WINNIPEG - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers were certainly busy the first day of CFL free agency.
Winnipeg signed international receiver Darvin Adams, Canadian linebacker Sam Hurl and American offensive linemen Marc Dile and Stanley Bryant on Tuesday, hours after the noon ET start of free agency.
Hurl, a Calgary native, had 36 tackles, two fumble recoveries and a sack last year with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
The six-foot-one, 225-pound Hurl spent three seasons at Saskatchewan, recording 41 tackles, 35 special-teams tackles, two sacks and two fumble recoveries.
Hurl had the distinction of becoming the first CFL free agent to come to terms Tuesday, doing so just over 90 minutes after becoming a free agent.
Shortly afterwards, the Bombers announced the addition of Adams. The six-foot-two, 182-pound receiver had 18 catches for 237 yards and a TD last season with the Toronto Argonauts.
Adams spent two years in Toronto, recording 21 receptions for 261 yards with two TDs.
The six-foot-four, 300-pound Dile spent the last three seasons with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The Florida native was a starter with the CFL club in '12 but has had injury woes since.
Bryant, 28, joins the Bombers after five seasons with the Calgary Stampeders. The six-foot-five, 313-pound native of Goldsboro, N.C., played both tackle positions during his time with the Stampeders and twice was their nominee for the league's outstanding lineman award.
Improving an offensive line that allowed a league-high 71 sacks was a priority this off-season for Winnipeg (7-11), which finished last in the West Division.
