WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has inked pending free agent offensive lineman Jace Daniels to a two-year contract extension. Daniels was eligible for free agency this upcoming February.
He is entering his third season with Blue and Gold, where he first saw action as a starter in October of 2014. Daniels played three games that season, all starts, and returned as a starter in 2015. He played in seven games, starting six, before suffering a season ending leg injury in August.
“Jace was a solid contributor along the offensive line for us before being injured last season,” said General Manager Kyle Walters. “He will be fully ready to go for training camp, and we envision him definitely competing for a starting spot on the line again in 2016.”
