WINNIPEG, MB. - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has re-signed receiver Darvin Adams. A pending free agent, the agreement means Adams will remain in Winnipeg through the 2019 season.

"Darvin has continued to develop over the past two seasons, and in our view, is now one of the league's top-end targets," said Blue Bombers General Manager Kyle Walters. "He was having a great season last year before unfortunately suffering a tough injury, but we look forward to watching him build off of his season in 2017 and beyond."

"This was something I wanted to get completed, and not head into free agency," said Adams. "This is such a great organization, and for them to want me back, with the direction the team is going, that means a lot to me. I couldn't be happier to be remain a Bomber."

Adams recorded 61 receptions for 839 yards and a team-high six touchdowns grabs in 2015, his first season with Winnipeg. In four CFL seasons, his first two with Toronto, Adams has 133 receptions for 1,790 yards and 14 touchdowns in 35 career games.
