Wild was released a week after the Bombers released veteran cornerback Chris Randle in a move to free up money for their signing of Bighill.

Bighill was signed to a three-year contract worth a reported $775,000 earlier this week.

Wild was a starter in 2013, 2014 and 2016, but has mostly been used a special teamer the last two seasons.
