Drew Wolitarsky has officially retired from professional football after signing a one-day contract with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the team he played for during the majority of his career. Despite leaving the team last year, Wolitarsky's heart remained with the Bombers, where he played 96 out of 98 career CFL games. The 30-year-old receiver enjoyed a notable eight-year career in the Canadian Football League, with his best season being in 2023, during which he recorded 47 receptions for approximately 700 yards and six touchdowns.

After being drafted in the 2017 CFL Supplemental Draft, Wolitarsky made a significant impact in the league, achieving nearly 3,000 yards receiving and 18 touchdowns throughout his career. However, his tenure took a downturn when he was released by the Bombers and subsequently joined the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Unfortunately, he struggled with injuries and was unable to make a significant contribution in what turned out to be a difficult 2025 season, ultimately leading to his release from the Tiger-Cats earlier this year.

Faced with a lack of suitable contract offers in free agency, Wolitarsky ultimately decided to retire, acknowledging the past year as the hardest of his career. His decision to retire as a Blue Bomber is a testament to his commitment and connection to the team where he spent the majority of his playing career, solidifying his legacy within the CFL and specifically within the Winnipeg community.
