Veteran quarterback Shea Patterson released by Winnipeg Blue Bombers – Winnipeg [Video]

American quarterback Shea Patterson was among seven players released Wednesday by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Patterson, 28, signed with Winnipeg following two seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The six-foot, 212-pound Patterson completed 131 of 217 passes for 1,655 yards with six TDs and five interceptions in 2024 with the Riders, posting a 2-4-1 record in seven starts with the club.

Patterson began his CFL career with Montreal in 2021.

The move came as CFL teams had to get their training-camp rosters down to 75 players, excluding non-counters.

Also released were receiver Scott Brown, offensive lineman Austin Euler, defensive lineman Ryan Johnson, defensive backs Patrick Rogers and Marcus Hillman, and kicker Andrew Mevis. All are Americans.
