TRADE: Perry to Bombers; Malveaux to Eskimos

Courtesy TSN.ca:

The Edmonton Eskimos have sent nine-year veteran defensive end Fred Perry to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in exchange for a fellow nine-year veteran, defensive back Kelly Malveaux.

Perry was acquired by the Esks prior to the 2008 campaign, but saw action in only seven games, managing just one sack. The native of Fort Smith, Arkansas has 299 tackles, and 57 sacks in his CFL career. Winnipeg will be the fifth different stop on Perry’s CFL resume, including two stints with the Eskimos.

Malveaux had a productive year for the Blue Bombers in 2008, contributing 63 tackles, two interceptions, and a sack. Edmonton will be his fifth CFL destination as well, after spending time in Saskatchewan, Calgary, Montreal, and Winnipeg.
