A couple of special-teams regulars will return to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for the 2007 Canadian Football League season.

Running back Graeme Bell, 26, and long-snapper Chris Cvetkovic, 29, agreed to new contracts, it was announced on Tuesday.

Bell, who has played the last two seasons in Winnipeg, was third on the Bombers and sixth in the CFL with 19 special-teams tackles in 2006.

The five-foot-10 Regina native also carried the ball 14 times for 59 yards, had a three-yard catch and a touchdown.

"Graeme Bell has been a good player for us and does the little things pretty well," Blue Bombers general manager Brendan Taman told the Winnipeg Free Press. "And he does very well in the short-yardage plays."

Bell, signed as a free agent in 2005, won two Vanier Cup national titles (2002 and 2004) with the University of Saskatchewan.

Cvetkovic has been heralded as "one of the best long snappers in the business."

The six-foot-two, 239-pounder appeared in all 18 regular-season games and one playoff game for Winnipeg last season.

"People don't notice a player like that until there's a missed convert or something," Taman said of Cvetkovic, a graduate of Montreal's Concordia University. "His long-snapping ability is very appreciated here.

"Chris Cvetkovic's contributions on special teams are critical to the team's success in that facet of the game."

Meanwhile, defensive lineman Steve Charbonneau, a member of two Grey Cup-winning teams with the Edmonton Eskimos, was released Tuesday.

He signed as a free agent in 2002, and posted 27 defensive tackles and four quarterback sacks in 17 games last year.

In other CFL news, the B.C. Lions will continue to run their training camp at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford for at least the next two years after reaching an agreement with the city.

The Lions made a stop in Abbotsford on Tuesday to show off the Grey Cup won in late 2006.
