The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are rebuilding their passing attack around newly signed free-agent receiver Tim White and offensive coordinator Kevin Condell. The team announced the moves on Wednesday as part of a broader effort to revitalize their aerial game for the 2026 CFL season.
Tim White Joins the Bombers
White, a standout receiver for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, signed with Winnipeg as a free agent earlier this year. In 2025, he recorded 1,023 receiving yards and eight touchdowns, showcasing his ability to stretch the field and make contested catches. The Bombers hope his speed and route-running will add a new dimension to an offense that struggled with consistency last season.
Kevin Condell Takes Over as Offensive Coordinator
Condell, previously the offensive coordinator for the Toronto Argonauts, brings a wealth of experience to Winnipeg. Known for his innovative play-calling and ability to develop quarterbacks, Condell is expected to implement a more dynamic passing scheme. He replaces Buck Pierce, who moved to the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the offseason.
Looking Ahead to 2026
The Bombers finished the 2025 season with a 10-8 record, falling short of the Grey Cup. With White and Condell on board, the team aims to improve its passing efficiency and create a more balanced offense. Quarterback Zach Collaros, who threw for 4,200 yards and 22 touchdowns last year, will benefit from White's presence and Condell's system.
General Manager Kyle Walters expressed optimism about the changes. "Tim is a dynamic playmaker who can change the game on any given snap. Kevin's track record speaks for itself. We're excited to see what they can do together."
Training Camp Preparations
The Bombers will open training camp in late May, with White expected to compete for a starting role alongside veteran receivers Kenny Lawler and Dalton Schoen. Condell has already begun installing his playbook, emphasizing quick passes and deep shots to exploit defensive mismatches.
Fans in Winnipeg are eager to see the revamped offense in action, with the Bombers scheduled to host the Calgary Stampeders in their preseason opener on June 1.
