WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers signed international receiver Darvin Adams and agreed to terms with Canadian linebacker Sam Hurl on Tuesday, the first day of CFL free agency.
Hurl, a Calgary native, had 36 tackles, two fumble recoveries and a sack last year with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
The six-foot-one, 225-pound Hurl spent three seasons at Saskatchewan, recording 41 tackles, 35 special-teams tackles, two sacks and two fumble recoveries.
Hurl had the distinction of becoming the first CFL free agent to come to terms Tuesday, doing so just over 90 minutes after becoming a free agent.
Shortly afterwards, the Bombers announced the addition of Adams. The six-foot-two, 182-pound receiver had 18 catches for 237 yards and a TD last season with the Toronto Argonauts.
Adams spent two years in Toronto, recording 21 receptions for 261 yards with two TDs.
