The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed
free agent receiver Adarius Bowman to a one-year contract.
The 6’3, 220 lbs Oklahoma State product has spent the past
seven seasons in Edmonton, consistently being one of the league’s most dangerous
receivers. He recorded over 1,000 yards receiving in four of those seven
seasons, including leading the CFL in yardage (1,761), receptions (120) and
targets (168) in 2016.
The Edmonton fan favorite was is a three-time CFL All-Star
and three-time Division All-Star, and was honored with the 2017 Tom Pate
Memorial Award, given to a player who has made a ‘significant contribution to
his team, his community and association.’
“Adarius will certainly add another level of playmaking
ability to our offence,” said General Manager, Kyle Walters. “He has grown
tremendously both on and off the field over his years in the CFL, and we’re
excited to re-unite him with Matt Nichols and watch him work with our receivers
in 2018.”
Bowman has played in 124 career regular season games,
tallying 653 receptions, 9,024 yards, and 48 touchdowns. He has also recorded
40 receptions for 622 yards and six touchdowns in postseason play, while also
registering four receptions for 173 yards and a touchdown in a Grey Cup victory
in 2015.
He is one of only ten players to ever record at least three
200-plus yard receiving games, and since 2008 he is first in second down
reception conversions with 206. Over his career, Bowman has recorded 62
receptions of over 30 yards and has 36 100-yard receiving games.
