CFL NOTEBOOK

WINNIPEG – Dalton Schoen is confident he didn’t make a mistake by re-signing with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

The team’s top receiver inked a one-year deal on Tuesday after drawing interest from some CFL clubs that could have thrown more cash his way.

“I’m 100 per cent confident that it was the right decision for me,” Schoen told reporters Thursday in a Zoom call from his Kansas City home.

“There was a reason that this was on my heart the whole way through the process. I’m where I’m supposed to be. I know that 100 per cent.”

Schoen said he and his agent received “a significant amount of interest from a handful” of teams.

“When it got down to the crunch time and me making my decision, the financials from other people wasn’t significant enough, to me, to give up what I have here in Winnipeg.”

What he believes he has with the Blue Bombers is special on and off the field.

“After the first couple days of that process, I really looked at the whole picture. You know, what other teams were telling me, what they could offer, how I fit in and stuff like that,” Schoen, 27, said.

“I think the main overarching thing was Winnipeg is where I wanted to be. We have such a good culture. It’s just such a good fit. I know how I can contribute to the team offensively. I love the guys in the locker room.”
