Former Hamilton Tiger-Cats quarterback Timmy Chang has agreed to terms with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and is expected to join the team on Monday.
The Tiger-Cats released Chang on Friday.
"We've always liked him," Bombers general manager Brendan Taman told the Winnipeg Sun last week. "How we would fit him in is the question mark."
Chang started two games with Hamilton last season, completing 42 of 89 pass attempts for 467 yards, one touchdown and seven interceptions.
The 6-2, 207-pound native of Honolulu, Hawaii, rewrote the NCAA record book in five seasons (2000-2004) at the University of Hawaii, becoming the NCAA's all-time leader in passing yards (17,072), completions (1,388) and attempts (2,436) along with throwing the second-most touchdowns (117) in Division I history.
After completing his collegiate career, Chang gained professional experience with the NFL's Arizona Cardinals, Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles, as well as NFL Europe's Rhein Fire.
The Ticats acquired the negotiation rights to Chang, in addition to import receiver Richard Alston, non-import receiver Nicolas Bisaillon and a second round draft pick in the 2007 CFL Canadian College Draft in exchange for Goss in a trade with the Eskimos on Feb. 13.
