The Winnipeg Blue Bombers release quarterback Alex Brink, and sign import QBs Max Hall and Chase Clement.

Tweet from Brink @AlexBrink10 I'm truly going to miss my teammates, the city, and the fans. On to the next battle. Setbacks setup comebacks. God Bless.

Brink signed with Winnipeg in 2010 and played in 26 games over the past three seasons, starting seven. He completed 226 of 398 passes for 2,573 yards with 13 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.

His release comes just two weeks after the team parted ways with QB Joey Elliott.

"We would like to thank Alex for his contributions to our football team over the last three seasons," said team general manager Joe Mack in a statement.

"Unfortunately, we feel as though we need to go in a different direction when it comes to our quarterbacks this season and Alex will not be a part of that equation. We wish him well in his future."

Shortly after announcing Brink's departure, the team issued a press release saying it signed import quarterbacks Max Hall and Chase Clement.

"We’re very excited to add these two young quarterbacks to our roster. Both of these men excelled at the collegiate level and have experience in the professional ranks as well, and we look forward to watching them both compete for roster spots in training camp," said Mack.

As per team policy, details of the agreements are not being disclosed.

Max Hall Hall (6-1, 205 pounds, DOB: Oct 1, 1985 in Mesa, Ariz.) cracked the Arizona Cardinals roster as an undrafted free agent in 2010 and appeared in six games that season – including three starts – completing 39 of his 78 pass attempts for 370 yards and a touchdown. In his first start, Hall helped the Cardinals defeat the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints, completing 17 of 27 passes for 168 yards in a 30-20 victory. At Brigham Young University, Hall was a three-time All-Mountain West Conference quarterback while leading the Cougar offence and becoming the school’s all-time winningest quarterback with 32 victories while amassing 11,365 passing yards and 94 touchdowns. Last season, Hall joined the coaching staff at BYU and became a student assistant. Chase Clement Clement (6-1, 210 pounds, DOB: June 11, 1986 in San Antonio, Texas) saw action in all four years at Rice University and finished his collegiate career with several Conference USA records including career touchdowns (99 passes, 25 rushes and one receiving) and holds the NCAA Division I record for career touchdowns between a quarterback and receiver tandem with 51 that he threw to Jarett Dillard. Clement threw for 9,785 yards in four seasons and holds numerous school, conference and NCAA records. As a senior, he threw for 4,119 yards and 44 touchdowns against just seven interceptions. He is the only quarterback in NCAA history to record at least 300 passing yards and 100 rushing yards in two consecutive games. Upon graduation, Clement spent time with the Las Vegas Locomotives of the United Football League where he was named MVP of the 2010 UFL Championship game.

With the addition of these two players, the Bombers now have four quarterbacks under contract, including veteran Buck Pierce, and fourth-year Bomber Justin Goltz.
