Title: Bombers add 2
Post by: VictorRomano on January 21, 2026, 10:29:47 PM
According to CFL's transactions page, the Bombers have signed DL Warren Peeples (6'2", 230#, Southeast Louisiana, had signed with the Buccaneers as an LB in 2025) and DB Warren Burrell (6'0", 195#, Tennesee/Georgia Tech).

6'2 230 lb DE with limited production... we will see. Our ends should be bigger imo

Similar build to Person and Bailey, speed rushers keep trending smaller.

"229 lbs The speedy defender ran a 4.50 time in the 40-yard dash "

I recall him wrecking a lot of plays.

They have good scouting.

He was a great find by them. The last time we scouted a good DE and brought them to the league was in 2017 with Jeffcoat. You could argue it was not a position of need for while, with Jefferson and Jeffcoat, but it definitely is currently. Maybe the 2 new guys will turn into something?

And what did either of those players do?

They let Person expire on the PR but they hung onto Bailey even though he only played in one late season game, his Global designation probably helped preserve him.
