Posted February 26, 20169 yr comment_185837 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.
February 26, 20169 yr comment_185846 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
February 26, 20169 yr comment_185855 Randle is one of the best in the CFL. It's great we locked him down.
February 26, 20169 yr comment_185857 Hoping he can get back to 100%. If he can, he's one of the best in the CFL, period...
February 26, 20169 yr comment_185868 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.
February 26, 20169 yr comment_185922 Great player whether he's playing SAM or Corner. Nice to have him locked down.
February 27, 20169 yr comment_185953 I hope they move him back to corner this season. If so, does Leggett stay at SAM with Harris at safety?

Good lord I hope he's not on our team never mind our starting safety. 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.
February 27, 20169 yr comment_185983 Pretty sure that he will rejoin the defensive backs this year and will solidify that group, great resigning and a real good team guy.
February 28, 20169 yr comment_186044 He must be progressing well if they re-signed him so early ... very good news!
