WINNIPEG, MB - The Winnipeg Football Club made the following transactions today.
The football club signed non-import offensive lineman Lorne Plante and import linebacker Johnny Baldwin.
Plante (6-7, 305, Manitoba '06, DOB: May 13, 1983 in Winnipeg, MB) was signed as an undrafted free agent by B.C. in 2006, and spent the last three seasons with the Lions.
Baldwin (6-1, 230, Alabama A&M '07, DOB: April 1, 1984 in Bessemer, AL) was selected by the Detroit Lions in the fifth round of the 2007 NFL Draft.
"Johnny is an active and athletic linebacker that will increase competition at the weak-side and middle linebacker positions for the remainder of camp," said head coach Mike Kelly.
The Blue Bombers released import defensive end Keith Saunders, non-import offensive lineman Kyle Sleightholm, import kicker Bradley Pierson, import receiver Tyrone Timmons, and non-import lineman Don Amouzouvi.
