Star receiver Dalton Schoen signs 1-year extension with Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Schoen returns to Winnipeg for a 4th season after being limited to 3 games due to a knee injury in 2024

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers re-signed star receiver Dalton Schoen to a one-year contract on Saturday.

The six-foot-one, 210-pound Schoen returns to Winnipeg for a fourth season after being limited to three games due to a knee injury in 2024.

In his previous two seasons, Schoen totalled 141 receptions for 2,663 yards and 26 touchdowns in 34 games to earn two West Division and CFL all-star nods.

The 28-year-old American was scheduled to hit free agency on Feb. 11.

Schoen’s 10 receiving touchdowns in 2023 led the CFL and his 1,222 yards ranked third.

The Blue Bombers have reached the Grey Cup championship game in each of his three seasons in Winnipeg so far, but have lost each time.
