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).

I like the sound of Peeples!

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?
