The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have agreed to terms on a two-year contract with American defensive back Jonathan Moxey, per sources. Barring anything unforeseen, he’s expected to officially sign with the team on February 10. TSN was first to report the news.

The 31-year-old started 18 regular-season games at field-side cornerback with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2025, making 40 defensive tackles, one special teams tackles, three interceptions, and one forced fumble.

The five-foot-ten, 190-pound defender started his CFL career with the Calgary Stampeders in 2019 and has since made 132 defensive tackles, 10 special teams tackles, eight interceptions, one sack, and one forced fumble. He was named All-West Division with the Stampeders in 2022.

The native of West Palm Beach, Fla. played collegiately at Boise State University, where he was named second-team All-Mountain West in 2016. He spent parts of three years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent, though he never dressed for a regular-season NFL game.

Pending CFL free agents can negotiate with teams across the league during the communication window, which closes on Sunday, February 8. Players can agree to terms on a contract with a particular franchise, though the deals are not binding and can’t be made official until after free agency opens on Tuesday, February 10.

Moxey was 3DownNation’s No. 16-ranked pending CFL free agent.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers finished fourth in the West Division standings in 2025 with a 10-8 record, qualifying for the playoffs as the crossover team before losing the East Semi-Final to the Montreal Alouettes. Zach Collaros threw for 3,048 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions over 13 regular-season games, going 6-7 as a starter.

The Blue Bombers ranked fifth in net offence, third in net defence, and eighth with a turnover differential of minus-eleven. The club’s leading rusher was Brady Oliveira with 1,163 yards, leading receiver was Nic Demski with 1,001 yards, and leading tackler was Tony Jones with 104 tackles. Winnipeg ranked first in attendance with average crowds of 32,343, which was a 3.7 percent increase from the previous year.

Editor’s note: this article originally indicated Moxey’s deal was for one year. This was subsequently corrected to two years.
