Who picks up Clint Kent?

Mack continues to puzzle me this offseason. Would we have any interest in him? Can't imagine he stays a free agent for long.

Time will tell but surely someone picks him up.

Looks as though Kent will be picked up soon

Expect the #Eskimos to sign vet DB Clint Kent, who was released by the #Bombers this week. Kent broke into the #CFL w/ the #Alouettes. #Esks

Kent has yet to sign with the #Eskimos, but is in Edmonton. Worked with Kavis Reed in #Bombers days. Once #CFL cuts are done, he's likely in

That didn't take long.

Snowrogue, what's your take on why Winnipeg released him?

From what I've gathered and seen, the Bombers have a lot of solid db's, and are either going with a 4-2-6 defensive system or Stewart will simply just taken over the SAM lb position.
Kent had a really strong camp, but the db's were just too good to cut, so Kent was released instead to make room and keep guys like Stewart, Hefney, Sears, Pasco, Beasley, Suber, Washington, etc.
IMO the Bombers easily have the best defensive back-field in the League (not just saying that because I'm a Bombers fan), being a position of strength they can do things that others teams can't.
