the oline.
