TrueBlue Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 WINNIPEG, MB – Winnipeg Blue Bombers General Manager Kyle Walters today announces the club has agreed to a contract extension with defensive back Chris Randle. Randle is entering his third season with Winnipeg, and fifth in the Canadian Football League. He amassed 37 tackles, seven special teams tackles, one interception, and one sack in ten games last season, before suffering a season ending knee injury. In four CFL seasons (59 career games), he’s accumulated 148 defensive tackles, 44 special teams tackles, two sacks, eight interceptions (two returned for touchdowns) and two fumble recoveries. “Chris Randle is one of our most valuable players, on either side of the football,” said General Manager Kyle Walters. “What he brings to the football field, his intensity, athleticism and skill, along with the intangibles that he carries inside our locker room, all of those are hard to find in one individual. He’s a key piece of our organization moving forward, and extending his contract is very key for us.” Randle was acquired in a trade with Calgary the day before free agency opened in 2014, and immediately signed an extension with Winnipeg at that time.

Jpan85 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 One of the biggest leaders on the team. At 100% probably their best defensive player. Hopefully comes back nicely from knee injury. Also my favourite on the team glad they locked up #RandleIsland IC Khari and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCn20 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Randle is one of the best in the CFL. It's great we locked him down. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Hoping he can get back to 100%. If he can, he's one of the best in the CFL, period... SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Randle's one of my favorite players. I hope he's 100%. I'd prefer to see him with the DB's than the LB's. Bigblue204 and SPuDS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Nice. He's one of the top defensive players in the CFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadybob Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I hope they move him back to corner this season. If so, does Leggett stay at SAM with Harris at safety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Teague would be a better option than Macho for that position. But, if macho manages to crack our starting line up (puke) he'd be playing SAM.

bustamente Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Pretty sure that he will rejoin the defensive backs this year and will solidify that group, great resigning and a real good team guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
