WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have traded the rights to Canadian receiver Giovanni Aprile to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for non-import defensive back Matt Bucknor.

He appeared in all 18 of Hamiltons 2012 regular-season games -- starting 14 -- and finished fifth on the team with 43 tackles and had four more on special teams. Bucknor played nine games in 2013 with two tackles, five special-teams tackles and one forced fumble. He also participated in Hamiltons 45-23 Grey Cup loss to Saskatchewan last November.
